Singapore—Qatar, the Middle East’s leading exporter of LPG, is expanding its markets in South Asia and Southeast Asia, as it faces growing competition from the US for its traditional North Asian markets, an official with marketing firm Tasweeq said Tuesday. Shipments to South Asia last year, particularly to major market India, jumped to 3.5 million mt, or 34% of Qatar’s 10.7 million mt exports to Asia, up from 500,000 mt, or 7% of its 8 million mt exports in 2010, Amad Shaikh, Tasweeq’s market analysis director said.
