The average transaction price of domestically-produced LNG at factory gates/loading stations in China during this week (December 22–26, 2025) registered at 3,822 yuan per ton, posting a 3.82% month-on-month decline. This week, the price of China’s domestic LNG market witnessed a marked downward trend.

During the week, competition among upstream resource suppliers turned exceptionally fierce, while the offtake capacity of the downstream market failed to keep pace. This left upstream plants under considerable pressure in terms of product distribution. Meanwhile, the price of imported LNG resources was slashed substantially to stimulate sales and shipments. This move exerted a notable impact on the domestic LNG market, driving down the price of domestically-produced natural gas and leaving the overall market trading sentiment rather subdued.
