Posted October 14, 2025U.S. ethane exports are expected to grow through 2026 ›
Note: Export capacity includes total flexport capacity, which includes other hydrocarbon gas liquid export capacity.
U.S. ethane exports are poised for significant growth through 2026, driven by robust global demand for ethane as a petrochemical feedstock, substantial U.S. export capacity expansions, and larger vessels to carry ethane exports. In our October Short-Term Energy Outlook, we forecast U.S. ethane net exports will grow 14% in 2025, followed by a 16% rise in 2026. The United States does not import ethane.
