Brunei butane import shipments in 2024 continued to showcase a strong growth trajectory, with a notable increase in concentration among the top exporting countries. South Korea, China, Malaysia, Japan, and the Philippines emerged as key players in supplying butane to Brunei. The high Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) concentration in 2023 escalated to very high in 2024, indicating a more consolidated market. With a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.91% from 2020 to 2024 and an impressive growth rate of 50.9% from 2023 to 2024, Brunei butane import sector appears to be on a promising upward trajectory.

The Butane market in Brunei is influenced by the country`s energy sector, where butane is used primarily for domestic heating and cooking, as well as in the petrochemical industry. The market is stable, supported by the steady demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and the government`s focus on ensuring energy security. However, the market`s growth potential may be limited by the small size of the domestic market and the availability of alternative energy sources.
The butane market in Brunei is driven by the growing demand for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in residential and commercial applications. The increasing use of butane in the petrochemical industry as a feedstock for producing various chemicals also contributes to market growth. Additionally, the rising demand for portable fuel sources in the automotive and camping sectors drives butane consumption.
The Brunei butane market is constrained by fluctuating global oil prices, which affect the cost of production and supply. Additionally, the market faces environmental challenges related to the use of fossil fuels, leading to increased regulatory scrutiny and a push for cleaner alternatives.
Bruneis energy policies, which focus on maintaining a stable supply of hydrocarbons, impact the butane market. The governments approach to managing its natural gas resources and export policies significantly influences butane production and distribution.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
