The global LPG alternatives market is undergoing one of the most accelerated structural transitions in the history of energy access. Valued at USD 68.5 billion in 2025, the market is projected to reach USD 111.6–113.3 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 8.50–8.69%, according to the NAVADHI Global LPG Alternatives Market Strategic Research Report 2026–2031. This growth is being driven simultaneously by four structural forces: the ongoing Iran War-triggered LPG supply disruption, secular decarbonisation policy mandates across the G20, rapid cost reduction in electric cooking appliances, and mounting evidence that LPG alternatives are now economically superior in major markets.

The Iran War is the single most significant near-term accelerant. The Strait of Hormuz — through which approximately 35% of globally traded LPG transits — has been effectively blocked since February 28, 2026, causing LPG prices to surge 22–35%. This supply shock has compressed adoption timelines for every LPG alternative by an estimated 2–3 years, transforming what were medium-term transitions into immediate procurement decisions by governments, commercial kitchen operators, and households across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.

The competitive landscape in this market is deliberately diverse: no single company spans all seven LPG alternative categories (electric induction, piped natural gas, biogas/biomethane, improved biomass cookstoves, solar cooking, ethanol/methanol cooking, and electric resistance/infrared). The ten companies profiled in this report represent the leading players across the most commercially significant alternative categories, from Midea Group's global scale in electric induction cooking to GoSun's pioneering work in solar cooking for off-grid populations.

Solar cooking, while the smallest segment today, is expected to show the highest growth at a CAGR of 13.32% through 2031, driven by declining costs in parabolic and box cooker technology and rapid adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Electric induction cooking leads the market in absolute size with a 10.90% CAGR, while biogas and biomethane follow at 11.46% — both benefiting from EU mandates, India's GOBAR-DHAN scheme, and the global food waste regulation wave.

Founded in 2010, Greenway designs and markets forced-draft biomass cookstoves under the 'Greenway Smart Stove' brand, which deliver 65% fuel efficiency improvement and 70% smoke reduction compared to traditional three-stone fires. Greenway has distributed over 2 million cookstoves across India, East Africa, and Southeast Asia, reaching some of the world's poorest households that have no access to LPG, electricity, or piped gas.

Greenway Grameen is a private company and does not disclose audited revenues. Its significance in the LPG alternatives market lies not in revenue scale but in unit reach and impact: with over 2 million stoves deployed, Greenway is one of the highest-volume LPG-alternative product manufacturers for the Base of Pyramid market. The company has received backing from Shell Foundation, OPIC (now DFC), Omidyar Network, and other impact investors, and has sold carbon credits under the Gold Standard to corporations seeking Scope 3 emissions reductions. The NAVADHI report classifies Improved Biomass & Cookstoves at 3.90% CAGR — the lowest of all segments — due to rural electrification limiting long-term upside, but the absolute installed base remains enormous.

10. GoSun Inc.

GoSun Inc., headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, is the world's most recognized brand in consumer solar cooking technology — a segment projected by NAVADHI to be the fastest-growing LPG alternative at 13.32% CAGR through 2031. Founded in 2013 by Patrick Sherwin, GoSun designs and sells evacuated-tube solar cookers, solar-powered refrigerators, solar generators, and sun-powered outdoor cooking gear directly to consumers globally. Its flagship GoSun Sport (portable solar cooker) and GoSun Go (ultra-compact travel cooker) use parabolic reflectors and evacuated glass tubes to reach cooking temperatures of up to 290°C using only sunlight — with no fuel cost, no emissions, and no dependence on LPG, charcoal, or electricity grids.

GoSun is a private company that has raised funding through crowdfunding campaigns (Kickstarter, Indiegogo) and angel investment, and does not publish financial results. Its revenues are modest relative to the other companies in this ranking, but its strategic importance is disproportionate: GoSun has demonstrated consumer viability for solar cooking in developed markets (outdoor recreation, emergency preparedness) and is pivoting toward humanitarian and development-sector deployment in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia — precisely the markets where the NAVADHI report projects the fastest solar cooking growth. GoSun's technology roadmap includes solar cooking systems designed specifically for off-grid communities in LPG-dependent developing markets.

• HQ: Cincinnati, Ohio, USA
• Revenue: Undisclosed (private; crowdfunded; consumer direct-to-market)
• Key Products: GoSun Sport, GoSun Go, GoSun Fusion (solar + electric hybrid), GoSun Chill (solar fridge)
• Segments: Solar Cooking (consumer outdoor, emergency, humanitarian), Solar Energy Access

• Electric induction becomes dominant alternative: The 10.90% CAGR for induction cooking (largest segment) has been reinforced by 2026 price parity in India, China, and Southeast Asia — Midea and Versuni/Philips are the primary beneficiaries.
• Vivo Energy pivots toward LPG alternatives: The Somagaz acquisition (Oct 2023) and solar energy pillar signal that Africa's largest fuel distributor is actively building LPG alternative capabilities alongside its core fuel business.
• Electrolux Professional's Adventys acquisition (2024): Deliberate move into induction-specialist commercial kitchen equipment, directly targeting commercial kitchens seeking to eliminate gas/LPG dependence.
• Biogas/biomethane at infrastructure inflection: EnviTec's pivot from electricity to biomethane (target: 1,100 GWh by 2031) reflects EU policy shift; EU biomethane mandate and India GOBAR-DHAN are creating structural demand.
• IGL PNG network crossing 3 million connections: India's largest city gas distributor is a direct infrastructure-level LPG replacement at urban scale; LPG price surge accelerating household switching to PNG.
• Solar cooking emerging from niche to growth segment: GoSun's 13.32% CAGR forecast (fastest of all segments) driven by parabolic/evacuated-tube cost declines and Sub-Saharan Africa expansion.

1. The Iran War LPG Price Shock as a Structural Accelerant

The 2026 Iran War represents the most consequential near-term event in the LPG alternatives market. The effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz — through which approximately 35% of globally traded LPG transits — has caused LPG prices to surge 22–35% since February 28, 2026. Unlike previous price spikes (the 2022 energy crisis, COVID supply disruptions), this shock is occurring at a moment when LPG alternatives have already crossed cost parity in major markets. The result is that both government bodies and private consumers are compressing decision timelines: procurement decisions that would have taken 3–5 years are being made in months. This benefits induction cooking (fastest payback at urban scale), PNG infrastructure (government emergency investment), and biogas (rural and distributed supply security). Companies with ready-to-deploy products and distribution infrastructure — Midea, IGL, Versuni — are positioned to capture the accelerated demand.

2. Cost Parity Permanently Crossed for Electric Induction in Major Markets

The NAVADHI report identifies cost parity as a decisive structural shift — not a temporary phenomenon. In India, China, and most of Southeast Asia, the total cost of ownership of electric induction cooking (appliance + electricity) has crossed below the total cost of LPG cooking (stove + cylinder refills) even before the Iran War price surge. The Iran War has extended this parity to markets where LPG was previously cheaper. Midea Group's global manufacturing scale — producing induction cookers at sub-USD 30 price points — has been central to this cost reduction. The Chinese manufacturer price commoditisation dynamic noted in the NAVADHI report is a double-edged effect: it drives mass adoption (beneficial to the market) while compressing margins for premium brands like Versuni and Electrolux Professional, who must differentiate on features and reliability.

3. Biogas and Biomethane at the EU Policy Inflection Point

The European Union's REPowerEU plan and biomethane production targets (35 billion cubic metres by 2030) have created a policy-driven demand pull for biogas/biomethane that is transforming the economics of the sector. EnviTec Biogas's strategic pivot from electricity generation to biomethane production — targeting 1,100 GWh of biomethane by 2031 versus only 500 GWh in 2025 — is the most tangible corporate response to this policy shift. Simultaneously, India's GOBAR-DHAN scheme (Galvanizing Organic Bio-Agro Resources Dhan) is providing capital subsidies for biogas plant construction in rural areas, directly supporting Sistema.bio and similar smallholder biogas operators in India's Critical LPG Dependency market. The NAVADHI report's 11.46% CAGR forecast for biogas/biomethane is among the highest of any segment.

4. Africa as the Largest LPG Alternative Deployment Opportunity

Sub-Saharan Africa represents the single largest untapped market for LPG alternatives, combining Very High LPG Dependency (Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania) with low electrification rates, high solar irradiance, and massive rural biomass cookstove markets. Vivo Energy's Africa-wide distribution network — 4,000 service stations across 28 countries — gives it a unique infrastructure advantage to deploy both LPG and LPG alternatives simultaneously. GoSun's solar cooking push into Sub-Saharan Africa targets households where solar cooking is the only economically viable alternative. Greenway Grameen's East Africa operations (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania) serve the improved biomass segment for households not yet reachable by any other technology. The Iran War LPG price shock has made the economics of solar and biogas alternatives in Africa dramatically more compelling.

5. Commercial Food Service as the Fastest Institutional Adoption Channel

The commercial food service sector — restaurants, hotels, hospitals, institutional caterers — is emerging as the fastest institutional channel for LPG alternative adoption. Electrolux Professional's entire business model is built on this transition: its induction-based commercial kitchen equipment gives professional chefs precise temperature control, lower heat output (better kitchen working conditions), and — increasingly — a lower total cost versus gas-fired equipment. The NAVADHI report notes that commercial kitchen operators are making procurement decisions driven by regulatory pressure (gas bans in new buildings in California, Amsterdam, and other jurisdictions), energy cost volatility, and corporate sustainability commitments. Electrolux Professional's acquisition of Adventys — an induction cooking specialist — in 2024 is a direct bet on commercial food service as the highest-margin, most accelerated LPG alternative adoption channel.
