Key stakeholders of the report include suppliers, manufacturers, marketers, policymakers, and healthcare service providers engaged in global methane hydrate products. Methane hydrate is a cage-like lattice of ice inside of which are trapped molecules of methane.

Natural gas is the chief constituent of methane hydrate. Methane is an influential greenhouse gas. Warmer temperatures in the Arctic lead to steady gas hydrates melting below permafrost. Even though accumulations of methane hydrate are situated in tough environments and present many technical defies. They are far and wide disseminated and it is the largest source of hydrocarbons on Earth. However, methane hydrates are subtle residues. They can quickly dissociate on rising temperature or a decrease in pressure, these can lead to the collapsing of submarines, landslides, or sinking that can cause damage to the production of equipment and pipelines. These factors restrain the growth of the market.
