                    [Summary] => The growth of the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) industry is projected to remain below 10 percent this year, an industry official said.


Philippine Association of LPG Cylinder Manufacturers Inc. president Mercedita Pastrana, said the projected low growth can be traced to a  decline in demand particularly in the industrial sector.


Pastrana noted that prior to the Asian financial crisis in 1997, the growth of the LPG market was placed at 15 to 20 percent, down from 20 percent in 1996.
