I've installed easily 200 dryers through my job and I've never encountered a gas powered one. I don't doubt that they exist, but must be a regional thing
They definitely exist in the US but they're not super common in any of the 5 states I've lived in...
That said, I've had one in a storage unit since my father in law passed away in 2015 in California.
Can't find anyone who wants to buy the darn thing because it's so rare for houses or apartments to actually have gas hookups for dryers though.
Do you install them in the USA? You're probably right, it's probably regional based on the cost of gas. In PA, gas is cheap, and the dryers are more efficient so it costs a fraction of what an electric dryer costs to operate. So they are very common, maybe one in three or one in five homes has one.
Home Depot sells them.
