Global Bunker Fuel Market to Grow at 5.3% During 2024-2032, Spurred by the Rising Seaborne Trade Activities

September 28, 2020 | Technology & Media

According to the recent report by IMARC Group, titled “Bunker Fuel Market Report by Fuel Type (High Sulfur Fuel Oil (HSFO), Very Low Sulfur Fuel Oil (VLSFO), Marine Diesel Oil (MDO), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)), Vessel Type (Containers, Tankers, General Cargo, Bulk Carrier, and Others), Seller (Major Oil Companies, Leading Independent Sellers, Small Independent Sellers), and Region 2024-2032,” the global bunker fuel market reached a value of US$ 160.1 Billion in 2023. Bunker fuel is used to power the engines of a ship or marine fleet. It is a heavy, residual oil left over after the extraction of diesel, gasoline, and other light hydrocarbons during the refining process. Bunker fuel is brown to black in color with a characteristic odor and high sulfur content. It is graded A, B or C, with C being the most viscous and thickest fuel, which requires blending or heating to make the liquid flow easily. If mixed with 10 percent of a light fuel, the product becomes a cheap fuel alternative for shipping. Bunker fuel is transported to ships that are engaged in international navigation.


Global Bunker Fuel Market Trends:

One of the major growth-inducing factors of the market is the rising demand for the ship transportation industry. Several ship operators prefer fuel oil with the lowest price as it incurs more than 65% of the total travel expenses. As bunker fuel is emerging as a cost-effective option for the marine and shipping industry, there has been significant growth in the market. Apart from this, rapid technological development and gradual growth in international seaborne trade have also increased the sales of bunker fuel. Additionally, there is a high demand for LNG in the transportation sector as it is a much cleaner and affordable source of energy in comparison to conventional sources. This, in turn, is creating a positive outlook for the market growth. Some of the other factors fueling the market growth are rapid globalization, increasing investments in research and development (R&D) projects to develop clean fuels and government initiatives toward strengthening geographical border security. On account of these factors, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period (2024-2032).
