Bunker Fuel Market to hit US$ 399.59 Bn by 2027 with CAGR 4.6%
Bunker Fuel Market |
Bunker Fuel is intended for use by the shipping industry to power
its marine fleet. In the shipping industry, Fuel oil is mostly used as a bunker
oil. Bunker Fuel is divided into two types: distillates and residual Fuel oils.
In general, bunker Fuel is any Fuel that is burned in a boiler or furnace to
generate power for an engine.
The increased development of
hydrocarbon resources in offshore areas is driving demand for bunker Fuel.
Rapidly expanding exploration activities, combined with the increasing
establishment of new hydrocarbon reserves, have resulted in an increase in
offshore and onshore reserves. Furthermore, increased oil and gas exploration
activities at deep offshore locations are expected to boost bunker Fuel market
growth.
Increasing Fuel reduction
initiatives by the shipping industry in response to rising environmental
concerns and the need to reduce carbon footprint are expected to stymie market
growth. This shipping industry is implementing efficient technologies that help
to reduce Fuel consumption. Over the forecast period, increased production of
bunker oil for the shipping industry is expected to provide potential market
opportunities. For example, Sinopec announced in March 2020 that its Guangzhou
refinery had begun producing very low sulphur Fuel oil (VLSFO) for the shipping
market. Thus, rising bunker Fuel production to meet rising global demand is
expected to favour market growth in the near future.
The global Bunker
Fuel Market is projected to reach around US$ 399.59 billion by the
end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast
period (2020-2027).
The growing naval fleets of
countries such as China, Brazil, Russia, and the United States are expected to
open up new market opportunities in the near future. The increased use of
bunker Fuel for reFuelling while sailing is expected to increase demand for
this Fuel. Furthermore, the growing demand for tanker vessels for trading
liquid materials around the world is expected to drive bunker Fuel market
growth. Product innovation by key manufacturers in marine Fuel is a growing
trend in the market, and it is expected to boost bunker Fuel market growth.
Neste, for example, announced the launch of low-sulfur marine Fuels in August
2019 to assist ships in meeting upcoming International Maritime Organization
(IMO) sulphur dioxide emissions regulations. Thus, continues product innovation
by key manufacturers is expected to foster market growth.
The slowing of global economic
activity has put a halt to the use of Fuel oil for shipping. Container trade
volumes and container port volumes have decreased in the first months of 2020
as a result of Covid-19. According to the International Transport Forum, global
container trade volumes fell 8.6% in February 2020 compared to the previous
month. Carriers' primary response to falling demand has been to reduce supply.
Ship operators have massively reduced the number of idle vessels by cancelling
services. According to the International Transport Forum, the share of idle
container ship capacity in early March 2020 reached 2.5 million Twenty-foot
Equivalent Units (TEU), or 10.6% of capacity. This will reduce demand for
marine Fuels.
