Bunker Oil Market Size is projected to reach USD 191.77 Billion by 2032, growing at A CAGR of 6.9%

Market Overview: The global bunker oil market had a value of USD 137.09 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 191.77 billion by 2032, with an expected annual revenue growth rate of 6.9% during the forecast period. The primary drivers of this revenue growth include the increasing demand for shipping services worldwide and the rapid expansion of maritime trade.

Ships rely on bunker oil to fuel their engines for long-distance travel, making the robust growth of the global shipping industry a key factor contributing to market expansion.

Adoption of advanced bunkering systems with enhanced efficiency, safety features, and reduced emissions of harmful pollutants like Sulfur oxides (SOx), Nitrogen oxides (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2) is also poised to boost revenue growth in the global bunker oil market. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) mandates the use of low-sulfur fuel oil to mitigate the environmental impact of marine transportation, leading to increased demand for low-sulfur bunker oil and further revenue growth.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is witnessing high demand as a bunker fuel due to its energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness in the marine sector. LNG is environmentally friendlier compared to traditional bunker fuels, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Rising awareness of the need to reduce carbon footprints and stricter emissions regulations are expected to drive the demand for LNG as a bunker fuel, contributing to the growth of the global bunker oil market.

However, geopolitical uncertainties, fluctuations in crude oil prices, and stringent environmental regulations imposed on the shipping sector could hinder market revenue growth. The direct impact of bunker fuel price fluctuations on crude oil prices may affect the market negatively. Moreover, the shipping industry's increased costs due to strict emission regulations, such as the IMO's sulfur cap regulations, could influence the demand for bunker fuel.

Key Insights:

Fuel Grade Overview:

  • The global bunker oil market categorizes bunker fuel into three grades: marine gas oil, intermediate fuel oil, and residual fuel oil. In 2021, the segment selling residual fuel oil held the largest revenue share. Residual fuel oil, a heavy fuel with high density and viscosity, is primarily used in marine and industrial applications. Its lower price compared to other fuel grades has been a significant factor affecting market growth. However, concerns about its high sulfur content have led to regulations mandating low sulfur fuel oil, impacting market expansion negatively.

End-Use Outlook:

  • By end-use, the bunker oil market segments into container ships, tankers, bulk carriers, and others. The tanker segment accounted for the highest revenue share in 2021 due to the substantial fuel consumption of these vessels and the demand for cost-effective fuel options.
  • The container vessel segment is expected to experience significant growth during the forecast period, driven by the increasing demand for container shipping and the need to comply with environmental regulations. The use of cleaner fuel alternatives, such as marine gas oil and low-sulfur fuel oil, is a requirement for compliance, contributing to higher bunker oil prices in this segment.
  • The bulk carrier segment is projected to grow steadily, mainly due to the need for affordable fuel options in vessels that transport dry goods like coal, iron ore, and grain.
  • Other vessel types, including passenger ships, offshore support vessels, and fishing vessels, may see varying demand for bunker oil influenced by vessel size, operational conditions, and regulatory compliance.

Regional Outlook:

  • The North American market is projected to expand at a moderate rate, supported by a well-established shipping industry and rising energy sector investments. The United States, one of the top bunker oil consumers globally, benefits from extensive maritime trade. However, the transition to eco-friendly and sustainable energy sources may affect bunker oil demand. Increased use of LNG as a marine fuel is anticipated to contribute to market growth in North America.

Competitive Landscape:

  • Key companies in the bunker oil market include Royal Dutch Shell plc, ExxonMobil Corporation, BP plc, Total S.A., Chevron Corporation, Sinopec Group, Lukoil, Gazprom Neft PJSC, Petrobras, and Valero Energy Corporation.

Strategic Developments:

  • In 2021, Royal Dutch Shell announced its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 or sooner, investing in initiatives such as low-carbon biofuels and hydrogen as a marine fuel to reduce its carbon footprint in the bunker oil market.
  • ExxonMobil partnered with the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping in 2020 to develop technologies and fuels for decarbonizing the shipping industry, aiming to accelerate low-carbon solutions in the bunker oil market.
  • BP invested $10 million in 2019 in LanzaTech, a biofuel company, to develop and commercialize low-carbon fuels for the shipping industry, reducing the carbon footprint of the bunker oil market.
  • Total S.A. partnered with CMA CGM, a French container transportation and shipping company, in 2018 to develop LNG as a marine fuel, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality in the bunker oil market.

New Product Launches:

  • ExxonMobil launched its EMF.5™ range of marine fuels in 2021, designed to meet IMO's 2020 regulations for low sulfur emissions while improving fuel efficiency.
  • Royal Dutch Shell introduced the Shell Alexia 40 lubricant oil for low-speed marine engines in 2020, aiming to enhance engine reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and comply with IMO 2020 regulations for low sulfur emissions.
