Global Bunker Fuel Market Overview
According to SPER Market Research, the Global Bunker Fuel Market is estimated to reach USD 186.72 billion by 2032 with a CAGR of 4.54%.
The term Bunker fuel is used for the fuel oil used by marine vessels. It is used in the ship bunker to keep the engines moving. Residual fuel and distillate fuel are the main categories of fuels used in bunkers. It is mainly classified into three categories (A, B and C) depending on the quality with A being the highest quality and C being the lowest. There is another classification for the fuel which is based on the amount of sulphur present in the oil. As per it, the fuels are classified into high sulphur fuel oil, low sulphur fuel oil, marine gas oil, and others. They are characterised on the basis of their viscosities, carbon-carbon chain length, boiling point and the effluent release while the fuel is burned. Currently, bunker fuel C is the one which is mainly used by the Marine vessels. When it is burned, it releases large amount of GHG (greenhouse gases), Sulphur and other emissions that drastically deteriorate the climate and negatively affects the environmental and human health.
As compared to other oils, the bunker fuel oil has higher viscosity and due to this it is used by cruise liners, oil tankers, and container ships. The global bunker fuel market is increasing due to the increase in the number of international shipments, a result of globalization. The further increase in the number of cargo shipments projects the increase in the market in the next few years. The fuel is also used in the ships that are used to carry a lot of passenger because of their speed and high capacity for cargo. Out of the different types, the low sulphur fuel segment captures most of the market. Also, as a result of the enormous marine commerce potential of nations like India, China, Singapore, Japan, and others, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to dominate the bunker fuel industry. But the market is seeing various challenges which are hampering its growth. The reason for this can be due to awareness toward reducing environmental pollution, rise in the technological development in vessels, stringent government policies, increase in LNG-powered vessels.
Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Bunker Fuel Market
The infestation of COVID-19 has resulted in a drop in the global bunker fuel market which can be attributed to lockdown imposed which restricted the movements across the borders. Due to this we saw a steep fall in the number of shipments. It disrupted the import, export and hence the overall supply chain of many non-essential commodities which in turn affected the global bunker fuel market in a negative manner. But in post covid periods the shipments are regaining the numbers or in fact increasing than previous which is helping in increase in the market in the forecast period.
