Marine Bunker Oil Market Research, 2033
The global marine bunker oil market size was valued at $151.0 billion in 2023, and is projected to reach $280.7 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2024 to 2033.
Market Introduction and Definition
Marine bunker oil, commonly known as bunker fuel, refers to the heavy, viscous petroleum products used to power ships. Derived from the residue of crude oil distillation, it primarily includes heavy fuel oil (HFO) , marine gas oil (MGO) , and marine diesel oil (MDO) . Bunker oil is essential for the maritime industry, providing the necessary energy for the propulsion of large vessels and the operation of onboard machinery. However, it is characterized by high sulfur content and significant emissions of pollutants such as sulfur oxides (SOx) , nitrogen oxides (NOx) , and particulate matter, contributing to environmental pollution. To mitigate these effects, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has implemented regulations to limit sulfur content in marine fuels.
