The demand for bunker oil has a direct correlation with international trade activity. As international trade grows in demand, the demand for ships and marine fuel rises tremendously. Global trade is mainly impacted by factors such as economic expansion, changing consumer tastes, and political events. In addition, further market integration of emerging economies into global trade patterns is expected to augment bunker fuel consumption and the growth of the global bunker fuel market.

Increasing Use of Biofuels and LNG: Shipping companies are rapidly switching to the use of liquefied natural gas, biofuels, and synthetic fuels for their operations instead of conventional bunker oil because of the requirements for stricter emissions. The development of an LNG bunkering facility is a clear indication of the promising future of renewable biofuels as alternative energy for the environment. Carbon footprints reduced sulfur emission support to all global sustainability objectives and would also go along with cleaner shipping operations.

North America holds a significant portion of the bunker oil market owing to its well-developed maritime industry and well-link ports in the global market network. The region's requirement for bunker oil varies directly with increasing international trade because emerging economies increase the demand for naval fuel. Growth in LNG bunkering, and other communes was critical and impacted by the dynamics of the utilization of low-sulfur fuels. Government initiatives such as North American Emission Control Areas (ECAs) also promote the consumption of cleaner fuels. Market patterns are greatly driven by, but not limited to, current geopolitical events, consumer demands, and economic growth.
