Global LNG Bunkering Market Insights

LNG Bunkering Market size was valued at USD 592.84 million in 2019 and is poised to grow from USD 801.87 million in 2023 to USD 8,983.84 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 35.26% in the forecast period (2024-2031).

The technique of delivering LNG fuel to ships for consumption is known as LNG bunkering. Many international organisations and nations have passed rules encouraging the use of LNG as a marine fuel, which has aided the global growth of the LNG bunkering sector. LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) is rapidly being accepted because of low sulphur content and lesser greenhouse emission unlike the traditional fuels such marine gas fuel, marine diesel fuel, etc. Also the technological advancements in the ship-to-ship LNG bunkering is the trending topic in industry.

Over the forecast period, the LNG bunkering market is expected to increase significantly. The increasing number of vessels and ships are using LNG. Governmental and non-governmental organisations are enforcing strict controls on hazardous gas emissions. The American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), for instance, has implemented a risk assessment methodology for LNG leakage during bunkering, which covers leaks from LNG pipes, pumps, tanks, or hoses, unintended hose disconnection, overfilling vessel fuel tanks, and external impact. This creates a favourable climate for the LNG bunkering sector to expand. However, one of the primary issues impeding the growth of the worldwide LNG bunkering market is a lack of infrastructure for fueling LNG across bunkering locations.

US LNG Bunkering Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Global LNG Bunkering Market Regional Insights

The North American LNG Bunkering Market holds the most lucrative segment of the market owing to factors like focus on offshore production in some regions of the country and increased shale gas production. Also, the region is expected to show the highest growth during the forecast period. Europe has traditionally held a large portion of the worldwide LNG bunkering business. This is due to the region's early use of LNG as a maritime fuel as well as the presence of emission control areas (ECAs). Furthermore, European countries are enacting strict environmental legislation aimed at lowering air pollution, which is expected to increase the region's use of LNG as a maritime fuel.

In 2021, Asia Pacific held a 27.4 %share of the worldwide market. With yearly sales approaching 50 million metric tonnes, Singapore has become the world's largest centre for conventional bunker fuels. Due to current developments for the construction of new ports, India is also a leading country in the LNG bunkering business.

Global LNG Bunkering Market Dynamics

LNG Bunkering Market Driver

  • Implementation of regulations over sulphur content by the UN is expected to drive the market over the forecast year.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), a UN organisation, reduced the sulphur content cap in marine fuels from 3.5 percent to 0.5 percent. The new regulation is scheduled to be in effect. However, refineries may be forced to make extra investments and process changes in order to provide marine fuels that fulfil the sulphur content standards. However, LNG has less sulphur and requires less processing to meet sulphur content standards.

  • Economically Feasible LNG fuel is widely accepted by nations.

When compared to traditional marine fuels, it requires fewer adjustments in the manufacturing process. As a result, LNG's economic viability is likely to lead to increased adoption in the coming years. During the forecast period, this development is expected to drive the LNG bunkering market.

LNG Bunkering Market Restraint 

  • The slow growth of the offshore oil and gas industry is impacting demand for offshore service vessels, which is stifling the LNG bunkering market's growth. Furthermore, issues such as large capital investments in LNG bunker development and the availability of alternatives to LNG for decreasing sulphur content, such as the use of scrubbers, are limiting LNG Bunkering Market expansion to some extent.
