DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Global LNG Bunkering Market, By Product Type, By Application, By Region, Estimation & Forecast, 2017 – 2027” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global LNG bunkering market held a market value of USD 2,212.9 Million in 2020 and is forecasted to reach USD 25,045.8 Million by the year 2027. The market is projected to witness a CAGR of 42.6% during the forecast period.
LNG Bunkering is providing liquefied natural gas fuel to a ship for its own consumption. IMO regulation on sulphur content in the marine fuel is anticipated to boost the market growth. Also, increase in gas exploration and production activities are also estimated to boost market growth.
Despite the driving factors, demand supply gap for LNG bunkering are estimated to hinder the market growth. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the market experienced a decline in growth due to temporary bans in export and import. However, the market is anticipated to recover from declining revenues in the second half of 2021, owing to rise in demand for LNG as bunker fuel from the maritime transport.

Growth Influencers:
MO regulation on sulphur content in the marine fuel.
IMO or International Maritime Organization, in January 2020, announced a new limit of the presence of sulphur content in fuel used in ships. The new regulation is known as IMO 2020 and limits the sulphur content in marine fuel used in board ships which operate outside the designated emission control areas to 0.50% m/m. This is a significant reduction from 3.5%, which was the previously set limit. Owing to this regulation, the demand for liquefied natural gas has increased, which contains negligible amount of sulphur.
