The global LNG bunkering market is estimated to be valued at USD 1.24 Bn in 2024, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.3% from 2024 to 2031. The global LNG bunkering market has been growing steadily over the past few years. LNG is currently one of the most viable alternatives to conventional marine fuels owing to its environmental and cost benefits. Several shipping companies and ports are encouraging the use of LNG as a marine fuel to meet the stringent environmental regulations on SOx and particulate emissions. The growing international trade and seaborne transportation have been increasing the demand for energy-efficient and low emission fuels in the shipping industry. The International Maritime Organization's push for greener shipping has further boosted the adoption of LNG as a bunker fuel. Various ports across major trading hubs have started investing in LNG bunkering infrastructure to accommodate more LNG fueled vessels. With growing focus on sustainability, the global LNG bunkering market is expected to witness significant growth in the coming years.

 Market Dynamics:

The global LNG bunkering market is driven by the stringent environmental norms imposed by IMO on sulphur emissions from ships. The growing popularity of LNG as a cleaner alternative to conventional bunker fuels is a key driver. LNG produces less emissions and offers 40-50% higher efficiency than conventional fuels. Initiatives by governments and ports worldwide to set up LNG bunkering infrastructure is expected to boost market growth. For instance, countries like Japan, China, and Norway are investing heavily in LNG terminals and networks. However, high setup and transportation costs involved in LNG bunkering can hinder market revenues. Lack of standardized regulations is another challenge. Meanwhile, emerging opportunities lie in developing small and mid-scale liquefaction facilities near ports. Growing preference for dual-fuel engines and transition towards gas-powered ships will also support the market expansion.
