Based on our research output, there has been a negative impact on the market growth during and post-COVID-19 era. The increasing naval expenditure is notably driving the bunker oil market growth, although factors such as fluctuations in oil and gas prices may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on the bunker oil industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Bunker Oil Market Driver
The increasing naval expenditure is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global bunker oil market. In the current scenario, the external threats that any country faces pertain to security issues. These external threats may be another country, a terrorist organization, or an individual. To combat this, governments in various countries are increasing their spending to raise the defense capacities of their countries. As a crucial part of the armed forces, overall naval spending has also witnessed a significant increase. Moreover, global military expenditure is likely to increase during the forecast period. In 2019, The US topped the list of the largest defense spending nations globally, followed by China, Saudi Arabia, India, and Russia. In addition, certain countries such as Indonesia and South Korea have also increased their military spending substantially over the past few years. However, most naval ships perform patrolling operations around the globe apart from their littoral zones; they also conduct joint naval exercises as well as rescue operations in times of natural calamities. The increase in naval spending, as well as naval operational activities, will boost the growth of the global bunker oil market.
Key Bunker Oil Market Trend
The growing LNG market will fuel the global bunker oil market growth. The demand for LNG as a marine fuel is increasing significantly. LNG is used to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG), as it is odorless, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. It also evaporates quickly when exposed to air, leaving no residue behind. Though oil-based fuels serve as the main fuel type for ocean-going vessels, LNG is also gradually gaining importance. The number of vessels that are using LNG as fuel is increasing rapidly, which is spurred by the many LNG projects that are under execution and in the planning stage. The main reason for LNG becoming an important alternative fuel is that it complies with the current emission norms, as its usage can reduce SOx, nitrogen oxide (NOx), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions considerably. Thus, the increase in the use of LNG will be crucial for the growth of the global bunker oil market.
Key Bunker Oil Market Challenge
The fluctuations in oil and gas prices are a major challenge for the global bunker oil market growth. The price of bunker oil is directly linked to global crude oil prices, and its success or failure depends on the pricing of this commodity. The oil and gas industry has witnessed a prolonged period of low crude oil prices since July 2014. The prices declined continuously owing to the supply-demand imbalance. Upstream oil and gas companies experienced a phase of reduced revenues, which directly impacted their cash flows. As per the data published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2021, crude oil import prices witnessed fluctuations globally. However, with global crude oil prices gradually stabilizing, the cost of bunker oil is also expected to increase, thereby affecting the operating cost of vendors. Also, the new routes chosen for transportation during the phase of low commodity prices may need to be changed, as they might not be feasible with the current or future pricing of bunker fuel. Such fluctuations in global crude oil prices can provide a temporary increase in the profit margins but pose a challenge for the global bunker oil market during the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact and Recovery Analysis
In 2020, China and India were the most affected countries in the region by the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, many APAC countries were hit by the second wave of the outbreak during the Q1 and Q2 of 2021. Governments in the region imposed nationwide lockdowns in 2020, which resulted in the suspension of business activities and restricted trade activities. This led to market disruptions in 2020. However, in Q4 2020, many countries across APAC lifted restrictions on various business activities. Vendors were then able to resume their routine operations by adhering to COVID-19 guidelines that mandated social distancing measures and restrictions on the entry of non-essential visitors at their facilities. Such initiatives are expected to help vendors remain operational and allow the regional market to recover slowly and grow during the forecast period.
