据离岸工程7月13日消息称，2017年，全球LNG燃料加注市场价值约为3.977亿美元，预计到2024年底将产生约11.89960亿美元的收入，2018年至2024年的年复合增长率约为59.4%。

锡安市场研究公司的一份报告称，无论是发达国家还是发展中国家，LNG燃料加注的增长速度都是最高的。

由于需要使用符合政府严格法规的清洁燃料以减少空气污染和保持可持续性，因此使用LNG的船舶数量不断增加，这是推动市场增长的主要动力。这一特殊因素正在推动LNG加注市场的发展。

LNG的体积一般比传统的可燃气体要小，这使得LNG更安全、更容易运输。这使得LNG在不同的企业中得到了广泛的使用，使得市场的增长变得极为有利。

此外，制定规则和标准正在推动LNG作为航运燃料的发展的结构性增长。这些规定是通过IMO实施的，用于防止船舶、游艇和船只的污染。

虽然这些电动机有其自身的先决条件和燃料要求，但某些地区同样被指定了更严格的排放限制。除空气质量测量外，IMO还引入了监测、筛选和大幅减少船舶温室气体排放的装置。

LNG燃料加注市场以船舶为基础，划分为集装箱船、油轮、轮渡及近海支援船、散货船及杂货船。

2017年，欧洲在全球LNG燃料市场上占据了可观的收入份额，预计在未来一段时间内，该地区将继续保持区域优势。该区域市场的增长归因于挪威地区在欧洲被认为是最大的燃料加注中心，因为它提供超过18000个LNG加注站。

预计亚太地区将为LNG加注提供重要机遇。该地区是制造业中心。正因为如此，这个地区的制造业和生产活动对能源有需求。

LNG Bunkering Market to Reach $12bn by 2024

The global LNG bunkering market was valued at approximately USD 397.70 million in 2017 and is expected to generate revenue of around USD 11899.60 million by the end of 2024, growing at a CAGR of around 59.4% between 2018 and 2024.

LNG bunkering is experiencing the highest growth rate in developed as well as developing countries, said a report by Zion Market Research.

Escalating number of vessels using LNG owing to the need for cleaner fuels in compliance with the stringent government regulations in order to reduce air pollution and maintain sustainability is the main driver that is boosting the growth of the market. This particular factor is driving the development of the LNG bunkering market.

LNG generally has lower volume than traditional flammable gases, and because of this attribute, it makes LNG safe and easier to transport. This has prompted widespread usage of LNG across different enterprises thus making it extremely favorable for the market to grow.

Moreover, formulating rules and standards are driving structural growth in the development of LNG as a shipping fuel. These regulations are implemented through the IMO's for the prevention of pollution from ships, yachts, and boats.

Although these motors have their own prerequisites and fuel requirements, certain regions have likewise been assigned with stricter emission limits. Other than air quality measure, the IMO is additionally introducing devices to monitor, screen, and substantially reduce GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions from ships.

Based on vessel, the LNG bunkering market is segmented into container ships, tankers, ferries & offshore support vessels, and bulk & general cargo vessels.

Europe held substantial revenue share of the global LNG bunkering market in 2017 and the region is anticipated to continue with its regional supremacy over the forecast time period. The growth of this regional market is attributed because Norway region in Europe is considered to be the biggest bunking center, as it offers more than 18,000 LNG bunk stations

Asia Pacific region is predicted to provide significant opportunities for LNG bunkering. The region is a manufacturing hub. Because of this, the manufacturing and production activities in this region have a demand for energy.
