U.S. Bunker Fuel Market Summary

The U.S. bunker fuel market size was estimated at USD 22.80 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 30.51 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.0% from 2025 to 2030. The market is witnessing steady growth, driven by the expansion of global maritime trade and the demand for reliable marine fuel solutions.

Key drivers of the U.S. bunker fuel industry include container traffic growth at major ports, rising coastal and international trade activity, and increasing energy demand from maritime transport. In addition, the enforcement of IMO 2020 sulfur regulations and the U.S. environmental policies are pushing a shift toward cleaner marine fuels such as VLSFO, MGO, and LNG.

Technological progress is also vital, with innovations such as advanced fuel blending methods and digital fuel monitoring systems enhancing both efficiency and regulatory compliance. These technologies support improved fuel quality management, real-time fuel consumption tracking, and more efficient logistics resulting in lower emissions and operational cost savings. The shift toward low-sulfur and alternative marine fuels reflects a broader industry commitment to sustainable and environmentally responsible shipping practices. The U.S. bunker fuel market is experiencing a phase of dynamic transformation, driven by evolving regulatory landscapes, cleaner fuel demand, and operational innovations.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
