Tanker Shipping Market
The Tanker Shipping Market was valued at US$ 3.34 Billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% from 2024 to 2030, reaching approximately US$ 5.02 Billion by 2030. Growth is supported by rising global trade of crude oil, refined petroleum products, chemicals, and liquefied gases, along with increasing demand for cost-efficient bulk fluid transportation.
Market Overview
Tanker shipping plays a critical role in global trade by enabling the transportation of bulk liquids such as crude oil, refined petroleum products, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), chemicals, and specialty fluids. These shipments are primarily conducted via sea routes using large-scale vessels including VLCCs, ULCCs, Suezmax, and Medium Range tankers.
As globalization accelerates and emerging economies increase energy consumption, tanker shipping continues to be the most economical and scalable solution for long-distance liquid transport. Rising commodity trade volumes, expanding offshore production, and improvements in shipbuilding technologies are collectively transforming the tanker shipping ecosystem.
