Growing global energy demand to drive growth of the Crude Transportation Market


The global Crude Transportation Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 21.58 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 6.0% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.

Market Overview:

The crude transportation market comprises of transporting crude oil from one place to another through various modes such as pipeline, rail, and tankers. Crude oil is a vital source of energy and feedstock for many key industries such as petrochemicals, power generation, automotive etc. Growing global energy demand mainly from emerging economies such as India, China are prompting companies to explore new oilfields and ramp up production thereby driving the need for efficient crude transportation systems. Pipelines remain the most preferred and economic mode for long distance crude transportation while rail and tankers are utilized for short and medium distance movement.

Market key trends:

The key trend in the crude transportation market is growing investments towards development of new crude oil pipelines. Major companies are expanding their pipeline network to accommodate rising shale oil production in the US and connect new oilfields. For instance, Enbridge Inc., one of the largest pipeline operators, is investing over US$ 10 billion through 2023 to expand its Mainline network that transports western Canadian and US crude to markets. Growing crude trade between countries is also propelling the usage of crude oil tankers. Further, sustainable biofuels are emerging as an alternative to reduce dependency on petroleum-based fuels and this may moderately impact the crude transportation demand over the long run.
