Global emulsified fuel market is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 134.97% in the upcoming period as the scope and its applications are rising enormously across the globe. Emulsified fuel is composed of water and a combustible liquid, either a fuel or oil. Emulsion fuels may be an ordinary emulsion or micro emulsion. Both use surfactants and can be either oil-in-water, or bicontinuous, or water-in-oil.
The factors that are playing a major role in the growth of the market are the increasing pollution levels, enhances fuel efficacy, fuel cost may be reduced, participation towards environmental conservation, and the production of emulsified fuel with high water content. However, the presence of alternative like usage of LNG as shipping fuel may restrain overall market growth in the years to come. Emulsified fuel market is segmented based on product type, application, and region.
Kerosene, heavy oil, light oil, and other product types could be explored in emulsified fuel market in the forecast period. The heavy oil sector accounted for the substantial market share of emulsified fuel and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come. In addition, the kerosene sector is estimated to grow at the fastest pace in the years to come.
The market could be categorized based on applications like industrial, marine, and others could be explored in the forecast period. The marine sector accounted for the substantial market share of emulsified fuel and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come. The reason behind the overall market growth could be the strict laws against emission from the marine vessels.
Globally, EMEA accounted for the substantial share of emulsified fuel industry and is estimated to lead the overall market in the years to come.
