The environmental concerns associated with the use of fuel are causing a paradigm shift toward marine fuel additives. The effective marine fuel additives are being increasingly utilized owing to their novel attributes, including improved reliability, easy maintenance, and longevity. Moreover, marine fuel additives will have a larger role to play in the coming years, given the complications presented by heavy fuel oil (HFO) and severely hydro-treated fuel that produces ultra-low Sulphur diesel.
The most significant factor that is expected to be a demand driver for marine fuel additives is their capability to bring fuel efficiency in the ships. The reduced emission of harmful gases with the addition of these marine fuel additives is expected to foster the growth of the marine fuel additives market.
Furthermore, with the growing regulations and stringency with respect to the reduction of sulfur content, is expected to boost the marine fuel additives market as these products would help the shipping industry to comply with the regulations. Market players have been investing time and resources for developing improved marine fuel additives.
