Global Synthetic Fuels Market Size More Than Triples at Robust CAGR of 17.93% to Surpass USD 14.6 Billion by 2030
Global Synthetic Fuels Market is flourishing because of the growing shift from fossil fuels to alternative fuels and favorable government policies toward decarbonization.
Report Ocean, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated the Global Synthetic Fuels Market size at USD 4.62 billion in 2023. During the forecast period between 2024 and 2030, Report Ocean expects the Global Synthetic Fuels Market size to boom at a robust CAGR of 17.93% reaching a value of USD 14.66 billion by 2030. Positive government policies and plans for decarbonization and the net zero emissions objective, together with the growing use of synthetic fuels in a variety of industries, such as transportation and automotive, are significant growth factors for the Global Synthetic Fuels Market. Moreover, the depletion of fossil fuel resources and their escalating prices are expected to spur the demand for synthetic fuels. It, in turn, is projected to propel the expansion of the Global Synthetic Fuels Market during the period in analysis.
Opportunity: Increasing public-private investments in synthetic fuels
The rising concerns surrounding the environment and carbon emissions, along with the Net Zero objective, are propelling the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels, such as synthetic fuels or hydrogen fuels. As a result, countries as well as private players are significantly investing in establishing commercial manufacturing plants to accelerate synthetic fuel adoption across industries. For instance, Aramco, a petroleum refinery company based in Saudi Arabia, formed a partnership with ENOWA, an electricity utility company in Saudi Arabia, to establish a synthetic electro-fuel (e-fuel) demonstration facility.
Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on Global Synthetic Fuels Market
The escalating geopolitical tensions offer growth opportunities to the Global Synthetic Fuels Market. For instance, Russia is one of the biggest oil and gas exporters. However, Russia's invasion of Ukraine led to many countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, imposing sanctions against the Russian Federation. These sanctions led to disruptions in the oil supply, leading to increased oil prices worldwide. As a result, the focus and demand for alternative fuels, including synthetic fuels has spiked, leading to the growth of the Global Synthetic Fuels Market. The countries looking to reduce their dependence on Russian oil supply boosted their investments in the R&D and production of synthetic fuels. It, in turn, is anticipated to drive the Global Synthetic Fuels Market during the forecast period.
