It has undergone a variety of training, including hazardous materials handling and firefighting, and emergency response.
The global chemical tanker market is projected to reach approximately US$45.3 billion by 2035, from a market value of approximately US$32.61 billion in 2022. The global chemical tanker market is growing at a CAGR of around 4.58% during 2023-2035.
Question: What are the factors driving the growth of the global chemical tanker market?
The factors driving the growth of the global chemical tanker market are: Growing Chemical Industry- The expansion of the chemical industry is estimated to drive the growth of the chemical tanker market. Companies in the chemical industry expect chemical tankers to transport and transship chemical compounds from one location to another. This factor creates demand for chemical tankers. The U.S. chemical industry will remain a net exporter in 2021, supporting all U.S. commodity exports, according to the American Chemistry Council. By 2025, net chemical exports to the United States should reach approximately US$40.5 billion and chemical industry shipments should reach approximately US$668 billion. U.S. chemical exports could rise significantly as major economies reopen and import demand from partner countries increases. Hence, the growth of the chemical industry has driven the chemical tanker market.
Technological advances – Technological advances are shaping the chemical tanker market. Many companies invest in chemical tanker innovation and development to provide users with ease of use, accessibility, comfort and affordability. For example, Sovcomflot’s Russia-based subsidiary SCF launched its first LNG-powered HIS MR chemical tanker in March 2021. The MR chemical tanker is designed to transport petroleum products and gas condensate. The ship’s propulsion system will run on environmentally friendly LNG, significantly reducing emissions to the atmosphere. The tanker weighs about 50,000 tons, is over 180 meters long, over 32 meters wide and has a draft of minus 13.4 meters. Ice Class 1B vessels can navigate safely all year round, even in the ice conditions of the Baltic Sea.
Other factors contributing to market growth are:
international trade growth
Growing demand for vegetable oil
Increasing economic transportation costs and chemical production capacity in emerging economies
Shale gas production increase
Growing demand for specialty chemicals

Factors limiting market growth include:
As environmental regulations become more stringent, it is becoming more difficult and costly for companies to comply with environmental regulations. This has reduced the demand for chemical tankers, especially those that are older and do not meet the latest
environmental standards.
Fluctuations in crude oil prices have a major impact on the global chemical tanker market. Rising oil prices could increase
transportation costs and reduce demand for chemical tankers. Safety is a major concern in the chemical tanker industry, especially when it comes to transporting hazardous chemicals. Incidents and accidents can have serious consequences and could lead to a decrease in demand for chemical tankers.
Question: What are the major classifications of the global chemical tanker market?
The global chemical tanker market can be segmented by product, tank type, material, size and region. These segments branch further as follows:
by product
organic chemicals
Inorganic chemicals
vegetable oil
others
Additive
Lubricant
molasses
Based on product, the organic chemicals segment will hold a 60% share of the global market in 2023. This segment is gaining momentum due to potential industrial applications. Organic chemical manufacturing began with the shale gas boom, with ethylene being the primary feedstock.
