The Reference Case outlook for oil demand levels and growth rates in this sector<br />

are shown in Tables 2.10 and 2.11. As in the past, China is key to future growth, with<br />

demand increasing by close to 1 mboe/d over the period 2008–2035, which represents<br />

82% of the global increase.<br />

Expansion in world trade inevitably means increasing shipping activity, but at the<br />

same time, oil use efficiency improvements in the marine bunkers sector will limit<br />

the scope for oil demand growth. This will be compounded by a gradual increase in<br />

the size of ships and, of course, the turnover of the capital stock as scrapped ships are<br />

replaced by newer more efficient ones (regulatory issues in this sector are looked at in<br />

detail in <strong>Section</strong> Two). Tables 2.12 and 2.13 show that the oil demand increase in marine<br />

bunkers is more than 4 mboe/d over the period 2008–2035. The biggest increase<br />

is in China and Southeast Asia, accounting for 78% of demand growth.<br />
