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 />
Marine bunkers 47<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 />
