The vessels, which transported Iraqi and Emirati crude, had switched off their transponders to evade detection.<\/p>\n<p>One of the tankers is transporting Basrah Medium crude and is en route to Vietnam, the data indicated. This particular vessel had previously made two failed attempts to exit the strait, Reuters noted. Another tanker, which loaded Upper Zakum crude from <a href=\"https:\/\/app.indexbox.io\/companies\/profile\/632814\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ADNOC<\/a>, has already discharged its cargo in Fujairah\u2014the Emirati port city just outside the Strait of Hormuz that was the target of an Iranian attack earlier this month. The third tanker, also carrying Iraqi crude, is currently in transit with an unclear final destination, per the Reuters data.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Kpler reported earlier this month that 42 container ships remain stuck in the Strait of Hormuz, while nine have successfully exited. Two vessels have been seized by Iranian authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, an oil tanker that had passed through the Strait of Hormuz in mid-April arrived at a port in South Korea, delivering the first crude cargo to the country via the waterway since the war began. The Malta-flagged Odessa crude oil tanker arrived at Daesan on South Korea&#8217;s west coast, carrying 1 million barrels of crude.<\/p>\n<p>The Odessa is among a handful of tankers that have managed to exit the Middle Eastern oil chokepoint despite Iran&#8217;s blockade. Some of those that succeeded were permitted to do so by Iranian authorities in exchange for payments.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, more than 40 vessels bound for India\u2014nearly half of which carry energy products\u2014are still trapped in the Persian Gulf, unable to traverse the Strait of Hormuz. India is particularly vulnerable to the disruption in oil and gas flows from the Persian Gulf due to its heavy reliance on imported energy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-alpha-black mb-3\">Interactive table based on the Store Companies dataset for this report.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\tSort: Rank<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Company A-Z<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tSort: Headquarters A-Z<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t#<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tCompany<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tHeadquarters<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tFocus<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tScale<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tNote<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t1<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tSaudi Aramco<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDhahran, Saudi Arabia<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIntegrated state oil company<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tGlobal giant<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tWorld&#8217;s largest oil producer<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t2<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tChina National Petroleum Corp (CNPC)<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tBeijing, China<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tIntegrated state oil &amp;

It explains how demand across key channels and end-use segments shapes consumption patterns, while also mapping the role of input availability, production efficiency, and regulatory standards on supply.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">Beyond headline metrics, the study benchmarks prices, margins, and trade routes so you can see where value is created and how it moves between exporters and importers worldwide. The analysis is designed to support strategic planning, market entry, portfolio prioritization, and risk management in the global crude oil landscape.<\/p>\n<p>Quick navigation<br \/>\nKey findings<\/p>\n<p>  Global demand is shaped by both household and industrial usage, with trade flows linking cost-competitive producers to import-reliant markets.<br \/>\n  Pricing dynamics reflect unit values, freight costs, exchange rates, and regulatory shifts that affect sourcing decisions.<br \/>\n  Supply depends on input availability and production efficiency, creating distinct cost curves across regions.<br \/>\n  Market concentration varies by country, creating different competitive landscapes and entry barriers.<br \/>\n  The 2035 outlook highlights where capacity investment and demand growth are most aligned globally.<br \/>\nReport scope<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">The report combines market sizing with trade intelligence and price analytics. It covers both historical performance and the forward outlook to 2035, allowing you to compare cycles, structural shifts, and policy impacts across countries and regions.<\/p>\n<p>  Market size and growth in value and volume terms<br \/>\n  Consumption structure by end-use segments and regions<br \/>\n  Production capacity, output, and cost dynamics<br \/>\n  Global trade flows, exporters, importers, and balances<br \/>\n  Price benchmarks, unit values, and margin signals<br \/>\n  Competitive context and market entry conditions<br \/>\nProduct coverageCountry coverageCountry profiles and benchmarks<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">For the global report, country profiles provide a consistent view of market size, trade balance, prices, and per-capita indicators. The profiles highlight the largest consuming and producing markets and allow direct benchmarking across peers.<\/p>\n<p>Methodology<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">The analysis is built on a multi-source framework that combines official statistics, trade records, company disclosures, and expert validation.

This ensures that comparisons across time are aligned and actionable.<\/p>\n<p>Forecasts to 2035<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">The forecast horizon extends to 2035 and is based on a structured model that links crude oil demand and supply to macroeconomic indicators, trade patterns, and sector-specific drivers. The model captures both cyclical and structural factors and reflects known policy and technology shifts.<\/p>\n<p>  Historical baseline: 2012-2025<br \/>\n  Forecast horizon: 2026-2035<br \/>\n  Scenario-based sensitivity to income growth, substitution, and regulation<br \/>\n  Capacity and investment outlook for major producing countries<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">Each country projection is built from its own historical pattern and the regional context, allowing the report to show where growth is concentrated and where risks are elevated.<\/p>\n<p>Price analysis and trade dynamics<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">Prices are analyzed in detail, including export and import unit values, regional spreads, and changes in trade costs. The report highlights how seasonality, freight rates, exchange rates, and supply disruptions influence pricing and margins.<\/p>\n<p>  Price benchmarks by country and sub-region<br \/>\n  Export and import unit value trends<br \/>\n  Seasonality and calendar effects in trade flows<br \/>\n  Price outlook to 2035 under baseline assumptions<br \/>\nProfiles of market participants<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-5\">Key producers, exporters, and distributors are profiled with a focus on their operational scale, geographic footprint, product mix, and market positioning.
