The Strait of Malacca is a sea route that borders the territories of Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand.

This strait connects the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, and serves as the most valuable maritime trade route globally.

According to data collected by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), out of the total value of global oil and non-oil trade via sea routes, approximately 21.6% passes through the Strait of Malacca.

This figure far surpasses that of the Strait of Hormuz, which accounts for only 7.9% of the total maritime trade.

"The Strait of Hormuz transports a smaller portion of total maritime trade, but it remains a major route for global energy flows," CSIS stated in its report "The Strait of Hormuz in 8 Charts" (April 2026).

According to a report by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), in 2023, the main commodities shipped through the Strait of Malacca were crude oil, propane, cars, and dry bulk goods such as coal, wheat, corn, rice, sugar, salt, soybeans, fertilizers, mineral ores, and so on.

Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz, which has been turbulent since February 2026 due to the conflict between the United States and Iran, primarily serves as a shipping route for crude oil, oil products, propane, and natural gas.
