Distillate Fuel Oil Consumption by Country
Distillate fuel oil consumption by country measures distillate fuel oil product supplied per country, in million metric tons (Mmt) per year. Distillate fuel oil includes diesel fuels used in transport, rail and farm machinery, as well as fuel oils used primarily for heating and power generation. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 205 countries, with 204 reported 2024 values, and includes data from 2019 to 2024. The world total stood at 1,203.0 Mmt in 2024, up from 1,186.7 Mmt in 2023.
Reported 2024 leaders: China (181.392 Mmt), India (91.927 Mmt), Brazil (56.846 Mmt), Germany (45.628 Mmt), Russia (44.212 Mmt). Empty means no reported value, not zero. China accounted for about 15.1% of the reported world total in 2024 (181.392 Mmt). The top three together held about 27.4%, the top five about 34.9%, and the top ten about 48.5%. Consumption is spread across a broad group of large transport and heating markets rather than concentrated in a single country. China (181.392 Mmt) was the largest reported consumer in 2024, followed by India (91.927 Mmt), Brazil (56.846 Mmt), Germany (45.628 Mmt) and Russia (44.212 Mmt). France (37.985 Mmt), Japan (34.386 Mmt) and Iran (33.718 Mmt) came next. China recorded the largest reported increase, rising from 171.914 to 181.392 Mmt (+9.478 Mmt). India rose from 89.497 to 91.927 Mmt (+2.430 Mmt). The sharpest decline was France, falling from 39.302 to 37.985 Mmt (-1.317 Mmt). The world total rose from 1,186.7 to 1,203.0 Mmt. No cause is stated in the source for these movements. The reported world total was 1,371.5 Mmt in 2019 and 1,203.0 Mmt in 2024. China reported 153.105 Mmt in 2019 and 181.392 Mmt in 2024. No cause is stated in the source for the level change between years. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values represent annual distillate fuel oil consumption in million metric tons (Mmt). Where no value is available, the cell is left empty. A value of 0 indicates that the source reports zero. The sum of the countries listed on this page may not equal the reported world total because the country-level data presented here do not necessarily represent the complete set of values used for the world total. This page covers distillate fuel oil consumption only and does not include other petroleum products, which are reported separately in the source.
