Kerosene Consumption by Country

Kerosene consumption by country measures kerosene product supplied per country, in million metric tons (Mmt) per year. Kerosene here covers heating, lighting and cooking grades and is reported separately from jet fuel. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 152 countries, with 151 reported 2024 values, and includes data from 2019 to 2024. The world total stood at 28.61 Mmt in 2024, down from 29.22 Mmt in 2023.

Reported 2024 leaders: Japan (9.142 Mmt), China (3.563 Mmt), United Kingdom (3.113 Mmt), South Korea (1.819 Mmt), Iraq (1.764 Mmt). Empty means no reported value, not zero.

Methodology

The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. Values represent annual kerosene 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 kerosene consumption only and does not include jet fuel, which is reported separately in the source.
