Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG) Consumption by Country
Liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) consumption by country measures LPG product supplied for each country, in million metric tons (Mmt) per year. LPG consists primarily of propane, normal butane and isobutane, which can be liquefied under pressure for storage and transport. LPG is widely used for cooking, heating, transport and petrochemical applications. The statistics are based on the U.S. Energy Information Administration's (EIA) International Energy Statistics. The table covers 197 countries, with 196 reported 2024 values, and includes data from 2019 to 2024. The world total stood at 304.2 Mmt in 2024, up from 291.8 Mmt in 2023.
Reported 2024 leaders: China (78.684 Mmt), India (31.102 Mmt), Russia (28.312 Mmt), Saudi Arabia (12.664 Mmt), Japan (11.556 Mmt). Empty means no reported value, not zero. China accounted for about 25.9% of the reported world total in 2024 (78.684 Mmt). The top three together held about 45.4%, the top five about 53.4%, and the top ten about 67.8%. More than half of reported consumption was concentrated in the five largest markets. China (78.684 Mmt) was the largest reported consumer in 2024, followed by India (31.102 Mmt), Russia (28.312 Mmt), Saudi Arabia (12.664 Mmt) and Japan (11.556 Mmt). South Korea (11.072 Mmt), Mexico (9.744 Mmt) and Indonesia (8.928 Mmt) came next. China recorded the largest reported increase, rising from 74.018 to 78.684 Mmt (+4.666 Mmt). India rose from 29.050 to 31.102 Mmt (+2.052 Mmt). The sharpest reported decline was Japan, falling from 12.019 to 11.556 Mmt (-0.463 Mmt). The world total rose from 291.8 to 304.2 Mmt. No cause is stated in the source for these movements. The reported world total was 321.7 Mmt in 2019 and 304.2 Mmt in 2024. China reported 60.664 Mmt in 2019 and 78.684 Mmt in 2024, an increase of 18.020 Mmt. 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 liquefied petroleum gases 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 liquefied petroleum gases consumption only and does not include other petroleum products, which are reported separately in the source.
