OIL PRODUCTS
Kpler expects global refined product demand growth to rise by 0.88m b/d on the year in 2025, continuing the slowing trend seen since 2021.
- LPG, gasoline, and jet fuel are expected to lead demand increases, distributed more evenly as post-Covif transport fuel demand recovery abates.
- China remains central to this outlook, as its demand growth significantly decelerates, Kpler said.
- For gasoline, steady growth in the car fleet with support gasoline demand but rising EV adoption will temper gains as gasoline demand is set to peak in 2027.
- US gasoline demand is projected to decline moderately due to stagnant traffic growth, increasing EV penetration, and more efficient ICE vehicles.
- For diesel. A declining diesel car fleet will weigh on demand, though easing interest rates are expected to support a recovery in its industrial sector.
- China’s diesel demand growth is seen decelerating due to LNG truck adoption and mounting pressure on its investment-led economic model.
