01 Industry overview

The gas oil industry at a glance

Global gas oil demand is forecast at 29.0 million barrels per day in 2026, while supply disruptions and low inventories are keeping diesel markets tight and prices elevated.

Market size
Global gasoil and diesel demand reached 28.857 million barrels per day in 2025 and is forecast to rise to 29.034 million barrels per day in 2026. This equates to roughly 10.5 billion barrels annually at the 2026 forecast rate.[3]
Forecast & CAGR
The IEA forecasts gasoil and diesel demand to increase from 28.857 million barrels per day in 2025 to 29.034 million barrels per day in 2026, representing 0.6% year-on-year growth. The longer-term outlook is more restrained as electrification and fuel substitution begin to reduce transport-fuel demand growth.[3]
Market share & regions
In September 2026, combined net gasoil and diesel exports from the Middle East and Russia fell to 820,000 barrels per day, more than 60% below the prior year. The United States and China together increased exports by 610,000 barrels per day year on year, but this did not fully offset the losses.[3]
Segmentation
Gas oil is primarily segmented into road diesel, non-road and industrial diesel, heating oil, marine gasoil and aviation-related middle distillates. In the United States, transportation accounted for 2.94 million barrels per day of diesel consumption in 2025, equal to about 75% of total distillate consumption; products also include ultra-low-sulfur diesel, biodiesel and renewable diesel.[26]
Key players & concentration
The market is supplied by integrated oil companies, independent refiners and national oil companies, with trade concentrated among major refining and exporting regions. In the first nine months of 2026, global seaborne gasoil and diesel exports averaged 4.7 million barrels per day, down 10% year on year, while Middle Eastern and Russian exports declined sharply.[3]
Pricing
The EIA forecasts the U.S. retail diesel price to average $5.19 per gallon in 2026, compared with $3.66 per gallon in 2025, before easing to $4.49 per gallon in 2027. In September 2026, the monthly average reached $6.29 per gallon as crude prices and distillate crack spreads rose.[26]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Demand is supported by freight, construction, agriculture, industrial activity and seasonal heating, but faces structural pressure from vehicle electrification, efficiency improvements and alternative fuels. In 2026, reduced refinery output, Middle East and Russian supply losses, maintenance and low inventories tightened the market; OECD gasoil stocks fell to 565 million barrels in July, 5% below pre-conflict levels.[3]
Consumer behavior & competition
Diesel consumption is concentrated among commercial fleets, freight operators, agriculture, construction, public transport and industrial users rather than private passenger vehicles. In the United States, transportation diesel consumption represented about 14% of total petroleum consumption in 2025, while refiners compete through supply reliability, product specifications, logistics and wholesale margins.[26]
Regulation
U.S. on-road diesel is required to meet the ultra-low-sulfur standard of no more than 15 parts per million sulfur. EPA standards and advanced exhaust controls can reduce particulate emissions by up to 90% and nitrogen-oxide emissions by 25% to 50% in applicable diesel engines.[26]
Latest news
The IEA’s October 2026 assessment reported that global gasoil exports averaged 4.7 million barrels per day in the first nine months of 2026, while the market balance tightened by about 100,000 barrels per day in the third quarter. The agency expects higher refinery output to return the market to surplus in the first quarter of 2027, although the accumulated 2026 deficit is expected to keep conditions tight.[3]
