Gasoline Global Market Report 2026

Gasoline is a fuel sourced from crude oil and various petroleum liquids, predominantly employed in machines featuring internal combustion engines.

The primary categories of gasoline comprise regular gasoline and special gasoline. Regular gasoline denotes a petroleum product with an octane rating of 87, derived from crude oil and possessing flammable properties. Its main uses encompass transportation, small aircraft, electricity generators, recreational vehicles, and various applications within the realms of transportation, power generation, and other related sectors.

Tariffs have influenced the gasoline market by affecting the cost of imported crude oil, fuel additives, and refining inputs used in gasoline production. Higher duties have increased refining and distribution costs, particularly in regions dependent on imported crude such as Asia Pacific. Transportation and power generation applications experience margin pressure due to fluctuating fuel prices. On the positive side, tariffs are supporting domestic refining capacity, local fuel blending, and improved energy security in key consuming markets.

The rise in geopolitical tensions is anticipated to drive the growth of the gasoline market in the future. Geopolitical tensions refer to political conflicts, rivalries, or disputes between nations or regions, often concerning issues like territory, resources, power, or ideology. These rising tensions can disrupt oil supply, create market uncertainty, and lead to a risk premium, as well as affect refinery operations, alter regional supply routes, influence currency fluctuations, and impact demand. Additionally, such tensions may result in strategic releases or withholdings from petroleum reserves. For instance, in August 2024, the World Economic Forum, a Switzerland-based international organization, reported that 83% of respondents view geopolitical tensions as the primary risk to global economic growth in the coming year, surpassing concerns about high inflation and monetary tightening, which were cited by 73%. Furthermore, looking ahead to the next decade, 86% of participants identified increasing geopolitical fragmentation and protectionism as the most significant long-term threat. Thus, the escalation of geopolitical tensions is contributing to the growth of the gasoline market.
