The East African petroleum product industry, encompassing Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Rest of East Africa, presents a dynamic and expanding market. Driven by robust economic growth, increasing urbanization, and rising vehicle ownership across the region, the industry is projected to experience a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 3.50% from 2025 to 2033. Significant demand is observed across all petroleum product segments—light distillates (gasoline and naphtha), middle distillates (diesel and kerosene), and heavy distillates (fuel oil and bitumen). Growth is fueled by infrastructure development projects, industrial expansion, and a burgeoning agricultural sector requiring energy for mechanization and processing. However, the industry faces challenges, including price volatility tied to global crude oil prices, infrastructural limitations hindering efficient distribution, and environmental concerns related to emissions. To mitigate these restraints, investments in refining capacity, pipeline infrastructure, and cleaner fuel technologies are crucial. The presence of established international players like TotalEnergies SE, Shell PLC, and Exxon Mobil Corporation, alongside regional operators such as KenolKobil Ltd and National Oil Ethiopia PLC, indicates a competitive yet developing market landscape. This competition, alongside government policies promoting energy security and diversification, will shape the future of the East African petroleum product sector. The market segmentation reveals varying growth rates across different countries within East Africa. While precise figures for each country's market share are unavailable, Kenya and Tanzania are likely to dominate due to their larger economies and higher vehicle density. Uganda and Mozambique also show promising growth potential, fueled by infrastructure development initiatives and increasing industrialization. The "Rest of East Africa" segment, encompassing smaller nations, likely contributes a smaller portion but still presents opportunities for specialized players catering to local demands. The industry is expected to see a steady increase in the demand for cleaner fuels and a growing interest in renewable energy sources, influencing the future trajectory of the market. This shift creates opportunities for investment in renewable energy infrastructure alongside sustainable petroleum product refining and distribution. Recent developments include: In September 2021, Tullow Oil and its partners in the Turkana oil project in Kenya announced that they have significantly increased their resource and production estimates following a reassessment of the delayed Kenyan oil development project. The oil project, located in the South Lokichar basin in northern Kenya, will now have a production plateau of 120,000 barrels/day (b/d)., In December 2020, Ethiopia's Ministry of Mines and Petroleum announced that it has opened 22 mining and 5 petroleum sites as well as 3 service areas for investors in the country. Identified petroleum potential sites are in Ogaden, Gambella, South Omo, and Rift Valley.. Notable trends are: Middle Distillates to Dominate the Market.

The East African downstream oil and gas industry, encompassing refineries, petrochemical plants, and distribution networks across Mozambique, South Sudan, Kenya, and the rest of the region, presents a dynamic and expanding market. Driven by increasing energy demand fueled by population growth, urbanization, and industrialization, the market is projected to experience robust growth, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) exceeding 2.32% from 2025 to 2033. Key players such as China National Petroleum Corporation, Eni SpA, and Royal Dutch Shell PLC are actively investing in infrastructure development and expansion, reflecting the significant potential of the sector. However, challenges remain, including infrastructure limitations in some areas, geopolitical instability in certain regions, and fluctuating global oil prices which can impact investment decisions and profitability. The segment breakdown shows varied growth trajectories across countries; Kenya and Mozambique, due to their relatively stable political climate and expanding economies, likely demonstrate higher growth rates compared to South Sudan which faces ongoing challenges. The industry's future hinges on sustained economic growth, government policies promoting investment, and successful mitigation of geopolitical and infrastructural risks. Further analysis suggests that the market's size in 2025 is estimated to be around $10 billion based on similar developing economies and industry reports. This value is projected to grow steadily, reflecting the CAGR of 2.32% and market forces. The segmentation data indicates that refineries and petrochemical plants will likely drive much of the market growth, with the contribution from each segment varying by country. While challenges such as volatile oil prices and infrastructure limitations exist, the long-term outlook for the East African downstream oil and gas industry remains positive. Strategic investments in infrastructure modernization, regional cooperation, and diversification of energy sources will be crucial to unlocking the region's full potential and ensuring sustainable growth in the sector. Recent developments include: In December 2022, Savannah Energy declared the acquisition of producing oil fields in South Sudan from Malaysian state oil and gas company Petronas. The investment is valued at USD 1.25 billion. The other partners include the international energy company, the China National Petroleum Corporation, India's flagship energy major, the Oil and Natural Gas Corporation, and South Sudan's national oil and gas company, Nilepet.. Notable trends are: Refinery Capacity to Witness growth.

Domestic consumption of petroleum fuels in Kenya dropped to 5.13 million metric tons in 2022. The sales value decreased from 5.19 million metric tons in the previous year. This was the lowest level since the Covid-19 pandemic and is mostly due to high pump costs, which decreased demand.
