Petroleum products consumption in Kenya up 8.4pc
Total domestic demand increased to 6.33 million cubic metres during the period, reflecting higher fuel consumption across key sectors of the economy.
Nairobi, Kenya - LPG consumption in Kenya increased by 14.72 percent in 2025, according to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) Energy & Petroleum Statistics Report for the year ended June 30, 2026. The demand for LPG rose to 475,943 metric tonnes in 2025, up from 414,861 metric tonnes in 2024. This growth in consumption, attributed to several factors, brought per capita LPG consumption to 8.9 kilograms in 2025, compared to 7.9 kilograms in 2024.
The EPRA report highlights the zero-rating of LPG as a key driver of the increase, as it improved affordability and encouraged wider adoption among households and institutions. Additionally, the expansion of importation, storage, and distribution infrastructure, along with improved product availability, have made LPG more accessible to consumers.
The government expects LPG demand to continue growing as it implements the National LPG Growth Strategy, which aims to accelerate adoption in households and institutions.
