Five Largest Companies Accounted for Half of Ukraine’s Diesel Fuel Imports in July

The five largest diesel fuel importers in Ukraine accounted for approximately half of all foreign supplies in July 2026, according to data from the A-95 Consulting Group.

A total of 134 companies imported diesel fuel during the month, but the top five accounted for approximately 280,000 tonnes out of the total volume of 562,000 tonnes. Thus, their combined share amounted to approximately 49.8% of the import market.

The OKKO Group was the largest importer, bringing in 73,100 tonnes of diesel fuel. Its supplies increased by 32% compared with July last year.

The state-owned Ukrnafta ranked second with 59,800 tonnes. The company demonstrated significantly stronger growth, increasing its imports 2.4-fold compared with July 2025.

UPG ranked third with a volume of 53,200 tonnes.

AT Energo Trade ranked fourth with 50,700 tonnes, while WOG placed fifth with 42,900 tonnes. These figures are presented in the A-95 infographic showing the top 10 diesel fuel importers for July.

Thus, OKKO and Ukrnafta alone accounted for almost 133,000 tonnes, or approximately 24% of total monthly imports.

At the same time, the highest growth rate among market participants was demonstrated not by a company in the top five, but by Zakhidna Palyvno-Enerhetychna Kompaniia (ZPEK). It increased its supplies 5.3-fold to 31,900 tonnes.

The ten largest importers also included companies with supply volumes ranging from approximately 20,000 to 35,000 tonnes.

The growing concentration of major suppliers is taking place against the backdrop of an overall increase in imports. In July, Ukraine imported 562,000 tonnes of diesel fuel, 5% more than a year earlier.

However, as A-95 Director Serhii Kuiun noted, even these volumes proved insufficient to meet the sharply increased demand. The market experienced a diesel fuel shortage due to a price-driven buying rush, increased activity among industrial and private buyers, and growing fuel consumption in the transport sector.

A-95 expects a more balanced situation in August as a result of increased supplies and lower global fuel prices.
