Market Overview
Kerosene is a middle-distillate petroleum product refined from crude oil. Its primary use globally is as aviation fuel (Jet A-1), which accounts for approximately 80% of kerosene demand. It is also used for domestic heating (particularly in Japan, the UK, and parts of Africa) and as a cooking and lighting fuel in developing countries. The Singapore Platts Jet Kerosene benchmark is the key pricing reference for Asia-Pacific markets.
Key Market Factors
- Global air travel demand and airline capacity growth
- Crude oil prices (Brent and Dubai as feedstock)
- Refinery yields and middle-distillate inventory levels
- Seasonal heating demand in Japan, UK, and East Africa
- Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) mandates affecting supply

What is the difference between kerosene and jet fuel?
Kerosene and jet fuel (Jet A-1) are essentially the same product — a middle-distillate petroleum product. Jet A-1 is the aviation-grade specification with strict quality controls for freezing point, flash point, and contaminant levels. Household kerosene (also called paraffin in the UK) is the same base product used for heating and lighting.
Why is kerosene expensive?
Kerosene prices are driven by crude oil costs (it's a refined petroleum distillate), global aviation demand (jet fuel accounts for ~80% of kerosene consumption), refinery margins, and seasonal heating demand in markets like Japan and the UK.
