Diesel and gasoline imports totaled 1.91 million tons valued at 12.73 billion dirhams during the third quarter of 2025, according to Competition Council reporting. Compared to Q3 2024, imported volumes increased 12.4% from 1.7 million tons, while value registered a slight 1.3% decline from 12.9 billion dirhams.
Diesel continued dominating these flows, representing 88% of imported volumes and 87% of their value. Sector import analysis by fuel type reveals rising diesel volumes in the national market. Q3 2025 volumes reached 1.68 million tons against 1.5 million tons one year earlier, representing 12% growth. However, diesel import values declined 1.5%, dropping from 11.29 billion dirhams to 11.12 billion dirhams.
Gasoline imports increased by 31,000 tons, representing 16.2% growth compared to Q3 2024. However, associated value showed a slight 0.6% decrease, falling from 1.61 billion dirhams to 1.6 billion dirhams during the period.
Nine distribution companies monitored through the reporting framework concentrate approximately 82% of imports by both volume and value. These nine operators imported 1.56 million tons during the period against 1.43 million tons one year earlier, representing 9.1% progression. Their import values totaled 10.38 billion dirhams against 10.89 billion dirhams in Q3 2024, registering a 4.7% decrease corresponding to 0.51 billion dirhams.
Tax revenues from diesel and gasoline imports reached 7.83 billion dirhams in Q3 2025, an 8.6% increase from the 7.21 billion dirhams recorded one year earlier. This progression stems primarily from increased imported volumes, with quantity growth compensating for declining import values and strengthening revenues from the Internal Consumption Tax, which generated 5.95 billion dirhams during the period—approximately 76% of total tax revenues from fuel imports.
Import Value-Added Tax also progressed, reaching 1.88 billion dirhams, approximately 1.1% higher than Q3 2024’s 1.86 billion dirhams, representing nearly 24% of total tax revenues from these petroleum products.
