Brazilian liquid fuel demand will keep growing in 2025. EPE forecasts an increment of 2.0%, or 3.1 billion liters, for 2025, and 2.3%, or 3.7 billion liters, for 2026.

Otto cycle fuels consumption has been experiencing continuous growth in recent years. The prospects for the 2025/26 sugarcane harvest are favorable, and the consistent growth of corn ethanol supports the supply of this biofuel. It is estimated that the hydrous ethanol demand will continue performing at a high level.
In the aviation sector, moderate but steady growth is expected, mostly due to operational and energy efficiency gains.
LPG consumption continues to grow, partly encouraged by lower prices compared to the previous year and by social programs transfers.
