Which countries import the most crude oil in 2026, and where does it come from?
By value, the United States leads TradeInt's tracked table at US$147.57 billion in H1 2026, followed by India at US$16.14 billion and Indonesia at US$5.90 billion. The striking part is how little their sources overlap: the US leans on Mexico and Canada, India on Iraq and Russia, and Indonesia on Nigeria and Angola.
And the rise in value was about price, not volume. India's crude bill jumped 56.5% even as the tonnage it bought barely changed, as tight Gulf supply pushed prices up.
