The European Union imported energy products worth €336.7 billion in 2025, representing a total weight of 723.3 million tonnes, according to Eurostat.

When compared with the previous year, imports of energy products decreased by 11.1 per cent in total value and 0.6 per cent in net mass.

The data reveals that these imports have been consistently decreasing in both value and volume since 2022.

The total value of these products has dropped by 51.4 per cent from a high of €693.4 billion, while the total import volume decreased by 14.9 per cent from 849.6 million tonnes over that period.

For petroleum specifically, a decline was reported in both the value of imported petroleum oils, which fell by 17.8 per cent, and the volume of imports, which dropped by 6.1 per cent compared with 2024.

On the other hand, imported liquefied gas recorded a strong increase of 35.2 per cent in value and 24.4 per cent in volume.

In terms of natural gas in the gaseous state, the import value increased by 3.4 per cent even as the actual volume was down by 5.3 per cent.

The United States and Norway remain key energy suppliers for the bloc according to the geographical breakdown of the figures.

In 2025, the largest partners for EU imports of petroleum oils were the United States at 15.1 per cent, Norway at 14.4 per cent, and Kazakhstan at 12.7 per cent.

The United States was also the top liquefied natural gas supplier, providing more than half of the total amount at 56.0 per cent, ahead of Russia at 13.9 per cent and Qatar at 8.9 per cent.

Norway acted as the major partner for natural gas in the gaseous state, as imports from the country reached 52.1 per cent of the total.

Algeria followed as the next largest provider of gaseous gas with 17.4 per cent, while Russia accounted for 10.4 per cent of those imports.

These figures highlight a significant shift in energy sourcing as the European Union continues to adjust its trade relationships following the disruptions of recent years.

The steady decline in volume reflects broader efforts across member states to manage energy consumption and transition toward different resource mixes.
