What part of merchandise imports a country spends on oil, gas and coal.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country — the year is shown in the row. The table spans 1978 to 2025.
Top-20 · % of merchandise imports
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

The share of fuel in merchandise imports — the reverse side of fuel dependence. The indicator measures vulnerability to rising energy prices: a country spending a quarter of its imports on fuel loses as much when prices double as an exporter does when they fall. The series reacts visibly to oil shocks, and it shows that in the 1970s the share of fuel in the imports of developed countries rose several times over.
Important: The share is of value, not of volume, so it rises when fuel becomes more expensive even with no change in physical deliveries. The aggregate is weighted by merchandise imports — the denominator of the indicator.
What part of merchandise exports is oil, gas, coal and refined products.
Trade 1962–2025 Food imports (% of merchandise imports)What part of merchandise imports a country spends on food — a measure of food dependence.
Trade 1960–2025 Merchandise importsImports of goods only, without services — WTO data.
Emissions 1750–2024 CO2 emissions from oilHow much carbon dioxide comes from burning petroleum products — mostly in transport.
