This report informs about the regional regulatory requirements for octane and its enhancers. It analyses the actual octane level in gasoline and octane enhancers used such as metallic additives, oxygenates, hydrocarbons and anilines:

  • The report informs about the legislative requirements for octane and its enhancers
  • It provides the actual market data: octane number and enhancers used in gasoline sold regionally
  • The report covers Africa, North and South America, Asia and Oceania, Europe, Russia and CIS
  • It also analyzes certain case studies: Algeria, Argentina, Pakistan, high octane gasoline in Europe

The United States, Brazil and Canada are the first, third and fifth biggest gasoline consumers respectively. This makes the gasoline AKI 87 the most popular grade at the global level. It is followed by the grade RON 92 which is the most popular gasoline grade in China (the second biggest gasoline consumer) and Russia. RON 95 remains the most popular grade in Europe (European Union and the Balkan countries).

Ethanol is the main octane improver in some of the largest gasoline markets such as the United States and Canada, Brazil, China and India. This makes ethanol the most popular octane improver globally. It is followed by MTBE which is used in most of the CIS countries, Europe and Asia as well as South America and Africa. ETBE is the most popular octane improver in Japan which is the fourth biggest gasoline market and it has a similar share to MTBE in the European Union. Despite global activities to phase out metallic additives, we still note their usage in the less developed regions and countries such as Africa, the Caribbean and South America, Pakistan, Vietnam and Jordan. Anilines are not much discussed but remain used in Africa, Oman, Iraq, Singapore and some CIS countries.
