據世界石油2020年4月17日東京報道，日本第2大煉油企業日本出光興產株式會社董事長Takashi Tsukioka在新聞發布會上表示，由于抑制疫情蔓延的各種措施減少了航空煤油和汽油的使用量，該公司預計日本今年4 - 6月第二季度成品油需求量將比去年同期下降大約20%。

Tsukioka在新聞發布會上說：“日本4 - 6月的石油產品總需求量預計將下降大約20%，降幅大于我們此前估計的大約14%，其中航空煤油的需求量降幅將超過50%。”

Tsukioka說，全球4月至6月第二季度燃料需求量料將下滑差不多15%-20%，此前使14.37多萬人死亡的疫情已導致多數航空旅行暫停，并促使全球各地進行全國禁飛以保證人們不出門。

Tsukioka說，據出光興產株式會社估計，第二季度日本汽油需求量將下降大約20%，柴油需求量將下降10%。

Idemitsu sees Japan's oil products demand down 20% April-June

Japanese oil refiner Idemitsu Kosan expects Japan’s demand for oil products to fall by about 20% in the April-June quarter from a year earlier as measures to curb the coronavirus pandemic reduce jet fuel and gasoline use, its chairman said.

“Overall demand for oil products in Japan is now seen dropping about 20% in April-June, bigger than our earlier estimate of about a 14% decline, with jet fuel demand plunging more than 50%,” Takashi Tsukioka, chairman of Idemitsu, told a news conference.

Global fuel demand is set to drop by as much as 15% to 20% in the April-June quarter after the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed more than 143,700 people, halted most air travel and prompted national lockdowns across the globe to keep people at home.

Idemitsu estimates gasoline demand will fall by about 20% in Japan and diesel demand will dip 10% for the quarter, Tsukioka said.
