The UAE lost Sh61 billion worth of Kenya's import business in the first half of 2026 due to the Iran war disrupting Middle East fuel supply chains, with Saudi Arabia and India gaining market share. The shift was driven by Saudi Arabia's alternative pipeline infrastructure bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, enabling continued fuel exports to Kenya.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Climate Tech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Conflict in the Middle East rerouted Kenya’s fuel imports from UAE to Saudi Arabia. If you supply fuel or related logistics in Kenya or East Africa, consider partnerships or risks around alternative Gulf suppliers and their infrastructure advantages.
