Kpler

TLDR

Kpler is a Brussels-based real-time trade intelligence platform serving energy, commodities, maritime, and financial market clients with Data & Analytics-driven SaaS & Enterprise Software tools.

Overview

Founded in 2014, Kpler started as an LNG-focused intelligence service and has grown into a global platform that tracks physical trade flows across crude oil, refined products, LPG, chemicals, dry bulk, agriculture, metals, and power markets. The product layer combines real-time vessel tracking, proprietary supply and demand models, sanctions and risk tooling, and operational software for chartering and trading desks.

The company is headquartered in Brussels with additional offices in Paris, London, Singapore, Houston, New York, Dubai, Tokyo, Vienna, Cape Town, Athens, and Rostock. LinkedIn lists the company at 501 to 1,000 employees, while Kpler's own about page references more than 750 staff across more than 35 nationalities. Kpler has expanded through a sustained acquisition track including additions in defense intelligence, supply and demand analytics, metals and minerals, agriculture, refineries, and most recently financial flows and arbitrage tools.

In April 2026, De Tijd reported that Kpler was exploring a partial sale at a valuation around EUR 5 billion, which would put it among the most valuable Belgian-headquartered software businesses. The company sits in the Brussels Data & Analytics cluster alongside Collibra and operates one of the few Belgium-rooted platforms with global category leadership in commodities and maritime intelligence.
