PARIS: Global oil demand will fall slightly in 2030, its first drop since the 2020 Covid pandemic, the International Energy Agency said Tuesday.
In an annual outlook for the oil market, the Paris-based agency cited sluggish economic growth, global trade tensions, the rise of electric cars and the shift away from crude to produce power.
Annual demand growth will slow from around 700,000 barrels per day (bpd) in 2025 and 2026 “to just a trickle over the next several years, with a small decline expected in 2030”, the IEA said.
Total demand is forecast to reach 105.5 million bpd in 2030, down from 105.6 million in 2029.
Oil demand dropped dramatically in 2020, when countries locked down and shut their borders during the Covid pandemic, falling to 91.7 million bpd before steadily growing again in the following years.
Demand in the world’s top consumer, the United States, is expected to peak this year and decline in 2026 while consumption in China, the top importer of crude, will fall from 2028, according to the “Oil 2025” report.
Demand in the Middle East will also peak in 2027 and decline the following year.
Saudi Arabia will post the “single largest decline in oil demand for any country” in absolute terms through 2030 as the kingdom replaces crude with gas and renewable energy to produce power, the IEA said.
