List of countries by oil consumption
Encyclopedia
]
In 2010, world energy consumption of refined products increased 3.8%; this is the first increase since 2004, the last year with prices below US$50/bbl.
According to Enerdata, this trend was supported by fast-growing demand for road and air transport, particularly in developing countries. In China, demand for refined products surged by 12% due to increasing needs. Asia accounted for more than 40% of the overall increase in consumption. In Latin America, demand rose sharply by 5.7%, representing 13% of the increase. In CIS, consumption grew by 7.3% (8.9% in Russia), while rising 4.2% in the Middle East (driven by Saudi Arabia and Kuwait). Each region contributed 8% to the overall increase.
Despite this growth, the US remains by far the largest user of oil, consuming more than China, Russia and India combined in 2009.
