Covid-19 and oil demand: A world divided
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The world’s response to the continued pandemic is divided, shifting the impact on oil demand by region. As vaccination programmes accelerate in the OECD, the Covid-19 response paradigm has fundamentally changed. With mask mandates and vaccine promotion the key tools now being used in lieu of restrictions/lockdowns, the impact from Covid-19 on OECD liquids demand is reduced substantially. OECD demand growth is allowing the global liquids total to increase 5.5 million b/d year-on-year over 2020. By contrast, in most of Asia Pacific, lockdowns and mobility restrictions remain the preferred containment tool, softening the impact of the demand acceleration in the OECD.
