Cracking China's oil demand
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
China's oil demand story is shifting dramatically. After years of robust growth, we expect Chinese consumption to plateau through 2030 as the world's second-largest economy undergoes a fundamental energy transition. Two powerful forces are reshaping the market. While China's electrification drive accelerates—putting unprecedented pressure on transport fuels—the petrochemicals sector continues expanding, though at a more uncertain pace. This creates a complex demand dynamic that will define the next decade. The stakes are significant. Our scenario analysis reveals potential steam cracker outcomes could swing demand by ~600,000 b/d by 2030. Understanding these competing trends is critical for navigating China's evolving oil landscape and its global implications.
