*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The transport fuel sector has borne the brunt of the Covid-19 demand shock as mobility restrictions brought global liquids demand to historic lows. However, diesel/gasoil demand globally is staging a stronger recovery than the others, surging ahead in H2 2020 and is on track to reach 2019 levels in 2022. Diesel/gasoil’s linkage to economic growth and its use in multiple sectors is behind this swifter recovery, and economic growth will continue to drive global demand in the long-term. In this insight, we review the following topics: • How did global diesel/gasoil demand fare in 2020, and what is the road ahead for 2021/2022? • What is driving the recovery in the US, Europe, China, India, and Brazil? • What’s ahead for diesel/gasoil demand in the next four years?
