*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
European oil demand fell every year between 2006 and 2014, dropping by a total of 2.5 million b/d as high oil prices coupled with a flagging economy to stem oil product consumption. But in 2015 this trend reversed and we have seen growth in oil demand of 620 kb/d in the last two years. We believe this recovery will be short-lived and from the second half of 2017 we forecast a return to the structural decline in European oil demand.
