Consumption of palm oil worldwide Palm oil is an edible vegetable oil commonly used for food products, detergents, and cosmetics. In the United States, palm oil consumption amounts to approximately 1.7 million metric tons annually. In comparison, palm oil consumption in the European Union is about three times as high. Nonetheless, palm oil consumption in the European Union has dropped significantly during the last two years. After constantly being close to 6.6 million metric tons between 2015 and 2020, consumption levels dropped to five million in 2021 and has not increased much since. Palm oil consumption in Indonesia is almost 20 million metric tons, which is significantly more than in any other country in the world. Indonesia’s palm oil consumption has nearly tripled during the last decade. Palm oil in China China's total imports of palm oil amount to approximately 7.2 million tons per year. More than half of those are imported from Indonesia, the leading palm oil producer worldwide. Furthermore, China's imports of palm oil from Malaysia amount to about 1.7 million metric tons, which is slightly less than a quarter of the total palm oil imports.

Oil consumption worldwide reached approximately ************* barrels per day in 2023. This was an increase of around ***** percent in comparison to the previous year, when global oil consumption experienced a drop as a result of the pandemic-enforced mobility restrictions which, in turn, led to a decline in transportation fuel demand. Apart from the years of the financial crisis and the 2020 coronavirus pandemic, oil consumption consecutively increased in every year since 1998. Oil demand by region As a region, Asia-Pacific has the highest demand for oil in the world, followed closely by the Americas. The United States alone contributes strongly to this high regional demand in the Americas, as it is the country with the largest petroleum consumption in the world. Oil is mainly used as a raw material for motor fuels or as a feedstock in the chemicals industry for products ranging from adhesives to plastics. It has historically also been used as a source for electricity and heat generation, although to a lesser extent than other fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. Where is oil produced? Though the U.S. holds only around **** percent of proved oil reserves, it currently accounts for the greatest share of global crude oil production, surpassing countries with far larger oil reserves such as Saudi Arabia. With the expansion of the shale oil industry through new methods of extraction like hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling, the United States has become less dependent on oil imports as domestic production has drastically increased.

The Crude Petroleum Extraction industry in Europe can be volatile. Its performance largely hinges on global oil demand and prices, which in turn are impacted by geopolitical conditions and global economic activity. Most of Europe relies on imports for its crude oil and refined fuels, often from geopolitically unstable regions. Only Russia can count itself among the world’s largest oil producers, while Norway and the UK are the main beneficiaries of oil reserves in the North Sea. The industry’s performance is heavily weighted towards oil production activities in these countries, with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine spurring a shift in Europe’s oil landscape. Revenue is forecast to decline at a compound annual rate of 5.6% to €236.1 billion over the five years through 2024. Revenue dropped during the pandemic, as tumbling oil prices were compounded by reduced global demand for oil. This was followed by a strong recovery in the following years, as a post-pandemic rebound in demand for oil led to a surge in prices. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a further spike in prices in the following year, bolstering returns on investment. The lure of sky-high margins purred increased exploration activity in 2022, while Russia was able to redirect most of its oil exports to China and India in response to Western sanctions. Europe’s oil landscape continues to shift as nations seek to wean themselves off of Russian fossil fuels, with Norway looking like the main beneficiary of the change in dynamics. Revenue is forecast to drop by 21.7% in 2024. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.4% to reach €306.7 billion. As geopolitical tensions persist, the potential for significant fluctuation in prices remains. However, as Europe continues to wean itself off Russian fossil fuels, there's an expectation of easing oil prices. By 2027, the EU aims to be completely free from Russian fossil fuels – a move that would open up opportunities for other oil producing nations, while placing pressure on Russia to continue to find alternative buyers of its oil. Ambitious decarbonisation targets threaten to contribute to a downward trend in oil consumption, weighing on long-term growth prospects.

In the crop year 2019/2020, the consumption of olive oil in Tunisia was forecast to reach 43 thousand metric tons, increasing compared to the previous years. From 2015 onwards, olive oil consumption in the country grew annually, except for declining significantly in 2016/2017.
Within the period examined, the domestic consumption remained considerably below the quantity of olive oil produced in Tunisia. This allows the country to export this product in large quantities. Indeed, olive oil is Tunisia’s leading food export in terms of trade value.
