World Oil Consumption Map

This demand map highlights where petroleum liquids are consumed, which economies anchor refinery throughput, and where import reliance tends to shape crude flows. It complements the production map by showing the pull side of the global oil balance.

Year and view

2025 comes from the history file global_oil_history.json (last updated 2026-10-16), which carries production, consumption, exports, and imports for 76 countries for every year from 2015 to 2025. The history file does not label individual years as estimates, so years are shown as reported in that file. The map year slider and play control move through the same years, plus the labeled 2026 estimate year.

World totals 2025

From the history file's own WLD row for 2025, not a sum of the listed countries. Net balance is computed as world production minus world consumption. Changes are computed against 2024.

United States in 2025

United States produced 25.3 mb/d and used 20.45 mb/d in 2025: a surplus of 4.85 mb/d it could export or put into storage.

Every metric for United States in 2025. Rank is computed from the history file for 2025 among the listed countries. Share is of the world total (the WLD row) for 2025; no share is shown for net balance because balances include negative values. Changes are computed.

Pick any two listed countries to see them side by side for 2025: every metric, each country's rank (computed from the history file) and share of the world total, and an overlaid chart of consumption from 2015 to 2026. Change either pick, or clear both, at any time.

Country data 2025: Consumption

Values are in million barrels per day (mb/d). Net balance is computed as production minus consumption and is labeled computed wherever it appears. Change figures are computed from the history file as the selected year minus the comparison year, in mb/d and in percent.

Share is a share of world total: the denominator is the history file's own WLD total for 2025 and the selected metric. For net balance, a share is not shown, because net balances include negative values and a percentage of a net total would be misleading.

The table covers only the 76 countries in the data files. Countries in neutral slate on the map have no data for the selected year and are not colored as zero. Only the default year (2025) table is in the first served HTML; other years load from the same checked-in data in your browser.

The CSV holds all 76 listed countries for 2025 with every metric, the share of world for consumption, and the computed changes for that metric against the prior year and 2015.

How PetroEyes interprets consumption

Consumption is the demand anchor for the oil system. It helps explain where shipping lanes matter, why refinery margins move, and how macro growth or transportation trends can tighten balances. The map should be paired with production because a high-demand country may be self-sufficient in some products and exposed in others.
