Global oil consumption 2021, by country
The United States and China are the top largest consumers of oil in the world, totaling 18.7 million and 15.4 million barrels per day, respectively. In the last decade, the share of global oil consumption from Europe and North America have begun to decline, whereas consumption levels from Asia Pacific and other regions have risen. As other sources of energy become more cost effective and due to the prominence of new transportation technologies, oil consumption worldwide is expected to reach a peak in the near future.
