There is no peak oil demand on the horizon,” Al Ghais, said in the forward of the latest <em><a href="https://publications.opec.org/woo/chapter/129/2354">World Oil Outlook</a></em> by OPEC.</p><p>The global population is projected to rise from 9.7 billion people by 2050, adding an additional 1.7 billion people over the next two and a half decades. Most of this demographic surge will come from developing nations, which have the right factors for the ongoing rapid urbanisation to intensify.</p><p>Although OPEC expects dwindling demand from demographic shifts and transition policies in developed nations, it projects that this will be more than compensated for by growth in developing nations. The net effect is that oil will remain the highest in the energy matrix at 29.3%, with oil and gas having a combined share above 53 percent. But it also projects across the board for all primary fuels, especially wind, solar, and natural gas, with the exception of coal.</p><p>The net result, according to some projections, is that the global economy will double in size in absolute terms. This rapid growth in population will fuel the growth in primary energy demand, estimated at 24% and driven by the mainstays of the demographic surge, about 30% of which will be from India.</p><p>OPEC has cut its outlooks in recent times, and at least three consecutive times in 2024. In October, it reduced its projections for 2024 from 2.03 million barrels per day to 1.93 million barrels per day, mainly due to shifting demand patterns in China.</p><p>The International Energy Agency (IEA), has more moderate estimates.”World oil demand is on track to expand by just shy of 900,000 barrels per day in 2024 and close to 1 million barrels per day in 2025, marking a sharp slowdown on the roughly 2 mb/d seen over the 2022-2023 post-pandemic period,” the IEA said in its October outlook, “China underpins the deceleration in growth, accounting for around 20% of global gains both this year and next year, compared to almost 70% in 2023.”</p><figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-kenyan-wall-street-business-markets-amp-finance-insights
