- Rystad, IEA forecast slower pace of expansion in key importer
- Smaller rise in nation’s consumption to echo trends in China
Oil demand growth in the key Asian market of India is set to slow next year as the spurt in consumption that followed the pandemic fades, echoing a slowdown in China and presenting a fresh headwind for prices.
Consumption will expand 150,000 barrels a day in 2024, down from about 290,000 barrels a day from 2021 to 2023, according to Rystad Energy Head of Oil Trading Mukesh Sahdev. The drop will return growth near the pace seen from 2011 to 2019, he said. The International Energy Agency, meanwhile, sees growth halving to 100,000 barrels a day, according to its November report.
