In 2023, the UK's oil consumption was notably at 1.30 million barrels per day. Over the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, a gradual decrease in oil consumption is projected, dipping from 1.29 million barrels per day in 2024 to 1.27 million barrels per day by 2028. This reflects a marginal downward trend with minimal annual changes of less than 1%.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Shifts in government policy towards renewable energy could further impact oil consumption levels.
- Technological advancements in energy efficiency may accelerate the reduction in oil demand.
- Global economic conditions could introduce variability to these consumption forecasts.
