In 2023, Germany recorded the highest crude oil gross inland consumption in Europe at 961.3 thousand gigawatthours, closely followed by Spain and Italy. The year-on-year growth reflected modest declines across major countries, notably France at -3.33% and Portugal at -5.27%, while Ukraine experienced a significant increase of 10.39%. Over the past five years, Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) trends indicate stagnation or slight contraction in major economies, signaling an ongoing shift in energy consumption patterns.
Future trends to watch in European crude oil consumption include the impact of energy transition policies, renewable energy penetration, and geopolitical influences on supply chains and regional consumption patterns.
