Global Energy Review 2026 Global trends
…and translating to around 30 million tonnes (around 0.7 EJ) of additional consumption. Cooler weather and strong renewables growth were the major drivers of the slowdown. Oil demand growth also eased, increasing by around 0.65 mb/d, driven by petrochemicals and aviation as fuel demand for road transport growth remained muted as electric vehicle sales increased by over 20% to more than 20 million units. Natural gas demand increased by around 40 billion cubic metres (bcm). At 1%, the annual growth rate marked a notable slowdown from the 2.8% increase in 2024, as high prices curbed higher consumption…

Global Energy Review 2026 Electricity demand
…TWh in 2025, up by 5.1%, but slower than the growth of 6.6% in 2023 and 7.0% in 2024. Demand from the buildings and transport sectors continued to expand strongly, supported by rising incomes, higher appliance ownership, and the fast growth of China’s electric vehicle fleet. However, amid global economic uncertainty, trade barriers and a structural weakening of domestic consumption, industrial electricity demand increased by only 3.7% in 2025, compared with the robust 6.0% in 2023 and 5.1% in 2024.After four consecutive years of demand expanding by more than 6%, India’s…

Global Hydrogen Review 2026 Demand
…contracted as of Q1 2026, with progress occurring mostly in refining and fertilisers thanks to supportive policies and regulations in Europe and India.Refining and industry remain the main sectors in which low-emissions hydrogen adoption is taking place. Based on projects that have at least reached a final investment decision (FID), 2.5 Mt is expected to be produced and consumed in refineries and industrial facilities by 2030.Fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) stock grew 20% in 2025, to almost 130 000, due to truck sales in China and a rebound of car sales in Korea. Policies in these countries are…

World Energy Investment 2025 Executive summary
…cooling, electric mobility, data centres and artificial intelligence (AI). Ten years ago, investments in fossil fuel supply were 30% higher than those for electricity generation, grids and storage. Today, these positions are reversed. Investment in the electricity sector is set to reach USD 1.5 trillion in 2025, some 50% higher than the total amount being spent on bringing oil, natural gas and coal to market. There is also increasing expenditure on the electrification of end-uses, largely reflecting the additional cost of buying an electric vehicle (EVs) versus an internal combustion engine model, even though many EV models being sold in…

Global EV Outlook 2025 Trends in the electric car industry
…despite electric car production falling 7% in the United States, overall output across the region remained unchanged year-on-year, as the decline in US output was offset by Mexico doubling its production to 220 000 electric cars. US-headquartered carmakers ramping up their manufacturing operations in Mexico were responsible for 70% of the country’s total output, followed by Japanese and EU OEMs contributing equally to the remaining 30%. Meanwhile, Canada’s output paled in comparison to its neighbours, remaining constant from 2023 at 25 000 vehicles.Electric car production also increased in Asia Pacific countries other than China to reach about…
