As the number of omicron cases rises worldwide, demand for oil exceeded all expectations in the fourth quarter, the report says. 2021, an increase of 1.1 million b/d to 99 million b/d.
“A seasonal decline in demand is expected in 1 quarter of 2022, exacerbated by more remote work and less air travel. We have raised our estimates of global demand by 200 kb/d for 2021 and 2022, leading to an increase of 5.5 million b/d c and 3.3 million b/d, respectively, due to softer COVID restrictions,” the IEA writes.
According to analysts, in 2021 the demand for oil will be 96.4 million b/d, and in 2022 – 99.7 million b/d.
