Determinants of Oil Demand
Demand for oil is driven by its use as an essential input in major economic sectors, including transportation, heating, and electricity generation, as well as in the manufacturing of a wide array of consumer goods. Consequently, the overall demand for oil is directly influenced by changes in the demand for these final products and the extent to which alternative inputs can be substituted in production.
