Exports on steep recovery with rising global demand for energy


Global energy exports recovered significantly in Global Exports Structure, 2021
2021, boosted by increasing consumption and
rising prices. Reopening industrial sectors and
commercial businesses increased global
demand for electricity and subsequently natural
gas, while recovering mobility boosted road fuel
and jet fuel demand.
Russia remained the largest energy exporter
globally, accounting for 13.6% of total exports in
2021. The country also recorded the steepest
growth in energy products’ foreign sales among
the top 10 exporters globally, benefiting from
steep demand growth for natural gas. China was
the main single buyer for Russian oil and gas,
however the majority of Russia’s exports went
to Europe during the year. After the invasion of
Ukraine in February 2022, the EU, however, is in
talks to significantly reduce oil and gas
purchases from Russia in 2022, leading to long-
term insecurities for Russia’s producers.

China and India to continue leading global energy imports growth


Global imports of energy products also Global Imports Structure, 2021
recorded significant growth during the year,
driven mostly by recovering demand in Asia
Pacific. In the region, China and India took
the lead in growth of energy imports, due to
the fast-paced economic growth and
expanding consumer markets.
The US became the second-largest importer
of energy products in 2021, down from first
position the year prior, as the country
continued to boost its domestic production
levels. According to U.S. Energy Information
Administration, the country produced about
18.66 million barrels per day of petroleum
and consumed about 19.78 million barrels
per day in 2021. Nevertheless, the country
still imported crude oil and petroleum
products to supply domestic demand and to
supply international markets.

Rising fossil fuel prices are driving energy industry revenue growth

Commodity fuels’ prices were on a steady rise throughout 2021, outperforming the levels recorded in the pre-
pandemic 2019. The price inflation was a result of tight supply in the face of recovering demand, after COVID-

19-related refinery closures led to limited capacities to meet a sudden surge in fuel consumption, drilling
activities slowed down and investments stagnated.

Crude oil prices nearly doubled in 2021 in annual basis as the world faces significant supply and demand
imbalance. The rebounding consumption during the year caused product inventories to fall to multi-year lows
by the end of 2021, while the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) continued to limit its

Oil prices have seen a further rise over the first quarter of 2022, as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused
concerns for oil supply shortages and trade dislocations as sanctions are being imposed against the aggressor.

Natural gas prices were five times higher in Europe and doubled in the US in 2021 compared to the year

Saudi Arabia continues to invest in Asian market refining to secure future crude oil buyers
Saudi Arabia’s energy industry recorded a highly favourable year in 2021, boosted by increasing oil prices and

investing in expanding in the country, has reported more than doubling its net income in 2021 on a year-on-year basis, reaching

methane emissions by 2030.
The high economic dependency on oil export revenues are driving Saudi Arabia’s investment in refining plants
in key consumption markets with rising populations and economic growth, such as India and China. The

on petrochemicals production, anticipating the decline in road fuel such as diesel or petrol demand over the
long term.
The country has a well-developed export network, which provided a major boost to the industry’s revenue

for road fuels as well as boosted production prices. The main export partners in 2021 were Japan, the US and
