Summary of 2024-2026 Balances •OPEC has maintained its forecast for global oil demand to grow by 1.3 million barrels per day (mb/d) year-on-year in both2025 and 2026. •Non-OPEC supply and OPEC NGLs may grow by 1.3 mb/d and 1.4 mb/d y/y in 2025, according to projections from the EIAand IEA, respectively. 2025 Outlook Comparison Summary of 2025 Balances and Revisions •OPEC sees global oil demand to grow by 1.3 mb/d year-on-year in 2025, primarily driven by growth in non-OECDcountries.

Evolution of 2025 Annual Demand Growth Forecasts •OPEC maintained its global oil demand growth forecast at 1.3 mb/d y/y this month, following a downward revision in the previousmonth driven by updated data and expected changes in trade flows.
