> Global oil demand is projected to increase in 2025 compared to 2024, but the growth rate is expected to slow down. The International Energy Agency (IEA) anticipates a decrease in global oil demand growth for the remainder of 2025, but expects demand to reach 104 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2025, a notable increase from 2024.
Perhaps you meant the pace of growth is slowing this year. But that has a lot to do with the macro economic situation, with central banks around the world cutting rates as growth slows (and some countries enter recession.) The global economy is slowing, when it rebounds again, so will growth in oil demand.
Solar doesn’t compete with oil, it competes with other electricity generation like coal and gas. But even that is not declining yet, globally.
Global coal demand may finally have reached its peak, if we’re being optimistic.
Natural gas and oil demand are still increasing.
