#13 In EuropePetroleum refiners sell a variety of derivative products with wide usages across many different industries. Despite this strong level of diversification, refineries suffered greatly from global dips in demand for transport following the COVID-19 outbreak. Stay-at-home orders and closures of non-essential business in many European countries led to a sharp drop in demand for petrol, diesel and jet fuel as many car, ship and plane journeys came to a halt. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to many European countries announcing they would wean themselves off Russian oil, causing a substantial and sustained rise in oil prices. These strong oil prices paved the way for a significant rebound in revenue for petroleum refiners. Despite this, oil price inflation has raised the operating costs for many downstream businesses, leading to many cutting consumption and switching to renewable sources of energy, as shown by the rising uptake of electric vehicles in countries like Norway and the Netherlands. Over the five years through 2024, European petroleum refineries’ revenue is anticipated to slump at a compound annual rate of 7.2% to €620.3 billion, including a projected contraction of 23.1% in 2024.
