Here are the world’s biggest oil consumers
Oil remains the world’s most strategic commodity, and demand is heavily skewed toward a handful of nations. In 2025, the United States still tops the league, burning roughly 7.30 billion barrels of oil a year, while China comes in second at 5.53 billion barrels. Together, the next eight nations, India, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Brazil, South Korea, Canada and Germany, trail far behind but still collectively account for a massive share of global demand.
