| 12 Mar 2026 11:45 | | Market Speak: OPEC keeps 2026 global oil demand growth forecast steady at 1.4 mb/d | | | According to the latest monthly report from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, global oil demand is expected to expand by around 1.4 mb/d in 2026 and 1.3 mb/d in 2027, with forecasts unchanged from the previous assessment. Demand growth is projected to be driven largely by non-OECD economies, while OECD consumption is expected to rise only modestly. The global economic outlook also remains steady, with growth forecasts held at 3.1% for 2026 and 3.2% for 2027, supported by strong momentum in major emerging economies including China and India. On the supply side, liquids production from non-DoC countries is forecast to increase steadily, led by producers such as Brazil, Canada, the United States and Argentina, indicating a balanced but gradually expanding global oil market in the coming years.
