Refining margins under pressure
ADI Analytics
Boutique consulting firm serving oil & gas, energy, chemical, and industrial sectors since 2009
The global petroleum refining industry is grappling with a significant decline in margins in 2024, a stark contrast to the robust performance of the past two years. This downturn is primarily driven by a confluence of factors, including a slowing global economy, weakened consumer demand for petroleum products, and the accelerating adoption of alternative fuels. As a result, major oil companies and independent refiners alike are facing pressure to adapt their strategies to navigate this challenging landscape.
