Global Energy and utilities sector overview

The global energy and utilities sector market size is expected to grow from USD 58 billion in 2021 to USD 143 billion by 2027, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 16.3% during the forecast period. As per the IEA (International Energy agency) the global energy demand dropped by 5% in 2020, energy-related CO2 emissions by 7%, and energy investment by 18%. There was a contrast seen in the sharp drop in demand for oil (↓ by 8%) and coal (↓ by 7%) versus the slight increase in the share of renewable energy. The global electricity demand saw a modest drop of 2% in the year of the pandemic and the natural gas demand was down by 3%. 

The pandemic and the restrictions that followed with it rendered a challenging combination of demand and supply shock. The supply shock arose from the government enforced lockdowns on economic activity like shutting down of restaurants, shopping malls, factories to prevent the spread of the virus. The demand-side shock emerged from the impact on disposable income of many people as they lost their jobs due to the pandemic and curbed corporate investment activity. Experts suggest that during the lockdown phases economies usually see a 20% to 40% decline in economic output which is highly dependent on the most affected sectors and strictness of the lockdown rules. The impact of this demand and supply shock due to the decline in economic activity reduced global energy demand drastically.
