Global natural gas demand reached nearly *** trillion standard cubic meters in 2024. After a pandemic-driven decline in 2020, consumption rebounded strongly, slowed in 2022 amid supply disruptions and high prices, and resumed growth in 2023. As a key component of the global energy mix, natural gas is widely used for power generation, heating, and industrial processes, with demand shaped by economic activity, energy prices, weather conditions, and the transition toward cleaner energy sources.
