Europe 's downstream industry is experiencing changes in fuel consumption patterns. Demand for middle distillates is growing faster than any other major refined product. In addition, in Western Europe there has been a strong push for diesel-fueled passenger vehicles driven by fuel prices and taxes. This has also led to gasoline demand in Western Europe falling for the last seven years, producing surpluses of gasoline and blended stocks. In recent years, poor returns have made it unprofitable to invest in upgrading refineries to process different crude oils, which will be necessary as North Sea production declines The European Oil Refining Market Outlook is a new report published by Business Insights that analyzes the current dynamics of the European Refining Sector with a particular focus on the 21 major European countries. This new report details the key trends, analyzes the upgrading capacities of each of the respective countries and examines key issues confronting the industry. Assess the European oil refining market, anticipate future market trends and create successful product strategies with this new report.
