Petroleum Refining in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Petroleum Refining in the US

The Petroleum Refining industry has experienced multiple volatile conditions in recent years. Crude oil is the primary input cost for refiners in the United States. Attributable to its sensitivity to microeconomic and macroeconomic factors including supply, demand and the health of global economies, crude oil is a highly volatile commodity. The US oil and gas production index has increased in the last few years, contributing to the rise in the world price of crude oil. Despite the rising crude oil prices, volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine offset revenue growth. Over the past five years, industry revenue has been falling at a CAGR of 6.7% to an estimated $532.4 billion, including a projected 4.8% drop in 2023 alone.

Industry operators refine crude oil into petroleum products. Petroleum refining involves one or more of activities including fractionation, straight distillation of crude oil and cracking. This industry does not include companies that extract crude oil or retail gasoline.
