Report Description

The Ecuador Oil & Gas Downstream Market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and is expected to surpass USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 2% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing demand for refined petroleum products.

Ecuador's refining sector is expected to grow significantly in the market during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for refined products from end-users. In 2018, Ecuador had a refining capacity of approximately 175 thousand barrels per day (b/d) of oil. Oil dominates Ecuador's energy mix.

Ecuador Oil & Gas Downstream Market Outlook

The oil industry accounts for more than half of Ecuador's export earnings, and the US is one of the country's largest crude oil importers. Ecuador had 2.8 thousand billion barrels of proven oil reserves as of 2018. The majority of Ecuador's oil reserves are in the Amazon's Oriente Basin.

With increasing investments and rising competition, Ecuador's refining throughput increased by 2.1 percent in 2018, reaching 159 thousand barrels per day. The Government of Ecuador is looking for private companies that are interested in building a new refinery. Rising pollution has led the state-owned PetroEcuador to decommission its aging 110,000 b/d Esmeraldas refinery in 2019 and launch an international tender to build a new one for USD 6 billion. As a result, increased production is expected to propel the Ecuador oil and gas refining market during the forecast period.

The most uncertain factors influencing the market growth are technological advancements and environmental concerns that encourage EV adoption. Government policies that encourage or require the use of EVs or other alternatives are likely to reduce oil demand. Ecuador opened its largest electric charging station for electric cars, taxis, and buses in 2019, which is built by China's BYD. Various policies and incentives, lower vehicle prices, increased driving range, faster charging times, and zero-emission vehicles are expected to boost the EV market, negatively influencing the market growth. In 2019, the country sold a total of 103 units. In comparison to the previous year, this indicated a reduction of roughly 21% in the number of electric vehicles sold in the country.

Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities

Rising export of crude oil is expected to fuel the market growth during the forecast period.
Rising electric vehicle (EV) demand across the globe can hinder the market growth.
The COVID-19 outbreak disrupted the global oil & gas market, hampered the market in the country. However, relaxation in restriction is expected to help the market reach pre-COVID level by end of 2021.
On-demand crude oil can create market opportunity in the projected timeline.
