In February 2025, according to the available shipping data, imports of crude oil to the USA, transported by sea, have decreased to the minimum level in the last four years.
Experts attribute this decline to various factors, including increased domestic crude oil production, changes in global energy prices, and geopolitical circumstances. Currently, analysts are monitoring further changes in the volumes of oil imports to the USA in the coming months.
This decline in crude oil imports may affect the global market for oil products and is seen as a reflection of the changing conditions in the global energy trade. Moreover, the drop in import volume may impact the domestic energy market of the United States, causing fluctuations in prices for fuels and products derived from oil.
However, industry representatives note that this trend of oil import decline may be temporary and will depend on many factors, including consumer demand, changes in macroeconomic policy, and global trends in energy production.
