2.1.3 Industry Demand
The worldwide average share of industry in total final energy demand today is
30%, with the highest share of 47% in China, and the lowest share of 19% in
Africa (EIA, 2009). The industry sectors with the highest energy demand are the
chemical and petrochemical industry, the iron and steel industry, and the
processing of non-metallic minerals. These three industry sectors contribute to
nearly 60% of worldwide industrial final energy consumption (Krewitt, et al.,
2008). Industrial energy demand varies across regions and countries of the
world, based on the level and mix of economic activity and technological
development, among other factors. Industrial energy use also includes natural
gas and petroleum products used as feed stocks to produce non-energy
products, such as plastics. In aggregate, the industrial sector uses more energy
than any other end-use sector, consuming about one-half of the world’s total
delivered energy (EIA, 2009). As seen in 2-10, the OECD industrial energy
demand is expected to fall as a result of the relatively mature economies,
ongoing efficiency gains and a decline in heavy manufacturing as a percentage of
OECD economies (ExxonMobil, 2009). This is consistent with the robust
economic growth and continued industrialization of the developing world. OECD
economies generally have more energy-efficient industrial operations and a mix
of industrial output that is more heavily weighted toward non-energy-intensive
