Energy industry outlook 2024
Global energy consumption will grow by 1.8% in 2024, largely driven by strong demand in Asia. Despite still-high prices and unsolved supply chain disruptions, demand for fossil fuels will reach record levels, but demand for renewable energy will rise by 11%. Learn more with our energy industry forecasts.
Finance industry outlook 2024
High interest rates will determine the success or failure of almost every part of the financial services sector in 2024. Though painful for borrowers, banks will enjoy strong net interest margins and industry growth next year.
Telecoms and technology industry outlook 2024
Geopolitics will continue to affect the technology industry outlook in 2024. The tech battle between the US and China will persist in areas including artificial intelligence (AI), chips and quantum technologies. AI will receive increasing investment, but will encounter geopolitical and regulatory challenges.
Automotive industry outlook 2024
The automotive industry will face another subdued year in 2024, weighed down by slow consumer spending, high interest rates and disruption to supply chains due to geopolitical tensions. The only bright spot will be the electric vehicles market, with sales expected to soar by 21% as governments and consumers try to mitigate the worsening effects of climate change. Learn more from our automotive industry overview.
Consumer goods and retail industry outlook 2024
A slowdown in inflation will bolster retail industry volume growth by 6.7% in US dollar terms and 2% in volume terms in 2024. However, reduced savings and high food prices, worsened by the effects of climate change, will act as dampeners.
Healthcare industry outlook 2024
A recovery in the global economy will cause a return to spending growth in the healthcare sector. However, it will remain vulnerable to headwinds, including limited resources, stricter regulations and continued strikes.
