World crude demand is estimated to have risen by about 1.1 million b/d in 2013. Non-OPEC supply and OPEC NGLs, which are not covered by OPEC's output targets, are thought to have increased by a combined 1.5 million b/d, based on the latest monthly oil reports from the International Energy Agency, US Energy Information Administration and OPEC. Forecasts from the three organizations for 2014 suggest an increase in global demand growth of about 1.1 million b/d. However, estimates for growth in combined non-OPEC supply and OPEC NGLs output show much greater variation. The International Energy Agency anticipates a 1.9 million b/d increase, OPEC just 1.3 million b/d. The US Energy Information Administration posits 2.05 million b/d.
