Share of electricity in total final energy consumption

The share of electricity in final energy consumption slightly increased to 22% in 2025 (+4 pp compared to 2010).

Since 2020, the share of electricity in global final consumption has slightly increased, exceeding 22% in 2025. It has increased by 4.3 pp since 2010 (17.8%), as an increasing share of electricity is used in industry, residential and services sectors, and, more recently, in road transport with the development of electric vehicles and in the services sector with the data centre boom.
Since 2010, electrification of the economies has increased at a steady pace in Asia (+6 pp to 25%, including +0.2 pp in 2025), spurred by China (+9 pp since 2010 to 29% in 2025), India (+4 pp to 16.5%), and Indonesia (+3 pp to 13%). It has also increased in Vietnam (+14 pp to 30%), Taiwan (+8 pp to 34%), Japan (+3 pp to 31%) and South Korea (+2 pp to 26%). Electrification has also progressed in Latin America (+4 pp since 2010 to 20%, especially in Chile and Mexico), in the Middle East (+3 pp since 2010 to 17%, especially in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates), in Algeria and in Egypt. It has increased by 2 pp since 2010 in Brazil to 19% and in Europe to 23%, with strong increases in countries having massively developed renewables such as Denmark (+6 pp since 2010), Portugal or the Netherlands (+5 pp each). The share of electricity in final consumption is particularly high in Norway and Sweden, which benefit from large hydro resources (49% and 33%, respectively).
On the other hand, the share of electricity in final consumption has remained broadly stable in the USA at around 22%, in Canada at 24%, and in Russia at 14%.
