Ranked: U.S. Crude Oil Imports by Country

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app. Use This Visualization Ranked: U.S. Crude Oil Imports by Country This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. Key Takeaways In 2024, 61.7% of America’s crude oil imports were from Canada. Meanwhile, Mexico accounted for 7.1% of crude oil imports. Crude imports make up about 40% of the oil that is refined in America, much of which is heavier crude compared to America’s light oil. For decades, America was a net importer of oil, but the shale boom shifted the balance in 2019. But even with about a $65 billion trade surplus in petroleum trade, the U.S. needs crude oil imports. This is largely due to America’s refinery operations, with heavier crude from other countries enabling higher output and efficiency. This graphic shows the largest suppliers of U.S. crude oil imports, based on data from the Energy Institute. U.S. Crude Oil Imports in 2024 In the table below, we show where America gets its crude oil imports, measured in thousands of barrels per day (b/d): Country / RegionCrude Oil Imports 2024Thousand b/dShare Canada4,07261.7% Mexico4657.1% Saudi Arabia2734.1% Iraq1983.0% UAE380.6% Kuwait220.3% S. & Central America1,07516.3% West Africa2453.7% North Africa961.5% Europe741.1% Other CIS380.6% Despite America pumping out roughly 13.4 million barrels of crude oil per day, a record, it also relies heavily on Canadian crude imports. Since 2013, these imports have increased from 33% of total crude imports to 61.7%. Driving this increase is higher pipeline capacity, lower prices, and greater Canadian production. As the second-largest country for crude imports, Mexico shipped 465,000 barrels per day, thanks to both its proximity and supply of heavier crude oil. Today, American refineries operate most efficiently with a mix of heavy and light crude. Following behind is Saudi Arabia, the largest OPEC member supplying crude to America, covering 4.1% of the total.

Why Rare Earths Are Critical to EV Motors

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app. Use This Visualization Why Rare Earths Are Critical to EV Motors This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. Key Takeaways In 2024, rare earth demand from EV motors reached 37 kt, up 32% year-over-year. The bulk of rare earth demand from EV motors is driven by three elements: neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium. Electric vehicles are reshaping the demand landscape for rare earth elements. As EV sales surge worldwide, the motors that power them are becoming one of the fastest-growing sources of demand for rare earth magnets. In 2024, demand tied to EV motors reached 37 kilotons, and is expected to rise to 43 kt in 2025. The data for this visualization comes from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence as of August 2025. How Rare Earths Power EV Motors There are four main types of EV motors: Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs), Induction Motors, Electrically Excited Synchronous Motors, and Axial Flux Motors. Only PMSMs and Axial Flux Motors rely on rare earth permanent magnets, but together they made up over 86% of the EV motor market in 2024. YearPMSMInductionEESMAxial FluxTotal EV Motors 202211.6M1.8M310K3K13.7M 202315.6M2.2M557K4K18.3M 202419.7M2.5M662K4K22.9M 2025F24.1M3.1M915K27K28.1M The most widely used magnets are NdFeB (neodymium-iron-boron) magnets. To withstand high operating temperatures, these magnets are often enhanced with dysprosium and terbium. YearRare Earth Demand (kt) 202219 kt 202328 kt 202437 kt 2025P43 kt PMSMs Remain the Dominant Technology Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors have become the global industry standard thanks to their efficiency, high torque output, and compact design. By comparison, induction motors are less efficient and bulkier, which makes them less attractive for large-scale EV deployment. Despite some automakers experimenting with magnet-free designs to reduce reliance on rare earths, PMSMs continue to capture almost two-thirds of the EV motor market. Future Demand Outlook As EV adoption accelerates, rare earth demand from motors is expected to grow steadily. Even as new technologies aim to reduce magnet content or use alternative materials, the efficiency advantages of PMSMs ensure that demand for neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium will remain strong.

Key Takeaways In 2024, China imported 11.1 million barrels of crude oil per day. Russia shipped nearly 2.2 million barrels per day (b/d), making it the largest single exporter of crude oil to China. China stands as the largest importer of crude oil in the world, with nearly a fifth coming from Russia in 2024. Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, these imports have increased from around 15.5% between 2018 and 2021. Beyond Russia, countries in the Middle East largely fuel the country’s oil demand. This graphic shows China’s crude oil imports in 2024, based on data from the Energy Institute. Ranked: The Top Suppliers of China’s Crude Oil Imports Below, we show China’s leading suppliers of crude oil last year: Country / RegionCrude Oil ImportsThousand b/d in 2024 Russia2,175 Saudi Arabia1,576 Iraq1,279 UAE712 Kuwait321 U.S.192 Canada184 Mexico20 Other Middle East2,436 S. & Central America1,055 West Africa934 Europe82 Other Asia Pacific42 Other CIS40 North Africa36 Australasia12 East & S. Africa10 As the above table shows, Russia has the largest share at 2.2 million barrels per day. When it comes to Russia, China benefits from the cheap price of Urals oil given Western sanctions. These economic factors—with Urals crude often selling at $5 to $10 dollars cheaper than similar grades—play a role in Russia and China’s growing oil trade. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia accounted for 14% of imports, and Iraq followed with 12% overall. Another large grouping is “Other Middle East”. Falling in this group is Iran, which sends up to 90% of its crude exports to China, or about one million b/d. Similarly, China stands as the top buyer of crude in Qatar. On the other hand, imports of U.S. crude have dropped dramatically—now at less than 2%. Interestingly, as trade tensions have escalated, Canadian imports have surged to record levels in 2025 as China seeks out alternate suppliers.

Key Takeaways In 2024, U.S. oil consumption stood at 19 million barrels per day, a change of -0.1% from the previous year. China follows next, with 16.4 million barrels per day, changing -1.2% over the year. Over the past decade, India’s oil consumption has grown at one of the fastest rates globally, increasing 3.8% on average, per year. In 2024, the world’s 10 largest oil-consuming countries accounted for 61% of the global share. This jumps to 80% among the top 20 countries, as overall consumption increased by a moderate 0.7% annually. Despite slowing growth and the rise of green energy sources, oil continues to be the leading source of energy worldwide. This graphic shows the world’s top oil-consuming countries in 2024, based on data from the Energy Institute. The Concentration of Global Oil Consumption Below, we show how global oil consumption is dominated by a handful of countries, supported by their economic strength, demographics, and oil production: RankCountryMillion Barrels in 2024 Per DayShare of Global Total 1 U.S.19.018.7% 2 China16.416.1% 3 India5.65.5% 4 Saudi Arabia4.03.9% 5 Russia3.83.8% 6 Japan3.23.2% 7 South Korea2.92.9% 8 Brazil2.62.5% 9 Canada2.32.3% 10 Germany2.12.0% 11 Iran2.01.9% 12 Mexico1.91.8% 13 Indonesia1.61.6% 14 Singapore1.51.5% 15 France1.41.3% 16 UK1.31.3% 17 Spain1.31.3% 18 Italy1.31.2% 19 Thailand1.31.2% 20 UAE1.21.2% 21 Turkey1.21.1% 22 Australia1.11.1% 23 Malaysia0.90.9% 24 Iraq0.90.9% 25 Taiwan0.80.8% In 2024, the U.S. consumed 19 million barrels of oil per day, representing 18.7% of the world total. Breaking it down further, approximately 70% of American consumption is from the transportation sector, followed by 24% for industrial use in areas like feedstock for plastic production. Meanwhile, residential and commercial use each make up about a 3% share. China ranks in second globally, consuming 16.1% of the global total. However, oil consumption per capita is less than a fifth of America. To partially make up for this, China relies more heavily on coal in its energy mix. Following next in line is India, covering 5.5% of world oil consumption in 2024. Unlike the U.S. and China—which have seen oil demand growth slow in recent years—India is projected to be the top country driving oil demand growth through 2030 given the rising strength of its economy and its phase of economic development.

Texas gained 35, cementing its draw as America’s energy capital and a swelling tech hub around Austin and Dallas. With no state income tax and a cost of living well below coastal peers, both states have become magnets for high-net-worth individuals fleeing higher-tax jurisdictions. Tech Hubs Keep Their Billionaire Edge, But is Growth Cooling? California remains the undisputed leader with 199 billionaires in 2025—up 75 from 2015—anchored by Silicon Valley fortunes from companies such as Apple, Google, and OpenAI. Yet the Golden State’s growth rate lags that of Florida and Texas, hinting at headwinds from rising costs and remote-friendly work patterns. New York added 43 new billionaires, driven largely by finance and media exits, but also saw some flight to lower-tax locales. Even with slowing momentum, these coastal giants still host 39% of all U.S. billionaires. Unexpected Wealth Hotspots in the Mountain West and Midwest Beyond the big four, several smaller states quietly punched above their weight. Nevada added 11 billionaires, boosted by Las Vegas real-estate windfalls and a growing tech presence around Reno. Utah’s count jumped six-fold on the back of booming software IPOs along the “Silicon Slopes.” Illinois and Massachusetts each gained 13 billionaires, underscoring the enduring wealth-creation power of Chicago’s trading dynasties and Boston’s life-science clusters. Conversely, traditional manufacturing states such as Michigan and Wisconsin slipped, each losing two members of the three-comma club.

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app. Use This Visualization When Each Country Will Reach Its Population Peak This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. Key Takeaways China, Germany, and Japan have all reached peak population by 2024, based on analysis from the UN. Across 48 countries, populations are projected to peak between 2025 and 2054, representing 10% of the world population. Meanwhile, 126 countries are forecast to grow through 2054, including India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and America. Today, at least one in two countries globally have fertility rates below the 2.1 replacement level. Going further, women bear one child fewer, on average, than around 1990. Paired with aging populations, this suggests that several countries have already hit their population peak, according to the latest analysis from the UN. This graphic shows global population peak by country, based on data from the UN World Population Prospects 2024 report.

In Japan, 30% of the population is aged 65 or older, the highest rate globally after Monaco. Today, 43 countries are considered “super-aged”, where the senior population makes up at least 20% of the population. On the other hand, immigration will be a primary driver of population growth in countries like the U.S. and Canada, despite record-low fertility rates. Overall, 52 countries are projected to grow through 2054 largely due to national immigration policies. Meanwhile, high fertility rates and younger demographics are set to propel growth in 126 countries, with many of these being among the world’s most populous. India, Pakistan, and Indonesia all fall within this group.

Mapped: Europe’s Crude Oil Imports by Country in 2024

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app. Mapped: European Imports of Crude Oil by Country This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. Key Takeaways The U.S. supplied about 21% of Europe’s crude oil imports in 2024, the largest source overall. Other Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), which includes Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, stood as the second-largest supplier of crude oil to Europe, according to the Energy Institute. The continent of Africa supplied a quarter of the total in 2025. In 2024, Europe imported 9.3 million barrels of crude oil per day (b/d), making it one of the largest importers of crude oil worldwide. As the continent reduces its reliance on Russian oil, imports from the U.S. climbed 6% in 2024. Meanwhile, Russian crude imports declined to 3% of crude oil imports across the European Union, down from 27% in 2021. This graphic shows European imports of crude oil, based on data from the Energy Institute. Tracking European Imports of Oil In the table below, we show Europe’s largest suppliers of crude oil, measured by thousand barrels per day (b/d) in 2024: Country / RegionCrude Oil ImportsThousand b/d in 2024 U.S.1,921 Other CIS1,622 North Africa1,159 West Africa1,117 S. & Central America946 Saudi Arabia774 Iraq766 Russia593 Mexico211 Canada118 UAE34 Other Middle East12 East & S. Africa10 Kuwait6 Other Asia Pacific2 The U.S. shipped 1.9 million b/d of crude oil to Europe last year, making it America’s largest goods export to the region. The Netherlands was the top European destination, largely due to Rotterdam’s role as a major hub for oil storage and trading. The UK, Spain, and France also imported notable volumes, though at significantly lower levels. Meanwhile, North Africa supplied nearly 1.2 million b/d of crude oil to Europe. Libya was Italy’s leading source in the first seven months of 2024, while African producers more broadly accounted for about one-quarter of Europe’s total imports, thanks to both its geographic proximity and abundant reserves.

Ranked: Countries With the Largest Muslim Populations

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app. Use This Visualization Ranked: Countries With the Largest Muslim Populations This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. Key Takeaways Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in any single country at 242 million—roughly 87% of its citizens. South and Southeast Asia dominate the ranking, with Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh each home to more than 150 million Muslims. This region is often overlooked for their Muslim populations as countries in the Middle East and North Africa tend to dominate conversations. Islam is the world’s second-largest relgion and 1.8 billion Muslims are spread across every continent. The visualization above ranks each country by the number of adherents, along with their share in the population revealing where Muslim communities are largest. The data for this visualization comes from two complementary sources: Pew Research, which tracks global religious affiliation, and the CIA World Factbook, which publishes the latest national demographic splits. Due to data restrains, the most recent figures between 2020–2023 have been used, depending on availability per country. Ranked: Countries With the Most Muslims Indonesia (242 million), Pakistan (235 million), India (213 million), and Bangladesh (150 million) alone account for nearly 40% of the world’s Muslims. Each of these densely populated nations has seen steady population growth over the past two decades, and fertility rates in Pakistan and Bangladesh remain above the global average. Together, they underscore the demographic weight of South and Southeast Asia, regions sometimes overlooked when the focus is on the Middle East.

Muslim-Majority and Muslim-Plurality States in Africa Meanwhile, Africa is home to some of the fastest-growing Muslim populations. Nigeria, already the continent’s most populous country, now counts more than 124 million Muslims, over half its citizens. In North Africa, Egypt and Algeria each report that roughly 95-98% of their inhabitants identify as Muslim, reflecting centuries-old cultural and religious continuity. Across the Sahel, countries like Niger and Mali post near-complete Muslim majorities, even as they grapple with rapid urbanization and climate pressures that influence migration patterns. Minorities in Demographic Giants: India and China While India’s 213 million Muslims comprise only 15% of its population, that minority is larger than the total populations of most countries. China’s Muslim share is just 1.4%, yet the absolute number—25 million—is comparable to the entire population of Australia. These examples illustrate how sheer population size can translate even small percentages into tens of millions of adherents. Demographers expect India’s Muslim community to surpass Indonesia’s by mid-century if current fertility differentials persist, potentially redrawing the global ranking.

These Car Brands Have the Highest DUI Rates in America

See this visualization first on the Voronoi app. Use This Visualization These Car Brands Have the Highest DUI Rates in America This was originally posted on our Voronoi app. Download the app for free on iOS or Android and discover incredible data-driven charts from a variety of trusted sources. Key Takeaways BMW drivers had the highest DUI rate in 2024, with 3.09 incidents per 1,000 drivers. RAM was close behind at 3.0, as were other luxury brands like Acura (2.7) and Audi (2.4). Driving under the influence of alcohol remains a serious public safety issue across the United States. According to the NHTSA, 34 people across the country die every day from drunk-driving crashes. But which vehicles are most commonly linked to drivers with DUIs? This infographic visualizes the results of a 2024 analysis that ranks car brands with the most DUIs in the U.S., measured by DUIs per 1,000 drivers. Data & Discussion The data for this visualization comes from LendingTree. It tracks DUI rates by car brand, providing insight into which brands’ drivers are most often cited for impaired driving.

Other luxury brands like Acura (2.7) and Audi (2.4) are close behind, suggesting some form of lifestyle or demographic trend. Note that this isn’t true for all luxury brands—Mercedes-Benz (1.4) and Land Rover (1.2) both rank very low for DUIs. Interestingly, a 2012 study by the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California, Berkeley found there is indeed a link between bad driving habits and wealth. The study watched 152 drivers approach a pedestrian crosswalk to see if they would stop for a person walking across. While eight of every 10 cars stopped, researchers noted that drivers in more expensive cars were less likely. One of the most significant trends was that fancy cars were less likely to stop. BMW drivers were the worst. – Paul K. Piff, UC Berkeley While running through a crosswalk and drunk driving are two very different offenses, both highlight how certain demographics of drivers may be more prone to risky behavior behind the wheel.

Over the past 25 years, the population has increased by 185,000 residents across an area stretching just 33 km². Monaco follows with 16,024/km², reflecting its luxury economy, tax benefits, and constrained geography. As a result, Monaco is home to one of the most expensive real estate markets globally. Meanwhile, Singapore and Hong Kong also rank highly, demonstrating how city-states or city-like regions dominate this metric. As we can see, many of the most densely populated places are island nations or small territories. Notably, Sint Maarten, Malta, and Bermuda each have over 1,300 people per square kilometer.

Given ChatGPT’s quickly rising popularity, usage figures are likely higher across the board. India Leads in Daily ChatGPT Usage India is the global leader in daily ChatGPT use, with 36% of respondents saying they use it every day. Notably, this is more than double the global average of 17%. Several over emerging economies show relatively high adoption rates, including Pakistan (28% daily), Kenya (27% daily), and China (24% daily). This may reflect a higher openness to new technologies within these countries, or a prevalence of jobs that can easily utilize ChatGPT. Japan and Europe Show Slower Adoption At the other end of the scale, Japan has the lowest daily usage at just 6%. Nearly half of Japanese respondents say they rarely use ChatGPT, suggesting limited integration into everyday tasks. Several European countries follow a similar trend. In France, the U.K., Poland, and Portugal, only about 10–12% report daily usage, with over 40% falling into the “rarely” category.

Visualized: Countries by Container Volume Per Capita

Published 3 hours ago on August 29, 2025 By Ryan Bellefontaine Graphics & Design Athul Alexander Twitter Facebook LinkedIn Reddit Pinterest Email The following content is sponsored by DP World Visualized: Countries by Container Volume Per Capita Global trade is a key driver of economic growth in today’s modern economy, but which countries punch above their weight? This graphic, created in partnership with DP World, compares select countries on container volume per capita using data from the World Bank’s container traffic (in TEUs) and World Bank populations for 2022. UAE vs. Singapore Here is a table that shows the 2022 container volume per capita by country, derived from national TEUs divided by population. CountryContainer Volume (TEUs, 2022)Population (2022)Container Volume Per Capita Singapore37,289,6005,637,0006.62 UAE20,300,0009,441,0002.15 Malaysia27,293,93533,938,0000.80 South Korea28,502,04451,628,0000.55 Spain17,161,67647,615,0000.36 Vietnam20,518,92698,187,0000.21 China268,990,0001,417,173,0000.19 United States62,214,119333,288,0000.19 Japan22,515,870125,125,0000.18 India19,717,1681,417,173,0000.01 Singapore tops the ranking thanks to its outsized transshipment role across Southeast Asia. Meanwhile, the UAE places second, supported by Dubai’s Jebel Ali Port and the wider Jafza free zone. Despite the U.S. and China having the largest container volumes of any countries, the UAE accomplishes 10 times more when adjusting for population. Moreover, Jebel Ali’s installed capacity reaches 19.4 million TEUs, enabling deep-water, big-ship calls. In turn, the broader Jafza ecosystem has enabled trade for 40 years and today hosts 11,000+ companies, facilitating US$190B+ in commerce. Why Trade Per Capita Matters Per-capita trade normalizes scale and highlights logistics ecosystems that serve regions far beyond domestic demand. We calculate container volume per capita by dividing total 2022 TEUs by each country’s 2022 population. Because TEUs measure capacity, results reflect throughput rather than cargo value. Where TEU figures cover all national ports, the metric shows how infrastructure scales beyond domestic needs, as a result, transshipment and re-export hubs often rank higher than much larger economies.
