Resource consumption is about the consumption of non-renewable, or less often, renewable resources. Specifically, it may refer to:
- water consumption
- energy consumption
- natural gas consumption/gas depletion
- oil consumption/oil depletion
- logging/deforestation
- fishing/overfishing or
- resource depletion and
- general exploitation and associated environmental degradation
Measures of resource consumption are resource intensity and resource efficiency. Industrialization and globalized markets have increased the tendency for overconsumption of resources. The resource consumption rate of a nation does not usually correspond with the primary resource availabilty, this is called resource curse.
