Morphology
The meaning ('total demand across countries/economies') is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'global' (pertaining to all countries/regions) with 'demand' (quantity demanded). This straightforward adjective+noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English compounding rules, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
The noun global demand comes from the image of buyers and markets all over the world wanting the same goods. The word global means 'worldwide' and demand means 'want', so the phrase refers to the total want for products and services around the world.
