• There is a robust growth anticipated in the gasoline stations market in the upcoming years, with its value projected to reach $3501.11 billion in 2029, displaying a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1%.
The growth in this forecast period stems from factors such as the shift to electric cars, the rise of alternative fuels, hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles, evolution in commuting trends, and collaborations with energy companies. Noteworthy trends during this period that are anticipated to shape the market include advanced infrastructure and digital payment methods, the shift towards electric vehicle charging infrastructures, service diversification, technology integration for enhanced efficiency, and an increase in contactless payments and digital transactions.
The surge in vehicle fuel needs is anticipated to stimulate the expansion of the gasoline station market in the future. Vehicle fuel encompasses gasoline and any other inflammable or gaseous substances, or liquids utilized as fuel for vehicle combustion. The uptick in vehicle manufacturing and sales results in a rise in demand for vehicle fuel available at gasoline stations hence, the requirement for vehicle fuel is directly linked to the growth of the gasoline station market. As an example, in January 2023, based on data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), a US government institution, there was a 0.3 million barrels per day (b/d) rise in the annual average gasoline consumption in the US in 2022. Thus, the need for vehicle fuel is a key factor driving the expansion of the gasoline station market.

Emerging technologies are becoming a dominant trend in the gasoline station market. Major players in this sector are focusing on employing cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning to cater to the needs of consumers and solidify their standing in the market. For instance, in February 2023, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC Distribution), known for manufacturing and distributing petrochemicals in the UAE, launched the AI-driven ADNOC Fill & Go station in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. This AI-backed system utilizes the latest advances in computer vision technology, incorporating machine-learning models that enable computers to recognize vehicles and deliver a tailored fueling experience. By registering their vehicles on the ADNOC Distribution app, customers can access any ADNOC station offering this new service, as smart cameras automatically recognize the vehicle. The customer's stored data is used at the pump to initiate the fueling process based on the preferred gasoline type and amount, providing a quicker and more streamlined refueling experience.
