Key trends include technological advancements, a focus on sustainability, integration of online and offline channels, telematics technology, and the adoption of AI, IoT, and data analytics.
The rising need for oil and natural gas is projected to stimulate the expansion of the retail oil and gas logistics market in the future. Oil and natural gas, harvested via drilling, have seen an increased demand due to factors such as economic development, seasonal climate variations, fuel conversion, and inventory control. The retail oil and gas logistics focus on ensuring effective transportation and distribution of oil and natural gas from the sites of extraction to retail points. This process improves the operational efficiency of oil and gas and guarantees a continuous and dependable supply of energy commodities to satisfy consumer requirements. For example, BDO LLP corporation, a public accounting firm based in the UK, reported in October 2023 that oil production in the UK had increased by 16.4% in 2022, reaching 38.2 million tons, compared to 2021. As such, the escalating demand for oil and natural gas is a driving factor behind the evolution of the retail oil & gas logistics market.
