Fuel & Related Product Wholesaling in France industry analysis

France’s Fuel and Related Product wholesalers' performance is largely dictated by global oil prices and demand from downstream markets, including the industrial and travel sectors. Oil prices' volatility creates severe fluctuations in wholesalers’ revenue. These fluctuations, alongside the COVID-19 outbreak, geopolitical tensions and the shift towards more environmentally friendly options, have impacted demand significantly. Revenue is expected to climb at a compound annual rate of 9.2% over the five years through 2025, including a 2.4% hike in 2025 to €108.2 billion.

Trends and Insights

  • Sanctions on Russia push up prices. Following its invasion of Ukraine, the EU and other western nations placed severe sanctions on Russia, including a ban on Russian fuel imports, pushing prices up and driving revenue growth for wholesalers.
  • Weak air passenger numbers hold back jet fuel sales. Demand for jet fuel remains below its pre-pandemic level as the cost-of-living crisis and rising environmental awareness dampen the number of flights.
  • A handful of players dominate at a regional level. Companies like Shell, BP and Total have substantial market share in their main markets due to their extensive distribution networks.
