#2 In EuropeAutomotive fuel retailers' revenue is forecast to sink at a compound annual rate of 5.3% to €316.6 billion over the five years through 2024. Retailers have endured a challenging and volatile period, including the shocks to oil prices amid the COVID-19 outbreak and Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as having to contend with intense competition from supermarkets and growing environmental concerns. Rising numbers of individuals are seeking ultra-low emission vehicles like electric vehicles or are cutting their car usage overall and opting for public transport alternatives. Legislative changes like adopting low-emission zones in European city centres and prospective bans on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars are also driving electric vehicle adoption. Petrol stations are restructuring in the face of soaring competition, boosting investment in new technology and cleaner fuel options.
