Retail fuel stations play a crucial role in ensuring the availability of fuel for vehicles and provide additional services to meet the needs of drivers and travelers. The retail fuel stations market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 25% from 2023 to 2040, driven by a number of factors, which include population growth, rise in incomes, increase in popularity of electric vehicles, and the growth in demand for sustainable fuels. 

The transportation industry is expected to witness growth during the retail fuel stations market forecast period, driven by population growth, economic development, and increased urbanization. Diesel is a primary fuel for heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trains. Diesel plays a pivotal role in driving retail fuel station market, influencing various facets of economy and transportation landscape of the country. Diesel demand significantly shapes the retail fuel market as a key fuel for commercial vehicles, industries, and agricultural machinery.  

Publicly owned fuel stations, often managed by government entities or state-controlled organizations, play a significant role in driving the retail fuel station market through their influence on market dynamics, regulations, and infrastructure. Government often set benchmarks for industry standards in terms of fuel quality, pricing, and service, acting as a reference point for private stations.

Furthermore, to attract a larger number of customers, the companies in this industry provide services such as car wash, convenience store goods, and general check-up of automobiles as a supplement to fuel sales and generate more revenue and expand its customer base. Petrol & Diesel are the main products in retail fuel stations industry. Moreover, increase popularity of electric vehicles will ultimately have major implications on the fuel retail business, and will cause to reexamine products and services offered by retail fuel stations and need to introduce services to accommodate for EVs.  In addition, the existing stations require significant modifications or new construction. In conclusion, the retail fuel stations industry heavily relies on robust infrastructure for optimal operations, expansion, and adaptation to evolving consumer needs and technological advancements. The absence of infrastructure development presents substantial obstacles, limiting retail fuel stations market opportunities, operational efficiency, and the ability to provide innovative services within the fuel station sector.

The growth of motorcycle/passenger vehicle registration is a driving factor for growing automobile fuel demand in Asia-Pacific region. The Southeast Asian region expects to have 26 million cars and 1.6 million trucks by 2040, and the fuel demand in Southeast Asia will increase from 4.7 mb/d in 2016 to 6.6 mb/d in 2040. The Asia-Pacific region will have the largest demand for gasoline and diesel in the world by 2035 due to a rapid increase of mobility. In the gasoline market, China and India is still self-sufficient, but ASEAN countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam) will increase gasoline imports.
