Of all the forces reshaping the global fuel and convenience retail industry, none is having a larger impact than the rise of Veículos elétricos (EVS).

The So What

As EV penetration rises between now and 2035, profit pools will shift, service stations will close, and site formats will evolve.

A realidade difere de mercado. Os varejistas de combustível podem usar esses cenários de mercado para se posicionar para se adaptar nos termos curtos, médios e longos. We see three primary market scenarios that are likely to play out globally by 2035. We have modeled each to understand how these markets will evolve. Fuel retailers can use these market scenarios to position themselves to adapt over the short, medium, and long terms.

It’s worth noting that there are wild cards that could materially alter these scenarios, including changes in the regulatory environment, pace of technology development (for example, battery-swap, e-truck, and hydrogen), and evolution of fuel and charging margins.

Fuel retailers need to closely monitor market changes and adjust their strategy accordingly.

We see three major market shifts with varying impact across scenarios:

Profit pools will contract where EVs dominate. As EV penetration grows, profits from fuel will decline by up to 60%. In many markets two growth opportunities promise to fully or partially offset this decline in profits. First, charging will be an expanding business, with charge point operators (a role that fuel retailers are well positioned to play) expected to capture more than half of total charging profits. Second, enhanced convenience store offerings, including a broad range of fresh food tailored to local market tastes, may draw customers who are not visiting to refuel—what we call non-energy related convenience. However, where EV penetration is high, the fuel decline will be hard to bridge. Consequently, by 2035 total profits for fuel and convenience retailers in markets where EVs dominate could decline by 30%. (See Exhibit 1.)

Some service stations will close. Where EVs dominate, up to one quarter of sites may become unprofitable and need to close by 2035. Closures are expected to be concentrated in rural and residential locations where drivers will typically charge at home. Highway and transient sites (such as those near airports or on major roads) are likely to prove more resilient due to the need for on-the-go charging and increased demand for convenience items not linked to refueling or charging. (See Exhibit 2.)

Remaining sites will evolve. The right format for an individual site will hinge on the degree to which there is demand for energy services (fuel and charging) or convenience sales. As shown in Exhibit 3, four primary formats will dominate.

Now What

Companies will need to implement the right mix of actions at a site-by-site level between now and 2035.
