Fuel retailers have faced challenging operating conditions in recent years, with volatility in the world price of crude oil significantly affecting fuel prices, industry revenue and profitability. Retail petrol prices have reflected rising oil prices, with petrol prices across New Zealand rising from 215.4 cents per litre in 2019-20 to an expected 246.6 cents per litre in 2024-25. This rise comes despite global oil prices falling sharply in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, as demand from the global manufacturing and aviation sectors crashed. Fuel retailing revenue plummeted in 2020-21 as the Central Government (Te Kawanatanga o Aotearoa) introduced restrictions to limit the pandemic's spread. Demand conditions have since recovered, while the Russia-Ukraine war has caused oil prices to soar, driving a rebound in industry revenue over the two years through 2022-23. Overall, revenue has contracted at an annualised 1.5% to an anticipated $10.1 billion over the five years through 2024-25. This includes an expected decline of 1.8% in 2024-25, as world crude oil prices continue to correct downwards, causing declines in retail fuel prices. Retailers have largely passed on heightened crude oil prices, leading to steady margins. The industry's competitive landscape has changed significantly over the past decade. Industry participation has fallen, and merger and acquisition activity among the industry's larger players has increased as they've sought to consolidate their market positions. Foreign ownership is also on the rise. In October 2021, Ampol Limited announced plans to purchase Z Energy for $2.0 billion. The transaction was completed in May 2022 to make Ampol the industry's largest player. The world price of crude oil is set to remain elevated over the coming years, although retail prices should moderate as supply chain issues ease, limiting revenue growth. Fuel retailers will benefit from ongoing growth in tourism activity over the coming years. Even so, continued growth in electric vehicle uptake is set to increasingly constrain demand for fuel. Overall, industry revenue is forecast to climb at an annualised 0.9% through 2029-30, to $10.6 billion.

What is fueling the nation?

New Zealand extracts its oil from fields in the Taranaki region. Locally produced oil is generally of a high quality, and therefore is mostly exported with a high value on the international market. As a result, New Zealand is a net importer of oil, with the biggest source being crude oil imported from the Middle East. Russia and Asia also contributed to the nation’s oil supply.
