Revenues from the retail sale of automotive fuel in South Africa are projected to grow only marginally from 14 billion U.S. dollars in 2017 to 15 billion U.S. dollars by 2023.

Additionally, fuel prices in the country are comparatively higher than most other nations, which has further impacted sales.
