Fuel wholesalers have come up against hugely volatile markets in recent years. The COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent travel restrictions and lockdowns led to a standstill in global transport activity, driving a sharp drop in fuel prices and sales in 2020. Air passenger numbers tanked by 73% in the EU in 2020, according to the European Commission, driving a sharp drop off in demand for jet fuel. OPEC+ manipulates world crude oil prices by adjusting production quotas and collaborating with other producers. OPEC+ worked to cut production in early 2021 to raise prices back to their pre-pandemic level, which gave fuel wholesalers a big boost. Then, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine led to a string of sanctions being placed on Russia by the EU and other Western nations, including the UK. Bans on Russian fuel exports drove prices and wholesalers’ revenue through the roof. For example, according to vehicle insurer RAC, the average price of unleaded in the UK shot up by 23.8% between 2021 and 2022. Over the five years through 2024, fuel wholesalers’ revenue is forecast to fall at a compound annual rate of 3.8% to reach €1.1 trillion, including an expected 5.8% tumble in 2024 as supply cuts push prices up. Rising levels of environmental awareness will encourage fuel wholesalers to stock a growing range of low-carbon fuel options like biofuels and hydrogen (when they become more financially viable) in the future. In many European countries, the push to decarbonise transport is accelerating, with electric vehicles gaining ground on petrol vehicles, having already surpassed the market share of diesel vehicles in terms of new car registrations. The long-term fall in investment in oil and gas will also push up prices. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is anticipated to fall at a compound annual rate of 1.3% to reach €1.2 trillion.

Revenue in Europe’s food retailing industry is expected to slump at a compound annual rate of 7.7% to €100.8 billion in the five years through 2024. Growing competition from supermarkets is driving consumers away from the industry, as supermarkets offer much more competitively priced meat, fish, bread and fresh fruit and vegetables. The industry is susceptible to changes in household disposable income, which has been eroded throughout Europe over 2023 and 2024 as inflationary pressures plague consumers' pockets. Ever-growing health consciousness has proved unfavourable for much of the industry, as many consumers cut back on their consumption of red meat and baked goods to balance out their diet. This contributes heavily to the industry’s expected decline of 7.4% in 2024. Increases in fish, fruit and vegetable consumption have somewhat offset this slump in industry revenue. The industry has introduced various strategies to keep up with changes in tastes and preferences, with butchers introducing less fatty meat options and bakeries stocking vegan and gluten-free baked goods. Revenue is anticipated to contract at a compound annual rate of 1.4% in the five years through 2029 to €94.1 billion. Supermarkets will continue to pick away at the industry, as they expand into specialised food sections within their stores, with major supermarkets introducing butchers, fishmongers and freshly baked goods in their stores.
