Gas Stations with Convenience Stores in the US industry analysis
Over the past five years, the Gas Stations with Convenience Stores industry has faced significant challenges because of fluctuating fuel prices, substantially influenced by global events like the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical unrest. These fluctuations led to challenges in striking a balance between maximizing profit and maintaining competitive retail prices. Also, growing consumer inclination toward fuel-efficient and electric vehicles has begun to influence industry dynamics, posing a threat to retail gasoline sales. However, the industry showed resilience by shifting its focus to a more stable and predictable revenue source of convenience store sales. Industry operators expanded their product lines, spurred by an increase in overall consumer spending. Many gas stations transitioned from mere fuel stops to comprehensive service centers, offering a diverse range of products and services. As a result, industry revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 1.6% to $503.4 billion over the five years to 2024, including an expected increase of 1.0% in 2024 alone.
Trends and Insights
- Volatile oil prices over the past five years have significantly impacted the industry. Prices have been extremely volatile because of COVID-19, supply chain disruptions and geopolitical tensions.
- Fuel sales dominate products sold by gas stations. Many consumers fill up their vehicle's gas tank at least once a week, keeping demand strong and consistent.
- The Southeast and the Southwest account for the largest share of gas stations with convenience stores. Demand for gas stations is high in these regions because of their dependance on car transportation.
- Gas stations compete heavily on price. Fuel is a homogenous product, so downstream consumers typically seek out the lowest prices, especially when oil prices soar globally.
