Fuel Wholesaling in Ireland - Market Size, Industry Analysis, Trends and Forecasts (2024-2029)

Spilling revenue: Surging oil prices are causing revenue to follow suit in 2022-23

Revenue in the fuel distribution industry has been volatile in recent years, as it has followed trends in global crude oil prices, which have see-sawed significantly. Crude oil prices dropped in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak followed by an undersupply of oil as the global economy reopened from pandemic restrictions. Industry revenue is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 6.5% over the five years through 2023 reaching €18.3 billion, aided by rising fuel prices.

The industry purchases fuel products and by-products from petroleum refining firms to wholesale to petrol stations, electricity generators, aviation and shipping industries, commercial resellers, domestic suppliers, and other industries. Firms in the industry wholesale charcoal, coal, coke, fuelwood, naphtha, crude oil, diesel fuel, petrol, fuel oil, heating oil, kerosene, greases, oils and gases such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), butane and propane.
