Allied Market Research published a report, titled, "Fuel Cards Market by Type (Branded, Universal and Merchant Fuel Cards), and Application (Fuel Refill, Parking, Vehicle Service, Toll Charge and Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2023-2032". According to the report, the "fuel cards market" was valued at $735 billion in 2022, and is projected to reach $2.8 trillion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 14.4% from 2023 to 2032.
The necessity for improved fuel management and the penetration of digital transaction solutions drives the growth of the market. In addition, the rise in the adoption of banking & financial sectors across the globe fuels the growth of the market. Moreover, the increase in demand from developing countries is expected to provide lucrative opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, the lack of security measures limits the growth of the fuel cards market. The universal segment held the highest market share in 2022.
By type, the universal segment dominated the market in 2022. This segment's prominence is due to the broad acceptance and versatility of universal fuel cards, which can be used at a wide range of fuel stations and service providers. Universal fuel cards offer significant convenience for businesses and individual users by allowing them to access various networks without being restricted to specific brands or locations. However, the merchant segment is expected to witness the largest CAGR of 15.7%, this anticipated growth is driven by several key factors. First, merchants, including gas stations and convenience stores, are increasingly adopting fuel card solutions to streamline payment processes, enhance transaction efficiency, and offer value-added services to customers.
The fuel refill segment held the highest market share in 2022.
By application, the fuel refill segment accounted for the largest share in 2022. This dominance is attributed to the fundamental role that fuel refills play in the daily operations of both individual vehicle owners and fleet managers. Fuel cards simplify the process of purchasing fuel by providing a streamlined, cashless transaction method that is both efficient and convenient. However, the others segment is expected to witness the largest CAGR of 16.2%. This growth is driven by the increasing integration of fuel card solutions with comprehensive fleet management systems, which include the procurement of spare parts. Companies are seeking to streamline operations by using fuel cards not only for managing fuel expenses but also for efficiently handling spare parts procurement and maintenance costs.
Regional Insights: The Europe region held the highest market share in 2022.
