Report summary
As sales of road transport fuel plummeted in 2020 due to travel restrictions, fuel retailers have seen increasing demand for non-fuel products as consumers stocked up with groceries at nearby forecourts. Oil Majors including BP, Shell and Total are all counting on higher profits from sales of groceries and food-to-go at their retail networks in the future as demand for traditional carbon-based fuel declines.
