The Eastern European commercial fuel card markets are worth €8.7bn. In recent years the proportion of fuel purchased on fuel cards has decreased as national parc levels fell as companies reduced their operations. In 2015, fuel card volumes across the Eastern European markets declined 4.1% totaling just less than 8.3bn liters. Poland is the largest fuel card market in Eastern Europe and accounts for 37.7% of fuel card volume sales across the region but the popularity of fuel cards varies across the continent. Verdict predicts that growth in Western European fuel card markets is likely to come from Hungary as the commercial vehicle parc grows as the economy improves and small commercial fleets begin to use fuel cards to reduce transport costs.

Scope

CRT fleets to focus on international business. Due to the low transport costs of Eastern European fleets, many CRT fleets will win business across Northern and Central Europe as they undercut domestic firms on price. As fleets win more business across Europe, CRT fleets will need a card that has a large international acceptance network. The majority of card operators in Eastern Europe have coverage in this part of Europe, but it will be card operators with coverage across all of Europe that will be the main beneficiaries of this growing trend towards 2020.

Untapped fleet card market provides significant growth potential. The number of fleet vehicles in Eastern Europe will increase from 7,171,204 to 7,789,084 over the next five years, which will cause heightened competition within this region and lead to many fleets turning to fuel cards to remain competitive. The price discounts and credit periods offered by fuel cards help fleets to lower transport costs and make them more competitive in an expanding region of Europe.

Investing in CRT services will increase volumes and keep operators competitive. With the majority of CRT vehicles across Eastern Europe already owning a fuel card, investing in services aimed at CRT vehicles will help card operators to remain competitive and increase their client base. With the need for international CRT services to grow towards 2020, service such as toll payments, online monitoring, roadside assistance and overnight parking across Europe will allow card operators to differentiate themselves from domestic card operators and increase card volumes over the next five years.

Reasons to Buy

Plan effective market entry strategies by uncovering the current and future volume and value of fuel card transactions in Eastern European fuel card markets.

Assess whether you should increase network acceptance of your card and identify potential new merchants by uncovering the position of competitors.

Whether you are an issuer, a processor, a leasing company, or a fuel retailer, make informed pitches to partners by understanding their business.

Enhance fuel sales at your service stations by identifying which fuel cards you should accept based on their market shares and network acceptance.

GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
