All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

The fuel cards market in the Mexico was valued at $3,970.2 million in 2020 and the market value will grow by more than 5% during 2021-2024. The proportion of fuel sold through fuel cards has recorded continual growth, increasing from 9% in 2017 to 9.5% in 2020. In Mexico, the fuel card volumes in 2020 have decreased by 13% from 2019.

The Mexican fuel card market value recorded growth in 2019, and this growth was due to an increase of more than 30% in average fuel prices during this period. In 2020, due to the pandemic, crude oil prices decreased and resulted in a decline of more than 7% fall in average fuel prices. The decrease in fuel prices and fuel card volumes caused fuel card value to register a fall in 2020.

Mexico growth continued in 2020 at 1.4%, with more than 76,000 new cards issued during the year. However, the proportion of active fuel cards recorded a fall, as fleet and CRT owners were forced to reduce the size of their fleets due to lack of business. Although transportation in Mexico was affected by COVID-19, CRT vehicles were not as hard-hit as they were still required to transport essential supplies.

It is expected that Mexico will continue to recover from the second wave of COVID-19 due to increasing number of vaccinations. As a result, transportation in the country will increase in the forecast period, and many fleets will expand their businesses and therefore this will help new business to turn to fuel cards to take advantage of wide card acceptance and additional services in order to remain competitive.

What are the fuel cards market dynamics in Mexico?

The value of the fuel card market is expected to increase due to the rising fuel prices and growing volumes of fuel sold through fuel cards which will drive the growth of fuel card market value.

In the forecast period, all new cars are expected to become compliant with more stringent emission targets set by the Mexican government. This factor affects annual sales of diesel vehicles, positively impacting fuel sales value, as vehicles will switch to gasoline, which is a costlier fuel option. Investing in services such as washrooms, overnight parking, free Wi-Fi, driver meal deals, and driver loyalty schemes also helps the drivers to use a specific card. This will increase card volumes over the next few years.

What are the key channels in the Mexican fuel cards market?

There are two key channels found for the fuel cards market that involves the Fleet Card and CRT card. The fuel sold from fleet cards registered continual growth between 2017 and 2019. In 2020, fleet card volumes decreased by more than 12%. The rising levels of transportation and the need for logistics companies to use the additional services offered by fuel card operators have contributed to the increase in fuel sold to CRT vehicles. Fuel sold through CRT cards saw continuous growth from 2017 to 2019. Thus, after the COVID pandemic, the market is found to show a recovery growth.  In Mexico, a higher proportion of CRT vehicles have fuel cards, as companies ensure their drivers have maximum service station network coverage along their varied transport routes. In future years, growing levels of transportation in the country will mean traditionally domestic fleets will need to use fuel cards.

Who are the key players in the Mexico fuel card market?

In 2020, the top three fuel card operators are Orsan, Sodexo, and BP, which made up to more than 45% of fuel card volumes. Orsan was the fuel card market leader in 2020, even after a marginal decline in its market share of 0.1 percentage points from 2019. Therefore, in order to compete with the market leaders, retailers such as Hidrosina and Gasmart need to invest in additional card services and expand their domestic card networks through new partnerships, as heightened competition will cause growth in the CRT market towards 2024. Card operators are thus creating new partnerships in order to expand their acceptance networks in urban and remote locations, as well as to meet the needs of CRT vehicle drivers and increase the appeal of their fuel cards to the segments.

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.”

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.
