What are the market dynamics in the US fuel cards industry?
The number of fuel cards in the US has been increasing since 2015. Both international and domestic trade were affected by COVID-19 restrictions, CRT vehicles were not as hard hit as they were still required to transport essential supplies. In the US, most of the CRT vehicles have at least one fuel card, as companies ensure their drivers have maximum service station network coverage along their varied transport routes. In the future, growing levels of international trade across North America will encourage traditionally domestic fleets to use fuel cards in neighboring countries. By 2024, card operators should ensure that they create new partnerships domestically and in neighboring countries in order to expand their acceptance networks in urban and remote locations, as well as to meet fleet needs and increase the appeal of their fuel cards to drivers of fleet vehicles.
Due to its extensive vaccination program, the US is projected to begin its recovery from the second wave of COVID-19 by the end of Q2 2021. As a result, international trade levels in North America will increase in the forecast period, and many traditionally domestic fleets will expand their businesses into surrounding countries. This new business will encourage many fleets to turn to fuel cards to take advantage of international card acceptance and additional services.
What are the key channels in the US fuel cards market?
The key channels in the US fuel cards market are fleet cards and CRT cards.
Fleet cards segment in the US fuel cards market
Fuel sold from fleet cards posted continual growth during 2015-2019. However, as the COVID-19 situation improves from Q3 2021, fleet card volumes are set to increase during the forecast period. To reduce costs in order to remain competitive, domestic fleets in the US are increasingly opting for fuel cards. Furthermore, as card operators introduce lower volume limits to target this growing market segment, there will likely be an influx of small to medium-sized fleets in the fuel card market.
CRT cards segment in the US fuel cards market
Major contributors to the fuel sold to CRT vehicles include rising levels of international transport, as well as logistics companies’ need to use the additional services offered by fuel card operators. Competition is high in the US CRT card market, with many card operators offering similar services. This can make it difficult to distinguish one card offering from another, which results in many CRT vehicles having multiple fuel cards. It is therefore vital that fuel card operators appeal to drivers, as well as fleet managers, in order to ensure that their card is preferred over competitors’ offerings. With multiple cards per vehicle, it is often left up to the driver to decide where to refuel and which card to use. In order to increase CRT card volumes, card operators should invest in services for drivers to encourage them to use a specific card. Card operators should focus on driver services such as discounted meal deals, wash facilities, truck parking, overnight parking, free Wi-Fi, outside eating areas, and driver loyalty programs. These will help operators to differentiate their offerings and increase CRT volumes toward 2024.
