Highlights

The German service station network has been contracting for well over a decade. In the year to January 2011, the number of sites in Germany declined marginally. Most major players decreased their site numbers except Jet, which added 10 sites to its network. Aral has also announced its plans to expand its network by 150 sites by 2017.

Fuel consumption in Germany increased marginally by 0.6% in 2010 on the back of higher diesel sales, while gasoline sales continued their downward trend. Aral retained its top position in terms of fuel volume share and was closely followed by Shell in the second position.

Germany has an extremely high shop penetration, with 94.8% of all service stations featuring a shop. Aral has the highest number of sites with a shop, with all of its sites featuring a forecourt shop. Germany also has a high proportion of sites with a car wash due to government regulations that prevent consumers from washing their cars at home.
