In 2023, Germany led the European motor gasoline market (excluding biofuel) with a significant share of 20.63 thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. The United Kingdom (13.48) and France (10.21) followed. The last year saw a shift in consumption with the highest increases in Belgium (+4.72%), Poland (+2.32%), and Hungary (+2.69%). Major decreases were noted in Ukraine (-36.92%), Ireland (-5.54%), and Norway (-4.77%). The overall trend from 2019 to 2023 reflects a complex market adapting to regional energy policies, economic factors, and fluctuating demand patterns.
Looking forward, the European motor gasoline market is likely to experience further fragmentation. Factors such as shifts towards greener fuel alternatives, evolving consumer preferences, and tighter regulatory measures will shape the landscape. Notably, countries such as Poland and Belgium are expected to continue their growth trajectory, while traditional large consumers like Germany may see a gradual decline as they pivot towards sustainable energy solutions. Watch for advancements in alternative fuel technologies and changes in EU energy regulations which could significantly impact future trends.
