Technavio’s fuels market analysis predicts that the global fuel market will grow at a sluggish CAGR of around 2% by 2020. At present, the market is witnessing the development of high-performance additives. High-performance fuel additives reduce maintenance costs, choking issues, and provide optimum performance. The use of such fuel additives will be a beneficial factor in improving the health and safety for maintenance people as these additives reduce the application of incompatible additive solutions in the fuel system. Some of the other advantages that these high-performance additives offer include cost-effectiveness, maintaining efficiency, environmental friendliness, reduced maintenance, improved thermal stability, and improved performance.
North America was the largest revenue contributing region in the market during 2015 and accounted for more than 35% of the overall fuel market share. Nearly two-thirds of the fuel consumed in North America is gasoline. However, with the growing preference for renewable fuel and more efficient engines, the consumption of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel during the forecast period is anticipated to decline. Moreover, factors like the implementation of regulatory restrictions on marine fuel and the high availability of natural gas are also diminishing the use of heavy oil fuel in the region.

The gasoline segment will continue to dominate the fuel market during the forecast period and is expected to occupy more than 41% of the total market revenue by 2020. Gasoline is the chief product refined from crude oil and one of the primary fuel consumed. It is mostly used in light sport vehicles, especially sport utility vehicles, cars, and small trucks, boats, small aircraft, farm, construction, and landscaping equipment. With the declining prices of crude oil, the demand for gasoline is expected to grow over the next four years.
The blending, shipping, and storage additives segment dominated the fuel market and accounted for around 69% of the total market share in 2015. Blending, shipping, and storage additives are chemicals that are added to gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel in the blend refinery plant and across the supply chain. These chemicals are added so that the fuel meets the required specifications while reducing the blending cost. Such additives are also used wherever products are refined, stored, and shipped to customers.
