The Shift Towards Digital Payments and the Rise of European Gasoline Cards in 2032

When individuals contemplate embracing a novel digital payment method, they tend to prioritize functional attributes and features over the identity of the service provider. In almost all cases, participants express a preference for financial institutions such as banks, central banks, or European regulatory bodies over large technology corporations. This preference stems from the perception that banks and central banks are more dependable, trustworthy, and secure providers.

The anticipated growth in demand for European gasoline cards is driven by the advantages they offer. Multinational companies can effectively manage their travel expenses by utilizing these European fuel cards, facilitating convenient refueling across Europe and allowing businesses to maintain their operations seamlessly. Key benefits associated with the European Gasoline Card include access to fuel discounts, simplified payment of road tolls, streamlined account management, assistance with HMRC account submissions, and support for corporate sustainability initiatives. Due to these factors, it is expected that the European market will capture a substantial 32.3% share of the market in 2032.

Insights by Category

In contrast to the over-the-road category, the global market for fuel cards is predominantly dominated by the commercial fleet segment. It is projected that by the year 2032, the commercial fleet segment will create an additional transactional value opportunity exceeding US$ 2,725.3 billion. In contrast, the over-the-road fleet segment is experiencing a slower rate of growth. This deceleration is attributed to a lack of awareness regarding the advantages of going digital and increasing concerns about card skimming among end-users worldwide.

In 2021, the commercial fleet segment, which primarily comprises truck fleet operators on the road and boasts a significant growth rate, held over 85% of the market share in terms of value.

The expanding logistics industry plays a pivotal role in driving the increased adoption of fuel cards. As the demand for petrol and gasoline continues to rise within the logistics sector, particularly due to the growth of the e-commerce industry, the fuel card market is expected to see continued growth. Furthermore, the integration of digital technologies and culture is leading to the emergence of new applications, such as enhanced truck and trailer telematics. Additionally, AI-based optimization techniques are helping to reduce expenses, minimize underutilization, and alleviate congestion within the industry.
