Petrol station owner type numbers in the United Kingdom (UK) 2000-2020

Published by N. Sönnichsen, Feb 10, 2021
Dealers owned petrol stations have by far the largest number of operational sites, with 5,384 open sites as of 2020. Nonetheless, total number of petrol station sites declined since 2000 by around a third. The number of petrol stations owned by hypermarkets grew, but continued to hold the smallest share of petrol station sites up until 2015, when a sharp reduction in the number of companies owning sites moved them to second in the list.

Despite the low number of petrol stations owned by hypermarkets, the volume of motor fuel sold in the United Kingdom by these sites was by far higher compared to the other ownership petrol stations. In 2020, hypermarkets sold 10,608 kiloliters of motor fuel annually, while dealer sites sold an average 2,476 kiloliter per annum.
