Shell is the leading fuel station brand in the Netherlands. As of June 2022, the British-Dutch oil and gas giant lent its name to 412 gas and petrol stations in the country, not counting express fuel stations. The total number of petrol stations in the Netherlands reached 4,135 units in 2022, a figure that also includes unmanned stations.
Rise of unmanned fuel stations
When looking at a breakdown of petrol stations by manned and unmanned services, a significant development can be seen. In 2003, 3,661 manned and 575 unmanned gasoline stations were recorded in the Netherlands and by 2020, the number of manned petrol stations had decreased to 1,867. On the other hand, in 2020 there were 2,280 unmanned stations.
Financial performance of fuel stations
Taking into account the decline in manned petrol stations, there was also a decrease in estimated revenue of petrol stations in the Netherlands in recent years. In 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic resulted in lockdowns across the world, consumer demand for motor fuels and other liquid fuels took a severe hit. This is also reflected in the revenue decline noted for 2020, with petrol stations making an estimated 16.1 billion euros.
