Highlights

The service station network in Norway is extremely consolidated, with the top five players by market share accounting for over 85% of all service stations in the country. All major players divested sites in 2010, with Shell's network contracting by over 20 sites. Overall, the total number of service stations fell by 1% during 2010.

Total fuel volume sales in Norway declined for the second consecutive year in 2010. Both diesel and petrol consumption declined by over 1%. Despite weaker demand for fuel, soaring prices resulted in total service station fuel sales values increasing by 16% in 2010.

Shops are located at about 70% of all service stations in the country, making Norway a very mature market in comparison to other Scandinavian countries. Over half of all service stations in Norway feature a car wash facility.
