Filling Station and Gas Station Market in China Region 2015

Filling Stations

By the end of 2014, China had run a total of 99,000 filling stations, each of which served 1,456 civilian cars; Shandong, Hebei, Henan, Guangdong and Jiangsu ranked top five by the number of filling stations, especially Shandong province had 10,000 ones (it also held the most civilian cars in China with a fast growth rate). In terms of the number of civilian cars served by a filling station, Beijing, Zhejiang, Tianjin, Guangdong and Jiangsu saw each filling station support more than 2,000 civilian cars, particularly Beijing even witnessed 4,900.

Regarding enterprises, Sinopec occupies 31.0% of filling stations in the country, remaining first by number. As of the end of 2014, it had possessed 30,551 filling stations, including 30,538 self-operated ones and 13 franchised ones.

Since Sinopec took the lead to introduce private capital to the field of refined oil products in February 2014, state-owned oil and gas giants (PetroChina, CNOOC, etc.) have been constantly promoting mixed ownership reforms. Sinopec sells its 29.99% stake of its sales companies to realize its mixed ownership reform. PetroChina deepens the reform to the highly monopolized oil and gas exploitation field. As more capital rushes into the oil and gas industry, particularly in the marketing field, the operating modes (such as startup, acquisition, leasing, joint ventures and franchising, etc.) and service modes (introduction of the Internet, open platforms for partners, penetration in all life services) of filling stations will be further optimized, new business models will mushroom, and the filling station industry will seize higher profit margins.
