Rising Fuel Consumption Drives North America Aviation Fuel Card Market
Due to the high demand for air travel, overall fuel consumption has increased. In 2022, US airlines carried 194 million more passengers than in 2021, an increase of 30% year on year. From January to December of 2022, US airlines handled 853 million passengers, up from 658 million in 2021 and 388 million in 2020.
According to the data published by the International Council on Clean Transportation in 2019, in 2018, domestic airlines in the US consumed 12.5 billion gallons of fuel, a 17% increase since 2009. As per forecasts provided by the US Department of Energy in 2020, the global commercial jet fuel market, which currently consumes 106 billion gallons, is expected to grow more than 230 billion gallons by 2050. Thus, the above statistics indicate that fuel consumption is increasing with a rise in air travel. Historically, the aviation industry has paid for fuel in a variety of ways, depending on the fuel industry's economic conditions and agreements in existence. Airlines and other aviation industries frequently purchase fuel on the spot market, either directly from oil companies or through fuel brokers. However, traditional methods are way more expensive as many stakeholders were present in the process. Fuel card has enabled the airline to purchase directly from certified suppliers or the production company. In addition, fuel card allows fuel consumption and tracking, which further helps consumption optimization. Thus, growing air travel has increased overall fuel consumption, which drives the adoption of fuel cards owing to various benefits such as discounts, cost tracking, and fuel quality.
