The 2025 Downstream Fuel Industry Report

In partnership with NACS Research, Titan Cloud surveyed fuel retail executives to uncover how they are shaping the downstream fuel supply chain. This report provides a true benchmark for the industry—covering growth trends, operational challenges, and strategies to manage rising fuel costs.

With U.S. fuel consumption expected to level off in 2025 before declining in 2026 (EIA), fuel retailers can no longer rely on growing demand to drive profits. Cost optimization and operational efficiency are now top priorities, all while ensuring a seamless customer experience at the pump.

From mid-size operators to expansive chains, the leaders we surveyed share key insights on: 

• Strategic priorities fuel retailers are focusing on for the next 3–5 years 

• Managing operational challenges that impact profitability

• Navigating rising operational costs in an uncertain market 

• Approaching supply & logistics management to maintain efficiency
• Tracking and managing inventory to improve cost control
