Unmanned Fuel Retailing; Central and Eastern Europe Follow Scandinavia's Lead.DUBLIN Dublin, city, Republic of Ireland Dublin, Irish Baile Átha Cliath, county borough (1991 pop. 915,516), Leinster, capital of the Republic of Ireland, on Dublin Bay at the mouth of the Liffey River. , Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c42203) has announced the addition of Datamonitor's new report; Unmanned Fuel Retailing Sites in Europe to their offering. Unmanned sites account for over 40% of the fuel retailing networks of Scandinavian markets. This site concept is now being replicated by retailers in Central and Eastern Europe The term "Central and Eastern Europe" came into wide spread use, replacing "Eastern bloc", to describe former Communist countries in Europe, after the collapse of the Iron Curtain in 1989/90. . This brief details the size of the unmanned network in over 20 European European emanating from or pertaining to Europe. European bat lyssavirus see lyssavirus. European beech tree fagussylvaticus. European blastomycosis see cryptococcosis. markets, outlines the factors influencing the development of unmanned sites, and identifies the markets where the sector is experiencing growth. Scope of this title: --A comprehensive overview of the leading unmanned markets and the rate at which they have developed --An understanding of the operators exploiting the opportunities for unmanned site development in Central and Eastern Europe --A quantitative comparison of the major unmanned operators in Europe in terms of network size and plans for expansion Report Highlights: --Estonia, Lithuania and Poland have the highest penetration of unmanned sites into their networks in CEE cee n. The letter c. , a phenomenon which has been led by the entry of experienced unmanned players from the Scandinavian markets, such as Neste. --Switzerland has the highest penetration of unmanned sites of all the European markets, however, with new builds tending to include shops the penetration of unattended stations in the networks of most providers is set to decline. --In the Scandinavian markets with a high penetration of unmanned sites, plastic card usage for everyday purchases such as petrol petrol: see gasoline. is prevalent, and average card transaction values are in the region of 6 Euros. This compares to figures as high as 200 Euros elsewhere in Europe. Reasons to order your copy: --Assess the suitability of unmanned stations for your network and identify the factors that will make it a success. --Evaluate Europe's key unmanned fuel retailing markets and identify those which are set to grow. --Identify the leaders of unmanned site development in less mature automatic fuel retailing markets. Contents: OUR VIEW CATALYST SUMMARY METHODOLOGY ANALYSIS Price is not the core reason why customers choose unmanned sites. High price differentials between attended and unattended sites have often been a product of unmanned market immaturity im·ma·ture adj. 1. Not fully grown or developed. See Synonyms at young. 2. Marked by or suggesting a lack of normal maturity: silly, immature behavior. . Convenience is the most desirable aspect of unmanned site usage. CEE players have adopted the unmanned site concept as a way of maintaining network efficiency and geographic coverage. Neste and Hydro Texaco have been strong advocates of unmanned fuel retailing sites in the Central and Eastern European markets. Lukoil and PKN Orlen PKN Orlen (Polish: Polski Koncern Naftowy Orlen) is a major European oil refiner, and petrol retailer. The company as of June 2006 is Poland's and Central Europe's largest publicly traded firm with major operations in Poland, Czech are refining refining, any of various processes for separating impurities from crude or semifinished materials. It includes the finer processes of metallurgy, the fractional distillation of petroleum into its commercial products, and the purifying of cane, beet, and maple sugar their fuel retailing propositions with unmanned sites. The Nordic markets illustrate the importance of balancing fuel sales maximisation and non-fuels development. Switzerlands new builds will tend to include shops resulting in a decrease in the penetration of unattended stations in the networks of most providers. Swedens unmanned fuel retailing market has scope for further penetration as demonstrated in the interest of both large and small players to expand in this sector. Denmark will witness further consolidation as the OK acquisition of DK Benzin benzin /ben·zin/ (ben´zin) petroleum benzin; see under petroleum . allows it to further expand its unmanned network. New builds in Finland will continue to be biased towards unmanned sites with shop investment mainly occurring for larger sized convenience stores The following is a list of convenience stores organized by geographical location. Stores are grouped by the lowest heading that contains all locales in which the brands have significant presence. . The current penetration of unmanned sites demonstrates that the potential for the site format is far from exhausted. There is an enormous disparity dis·par·i·ty n. pl. dis·par·i·ties 1. The condition or fact of being unequal, as in age, rank, or degree; difference: "narrow the economic disparities among regions and industries" between European markets in terms of the penetration of unmanned sites into the fuel retailing network. Although Europe has witnessed a large decline in the size of its networks, growth in the number of unmanned sites is noteworthy. Over half of Europes fuel retailing markets have fewer than 100 unmanned sites in their fuel station network.
