Insights by Echo AI
In Russia, the number of independent gas station liquidations has surpassed new registrations for the first time since 2022. From January to September 2026, 935 companies and entrepreneurs left the market, a 16.7% increase from the previous year, while the number of new participants decreased by 28.4% to 668. The contraction is attributed to fuel supply disruptions, rising wholesale gasoline and diesel prices, increased costs, unplanned refinery repairs, and reduced oil companies' normative stock exchange sales.
