Five major players hold 31% share of Saudi fuel station market

Five major companies hold a combined 31% share of Saudi Arabia’s fuel station market, including two listed firms — Aldrees Petroleum and Transport Services Co. (Aldrees) and Saudi Automotive Services Co. (SASCO).

Aldrees leads the market with a 16.2% share of total stations across the Kingdom, followed by SASCO (8.3%), J-Oil (2.3%), Mazaya Fuel (2.17%), and Aramco (roughly 2%).

Saudi Aramco earlier acquired Sahel Fuel to strengthen its presence in retail and distribution, while SASCO acquired NAFT Services Co. to expand its network and station count.

The remaining market share is held by smaller operators and individual investors, according to an Aldrees report.

The total number of fuel stations in the Kingdom has reached about 7,600 stations, of which Aldrees had 1,231 as of Sept. 30, 2025, compared with 630 stations for SASCO.

On the other hand, individually owned fuel stations have lost market share from around 90% in 2017. The share has been gradually shrinking as new companies enter the market and existing operators pursue acquisitions.
