Understand and Examine Petroleum and PetroleumProducts Wholesalers in the United States.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82459) has announced the addition of "Petroleum and Petroleum Products Wholesalers (except Bulk Stations and Terminals)" in the US to their offering.

The US Petroleum and Petroleum Products Wholesalers

(except Bulk Stations and Terminals) industry distributes most of the same products as does NAICS 42271 'Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals wholesalers' but on a smaller scale. Therefore, it purchases the petroleum product raw materials directly from these bulk stations and sells them to retailers such as gas stations, car parts retailers, warehouses/superstores, supermarkets, as well as to manufacturers, and natural gas retail distributors. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.

Slippery Prices

The performance of the Non-bulk Petroleum Wholesaling industry will continue to depend heavily on trends in oil prices and demand for refined products. This means that petroleum product prices remain vulnerable to shocks, as there is always the potential for political events or natural disasters to give rise to sharp and substantial movements in oil prices. In a climate of finely balanced supply and demand, buyers are likely to respond to disruptions in supply by bidding prices up.
