Market dimensions
PK is an attractive market for growth, with strong underlying macroeconomic indicators, driven by a large, young, urban population, high investment in infrastructural development projects and growing middle class.
Shell has been operating in the market for over 100 years and has been the leading International Oil Marketing Company in Pakistan, with the highest Brand Share of Preference. Mobility has been the leading business in the country, supported by a strong delivering Lubricants business and Aviation presence in major cities.
Over the last ten years, while competition has invested heavily in Supply infrastructure and Mobility footprint, Shell has consolidated its Mobility footprint and optimized supply chain resulting in elimination of historical competitive advantage and weakening the high Brand Share of Preference.
Number of oil marketing companies have grown up from 3 in 2001 to 36 in 2023. The industry is adding up 550-600 new sites every year putting lot of pressure on R.O.I & sites yield.
With strengths in network presence in Urban centres, established Lubricants portfolio in the Mobility channel, tested Integrated Mobility Offers on RBA-like consignment stock platform & market leadership in Premium Fuels Portfolio (Shell V-Power), Shell can monetize Mobility Real Estate better than competition, given complete operational control on decisions on the site.
The strategy intends to grow through a) Regaining Operational Control through Operating Platform Change (RBA), Strengthening RVP & Frontline Capability Development (TMs, Mobilities, Site Staff) b) Competitive Supply & Distribution Costs through government advocacy, optimization of facilities footprint & driving efficiencies in Road Transport and c) High grading the Mobility Portfolio through high yielding investments on current footprint.
Challenges
Integrated Non-Fuel Retailing (NFR) into site designing and growth plans through an Integrated Mobility Offer is critical to growth of Mobility business in Pakistan. Capability to understand customer needs is essential, especially in the PK market which has been fuels centric in its approach to business.
Network Growth in PK is constrained due regulatory requirement for 20 Day Storage cover at a provincial level. As such the key focus area of the Network team will be to identify opportunities to maximize returns from the current real estate portfolio.
Key areas for growth are through effective partnerships with Institutions. Developing & maintaining deeply entrenched relationships with institutions like DHA, Pakistan Army, Police Welfare, Bahria will be essential in securing high throughput RBA/RFA Sites in the future.
With new OMCs actively growing Mobility Network and offering exponentially higher real estate rentals, the cost of RE is expected to grow significantly. Managing this escalation by working closely with Marketing, Operations and Sales will be critical to managing cost base in Real Estate.
