The transportation fuel market has been segmented on the basis of fuel type as gasoline, diesel, aviation turbine fuel (ATF), and others. Gasoline was the largest segment of the transportation fuel market globally, accounting for more than 40% of the global share in 2013. Consumption of gasoline was augmented by a large number of gasoline vehicles across the globe, especially in the U.S. However, the gasoline market is hampered by stringent emission regulations. The environmental regulatory bodies in North America and Europe have set emission targets. In order to achieve these targets, OEMs are improving engine technologies to reduce emissions and enhance fuel economy. This is anticipated to hamper the demand for gasoline during the forecast period. Diesel was the second-largest segment of the transportation fuel market globally, accounting for more than 35% of the overall transportation fuel consumption in 2013. Diesel is majorly consumed by commercial vehicles in developing economies due to increasing industrialization and infrastructure development.
