Global Limousine & Town Car Services Procurement Trends
Discover the top international trends affecting procurement in the global Limousine & Town Car Services market.
Neutral
Crude oil prices dip, but natural gas and fuel prices remain volatile in 2025
- Oil prices have been falling with the introduction of higher tariffs and the predicted decline in global demand. The OPEC+ group of countries also announced they would be unwinding production cuts and increasing their collective output target for May by 411,000 barrels per day.
- Trade wars, ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel, and general unrest in the Middle East are causing uncertainty surrounding oil prices, which has led to volatility in prices. In the third week of May 2025, crude oil prices hit $63.67 per barrel, but volatility remains as geopolitical concerns remain.
- Natural gas prices rallied early in 2025 with colder-than-usual temperatures in the United States and high demand, topping out at $4.68/MMBtu in March. Prices have since fallen with the onset of trade wars and weakening demand projections to $3.64/MMBtu in the third week of May 2025.
- The national average of gasoline prices has been rising slightly due to refinery maintenance/outages and blending issues, hitting a national average of $3.15 per gallon in the third week of May 2025. However, gasoline futures have been volatile, falling due to fears of oversupply and deepening concerns about weakening demand with tariffs, but rising after trade deals.

Vendor & Supply Chain Analysis
The market consists primarily of small local businesses, many of which are owner-operators, although a few national and large regional companies also exist. The market has low barriers to entry, which contribute to low market share concentration and higher competition among suppliers and place downward pressure on prices.
On average, suppliers have a medium level of bankruptcy risk due partly to their moderate profit margins. As a result, buyers looking to contract services for the long term should ensure that their supplier is financially stable.
Despite the risk of fluctuating gas prices, buyers are not expected to experience any interruptions in service as a result of shortages in gasoline or other inputs due to the wide availability of fuel and vehicles. Buyers entering service agreements should negotiate the terms of fuel surcharges to limit the effect of any increase in fuel prices
The United States is a net exporter of fuel. This status boosts the economy and reduces energy dependence, but it can also cause price volatility in domestic fuel markets.
