Competitive Landscape for Cosan Limited
Demand for petroleum comes mainly from auto and truck use and home heating. Profitability is determined by the efficiency of operations. Most companies are local and operate a single "bulk station" (tank farm), although the large companies may operate a dozen facilities and serve several states. Large wholesale purchasers generally can negotiate bigger price discounts from suppliers and spread the cost of bulk holding facilities over a larger number of gallons. An economic recession or dramatic price fluctuations, such as those that occurred in the first half of 2008, reduce demand for gasoline. Concerns about US dependency on foreign fuel and environmental issues also impact demand. Any decline in demand can adversely affect petroleum distributors.
