case became aware of the intention of the three oil to find a buyer for its gas.

Among the reasons that force the owners of gas stations to make the sale of its assets, are the increased debt obligations of companies, the inability to attract new funds, as well as falling demand for petroleum products. Another important factor in provoking redivision market is dumping on the part of the Inside, the controlling network Sentoza, Ukrnafta, Avias , ANP, etc.

Several market participants reported on the network of filling stations selling Kalina LTD, which has about 80 outlets in different regions of Ukraine. Owners of companies intend to implement some of its petrol stations, - said one of the interlocutors to make. Executive Director of the Network Fedyun Edward refused any comment on this information.

The company reported that it was not willing to advertise information about a possible sale, not by becoming a correspondent to answer questions.

insufferable dumping

Among the potential buyers podeshevevshih filling station market participants called the first group Privat. At this point, the expert estimates, it has concentrated in his hands for about 25% of all stations of the country. Now, the Inside has all the conditions in order to increase their share. In the coming years this will be the biggest player on the Ukrainian market, - predicts analyst consulting company UPECO Alexander Sirenko.

Operators confirm the huge impact of a major player in their business. Usually, we focus on the market at the normal margin. But the last few days have been sold at prices offered by the Inside. However, our economy is quite different - not its processing, access to cheap oil, and others. It turns out that we work with meager margins, selling gasoline at 6.4 grn. per liter instead of 6.6 grn. per liter, which is not sufficient for the normal operation of the company , - said Vladislav Petrov.

According to the director of consulting company A-95 by Sergey Kuyuna massive transactions, mergers and acquisitions in the retail market of oil products has not yet been observed because the potential buyers are waiting for the fall in prices at the gas station. With that in recent times they have already significantly cheaper. In the middle of last year, one station could cost up to $ 5-6 million, but now the average price of the gas station is $ 1 million

addition to Private, buying up Ukrainian gas stations may take up companies that have Russian roots. Until recently, and TNK-BP and Lukoil have preferred to base their fuel than to buy someone else's, but with declining prices, most likely, theybuy a number of small networks, - summarizes Sergei Kuyun.
