ADNOC Distribution Achieves Significant Growth With 10.4% Increase In Non-Fuel Transactions For H1 2025

ADNOC Distribution experienced notable growth in its non-fuel retail sector during the first half of 2025. The number of retail outlets increased to 379, up from 365 in the same period last year. Bader Saeed Al Lamki, CEO of ADNOC Distribution, shared with the Emirates News Agency (WAM) that non-fuel transactions rose by 10.4%, reaching 26 million compared to 23.5 million in the first half of 2024.

The company is advancing its sustainability efforts by equipping over 50 service stations with solar energy in 2025. This initiative aligns with their commitment to enhancing energy efficiency and adopting sustainable solutions to support environmental objectives. Al Lamki highlighted that ADNOC Distribution serves more than 650,000 customers daily through a network exceeding 520 stores across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt.

Al Lamki emphasised that ADNOC Distribution is evolving into a retail company driven by artificial intelligence. Over 20 active initiatives are underway to optimise store distribution, personalise products, and enhance customer experience with targeted offers. He noted that the new Oasis by ADNOC brand identity received positive feedback from 90% of the public.

The relaunch of the Oasis by ADNOC brand identity marks a strategic transformation beyond just a name or logo change. It strengthens the company's position as a leading local destination for coffee and on-the-go shopping. This move supports their five-year strategy (2024–2028), which aims to double growth in non-fuel transactions and reduce reliance on conventional fuel revenues.

The new brand identity is being implemented across 379 stores, including over 250 outlets offering barista-prepared coffee. Additionally, expanded car services, integrated service centres, and partnerships with quick-service restaurants position ADNOC Distribution as a premier daily destination.

Al Lamki reported that total non-fuel profits grew by over 15%, driven by higher transaction volumes, improved conversion rates in retail stores, enhanced car wash services, and new property management initiatives. The first-half results of 2025 showed exceptional performance with overall profit increasing by 14.9% and transactions rising by 10.4%.

Operations within the UAE alone saw an increase of 11% daily. These outcomes highlight ADNOC Distribution's success in building a sustainable growth engine that enhances long-term shareholder value through high-margin strategies.
