Cross-border comparison

Esso either side of the border .

Two networks of incomparable size only compare at equal population. Brought back to 100,000 inhabitants, the counts become readable side by side — and the gap points either to room for development or to saturation.

Reading the figures

The 1,062 stations are a record drawn from Foursquare Open Places, not a count published by the brand — this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish.

The reach indicators — coverage, index by region — are robust to that bias: they measure a distance and a population, which a location described twice does not move. Recorded 27 October 2026.

Frequently asked questions about Esso in Italy

Everything you need to know about our solutions.

How many stations does Esso have in Italy?

The record of 27 October 2026 identifies 1,062 Esso stations in Italy, across 20 regions. This is a record, not an official count: this country has not been calibrated yet — its recorded counts have not been confronted with the network sizes brands publish. The figure serves to compare networks rather than to count stores.

What share of Italy does Esso reach?

56.8 % of the population lives within 5 kilometres of an Esso, and 78.8 % within 10 kilometres. Coverage counts each population cell once, however many locations reach it, which makes it insensitive to the double-counting that affects raw location totals.

Is Esso denser in Italy or in France?

Per 100,000 inhabitants, Esso has 1.80 stations in Italy against 0.78 in France — a density 130 % higher. Both records come from the same source and the same method, which is the condition for the gap to mean anything.
