Growing Automotive Industry Drives the Market Demand
Saudi’s prefer to travel by using their private vehicles owing to extreme weather conditions and high per capita income. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has recently lifted the ban on women driving vehicles by themselves, increasing the number of women drivers in the country. Around 387.70 thousand passenger cars were sold in 2021 in Saudi Arabia, and this number is expected to grow in the next five years. The National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) is working to attract automotive original equipment manufacturers to produce 300,000 vehicles annually with local production of 40% by 2030 to achieve the targets set by Saudi Vision 2030. They are offering incentives, income tax exemptions, and loans with low-interest rates to automobile manufacturers, which is expected to boost the growth of the automotive industry. Intense competition among the automotive market players is making them invest in cutting-edge technologies and equipment, which is anticipated to significantly propel the demand for automotive sensors through the next five years.
High Production and Sales of Electric Vehicles Spurs the Market Growth
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia leading authorities are working on reducing the dependency on the oil & gas industry and generating new income sources to strengthen the economic status. Improved living standards of consumers and growing awareness about the adverse effect of greenhouse emissions on the environment are expected to boost the demand for electric vehicles in the country. Saudi Arabia has pledged to lower its carbon emissions to net zero by 2060 and has said that at least 30% of cars in Riyadh will be electric vehicles by 2030. The electric vehicle industry is still at an early stage. The total electric vehicle penetration in Saudi Arabia is less than 1%, which offers significant growth avenues to electric vehicle manufacturers. Also, the rise in efforts to develop supportive charging infrastructure is expected to support the growth of the electric vehicle industry in Saudi Arabia.
Electric vehicles employ several automotive sensors such as engine speed, temperature, vehicle speed, throttle position, and other sensors. With the growth of the electric vehicle industry, the demand for Saudi Arabia automotive sensors market is expected to witness significant growth in the forecast period.
Increasing Demand for Vehicle Safety Influences the Market Growth
