Saudi Arabia Tire Market Overview

The growth of the automotive sector and the advancement of technology in Saudi Arabia are crucial for the economic growth of the country. The economical availability, supply chain, and transportation of vehicles are only a few of the variables that affect the Saudi Arabian vehicle sector. Since more people choose vehicles for personal travel, the passenger car industry is dominating the automobile market. Additionally, it is anticipated that future market expansion would be fueled by emerging trends like the electrification of vehicles, especially compact passenger automobiles. In order to keep up with the rising demand, some automakers have begun making large investments in the passenger car segment of the market.

The COVID-19 disruption, which had a disastrous effect on domestic sales, is slowing down Saudi Arabia's auto sector. Saudi Arabia's automotive sector is heavily reliant on imports from other places, resulting in slower growth. The Saudi Arabian automobile sector has faced challenges, yet it is currently starting to recover fully and reach its pre-pandemic sales volume levels. Additionally, with the inclusion of electric vehicles, the passenger car industry has already begun to grow in FY2022, which is expected to further increase domestic demand.
