Harsh Climate Leading to Increased Replacement Ratio
Saudi Arabia experiences extreme hot weather, with the nation's average high temperature greater than 100 °F (38 °C). The country has a 34% sand cover as well. Lack of vegetation in the nation's sandy regions causes the soil to become more porous and leads to more sandstorm activity, which also raises summertime temperatures. As a result, during the trip, the air conditioners in vehicles are typically on. Continuous air conditioner use shortens the lifespan of air conditioning systems and the parts that make them up, which increases the need for frequent car part replacement. Additionally, because of sandstorms, filter elements such as air filters and oil filters need to be changed frequently. The challenging weather has led to an increase in the frequency of replacement of spare parts components, thereby driving the Saudi Arabia spare parts market.
