- As per Turkey’s Investment Office (Invest in Türkiye), the automotive industry achieved a record export value of $35 billion in 2023, positioning itself as the 12th largest automotive manufacturer globally.

- Invest in Türkiye also noted that the country hosts around 162 R&D and design centers for automotive manufacturers and suppliers, with major global brands like Ford, Fiat, Daimler, etc., establishing base. Additionally, the localization rate of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) ranges between 50% and 70%, which is crucial for the development of semiconductor technology for the automotive industry.

- The Turkish government further supports the automotive industry through various initiatives, which further creates opportunities for the studied market. For instance, the country’s Medium-Term Program (2024-2026) emphasizes high-value production, digital transformation, and export growth.

Market Forecast for Saudi Arabia

The automotive semiconductor market in Saudi Arabia is experiencing notable growth, driven by strategic initiatives and significant investments from the government. The Saudi Vision 2030, which aims to diversify and modernize the economy, includes substantial efforts to localize the semiconductor industry. Key to this growth is the partnership between the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and Alat, a Public Investment Fund (PIF) company. This partnership focuses on localization of the semiconductor industry through research, innovation, and the creation of a skilled workforce.

Additionally, the establishment of the Saudi National Semiconductor Hub aims to attract over SR1 billion in investment, supporting the design and manufacturing of electronic chips. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to localize semiconductor technology capabilities, which is expected to benefit various sectors, including automotive, AI, and renewable energy.

The market’s segmentation includes type of vehicle, application, type of fuel, and component. The type of vehicle segment consists of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles.

Passenger cars are the most ubiquitous form of transportation across the globe. Significant investments are directed into the ongoing enhancement of various design elements, including performance, materials, mechanical systems, engines and fuels (including electric power supply), pollution reduction, autonomous control, and ergonomics. Semiconductors play a crucial role as they are essential for various functionalities, including the operation of electric powertrains and the enhancement of safety features through ADAS. Semiconductors also enable the control systems that underpin autonomous driving technologies and ensure efficient energy use, contributing to overall vehicle performance.
