UAE automotive aftermarket is anticipated to grow at a steady CAGR in the forecast period, 2024-2028.

Rise In Production and Sales of Vehicles Drives the Market Growth
Due to the stable fuel prices and high disposable income, there is high demand for private vehicles among consumers. In 2020, 158,711 total vehicles were sold in UAE. Rapid industrialization and urbanization support the development of supportive transportation infrastructure in the country. The rise in awareness among consumers about the benefits of regular check-ups and maintenance of vehicles contributes to market growth. Also, the growing popularity of the used car market among consumers due to its high affordability over buying new cars is expected to influence the market demand. Used vehicles are more prone to getting damaged by part failure or wear or tear of the automotive components and require automotive aftermarket services. The growing number of retailers providing automotive aftermarket services to meet the increasing consumer requirements is expected to accelerate the market demand in the next five years.

Increase in Vehicle Safety Concern Fuels the Market Growth
According to the World Health Organization, almost two people die every day in UAE due to road accidents. The rising number of road accidents is leading to a surge in demand for aftermarket components to replace the components having wear and tear. The government has implemented strict vehicle safety regulations to combat and reduce the number of road accidents happening every day. Based on government regulations, passenger car tires must be sold within two years of their manufacturing date and should be replaced within five years. Vehicle owners who cannot adhere to the guidelines are fined heavily, thereby fueling the need for timely service and maintenance. Lighting, tires, oil, and transmission fluids, the suspension system should be checked regularly as a part of preventive maintenance and regular check-up to avoid the occurrence of road accidents. The growing consumer awareness and vehicle safety concerns are expected to bolster the demand for UAE automotive aftermarkets over the next five years.
