Saudi Arabia passenger car market is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 3.82% by volume during the forecast period and is anticipated to reach USD16.70 billion by 2026. The Saudi Arabia passenger car market is driven by expanding road infrastructure and increasing per capita spending of the people in the region. In 2017, the ban on women driving was uplifted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and since then there is an increase in women drivers, hence the demand is expected to increase from this segment and is susceptible to propel the market in the forecast period as well.
The Saudi Arabia passenger car market is divided based on vehicle type, fuel type, transmission type, engine capacity and company. Based on vehicle type, the market can be classified into hatchback, sedan, pick-up cars, multi-purpose vehicles and sports utility vehicles. In terms of vehicle type, the sedan car segment accounts for the largest share but due to increasing traffic congestion and shortage of parking space by daily commuters, this segment is expected to lose market share. Based on fuel type, the market is majorly contributed by gasoline driven passenger cars due to comparatively low gasoline prices and this trend is susceptible to withstand in the forecast period as well. In the sedan segment, cars with engine capacity up to 2000cc are expected to hold majority shares, but due to the increasing demand for cars with higher engine capacities, cars with engine capacity below 2000cc are anticipated to register a slothful growth. Cars with automatic transmission account for the majority share in the Saudi Arabia passenger car market on account of ease of driving with stringent traffic rules across the region.
Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Company, Ltd., Hyundai Motor Company, Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, Kia Corporation, etc., are among some of the leading players operating in the Saudi Arabia passenger car market.
