Report

Saudi Arabia electric vehicle market is projected to register growth at a significant rate during the forecast period, 2023-2027. The market growth can be attributed to the government's increasing focus on the adoption of renewable energy and the rise in efforts to reduce dependency on the oil & gas industry. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060 while maintaining its leadership position in the oil and gas industry. Furthermore, the thriving transportation and logistics industry due to ongoing commercial and trade activities and consumers' growing preference for private vehicle ownership are expected to boost demand for Saudi Arabia's electric vehicle market.
The Saudi Ministry of Investment ("MISA"), the Saudi Industrial Development Fund ("SIDF"), and the Economic City at King Abdullah Economic City ("KAEC") have signed an agreement to accelerate and meet the emission targets set by leading authorities. Lucid has announced plans to invest in developing the advanced electric vehicle manufacturing industry to meet the growing demand for electric vehicles. The new manufacturing plant in King Abdullah Economic City aims to build around 150,000 vehicles per year by utilizing US research and development technical expertise to assemble better-performing versions of electric vehicles. The establishment of a new plant is expected to generate numerous job opportunities and aid in the development of people's skills. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia and Taiwan's Foxconn Technology Group are likely to collaborate to accelerate the country's development of electric vehicles. Increased interest of companies in investing in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to develop electric vehicle infrastructure is likely to drive market growth over the next five years.
The demand for alternate energy or renewable energy is expected to rise to reduce pollution and find energy sources that do not harm the environment. Saudi Arabia included its carbon-cutting targets for 2030 in its first nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. In addition, the Saudi government announced a target of 30 percent electric vehicles in Riyadh by 2030, which is expected to boost electric vehicle sales across the country. The National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) aims to attract significant original equipment manufacturers in Saudi Arabia to boost the production and sales of electric vehicles in the country, according to Saudi Vision 2030 goals.
Saudi Arabia and the United Kingdom have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to reduce carbon emissions and support sustainable energy sources to meet the Saudi Vision 2030 targets. According to the memorandum of understanding (MoU), both countries will collaborate and share expertise to develop technologies to reduce greenhouse emissions and construct electric vehicles and smart grids.
