Oman Automotive Market to Grow with a CAGR of 7.60% through 2030
Rising vehicle ownership, expansion of aftermarket services, and
increasing demand for premium and technologically advanced vehicles are the
factors driving the market in the forecast period 2026–2030.
According to TechSci Research report, “Oman Automotive Market – Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast, 2020-2030F”,
The Oman Automotive Market was valued at USD 3.12 Billion in 2024 and is expected
to reach USD 4.84 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.60% during the forecast
period.
The Oman automotive market is transitioning through a phase defined by
evolving transportation needs, consumer lifestyle shifts, and infrastructure development.
Unlike the earlier focus on consumer purchasing power, the current growth
landscape is shaped by structural transformation in freight mobility,
institutional fleet modernization, and public-private initiatives in transport
digitization. Government-led urban planning and road network expansion have
amplified connectivity between interior towns and industrial zones, driving
demand for vehicles across various utility spectrums. This shift is not only
prompting growth in light commercial vehicles but also creating demand for
utility-focused passenger cars optimized for intercity travel.
A defining feature of the market is the rise in institutional
procurement of vehicles by logistics firms, leasing companies, and fleet
operators who are focused on reliability, lower maintenance costs, and extended
lifecycle value. These organizations are showing preference for robust models
tailored for rough terrain, temperature durability, and longer service
intervals. In parallel, consumers are showing increasing interest in
value-for-money offerings such as compact sedans, entry-level SUVs, and multipurpose
utility vehicles that deliver balanced performance and economic fuel
consumption. Seasonal buying behavior linked with tax-free periods, religious
holidays, and promotional campaigns also influences demand patterns, with
vehicle imports timed to coincide with anticipated spikes.
Financing options are playing a transformative role, with new models
such as Islamic-compliant vehicle leasing (Ijara) gaining ground alongside
conventional bank financing. These financial solutions are supported by digital
onboarding processes and credit-scoring platforms that simplify approvals and
widen access to ownership. Moreover, insurance bundling, fuel discount tie-ups,
and mobile maintenance apps are reshaping the post-purchase ecosystem,
enhancing customer satisfaction and retention. The emergence of vehicle
customization and accessories markets has opened new business streams for
dealerships, particularly in areas like aesthetic upgrades, multimedia kits,
and off-road enhancements.
Electric and hybrid vehicles are receiving regulatory encouragement, yet
their penetration is still limited due to infrastructure gaps and consumer
concerns about charging convenience and cost of ownership. However, strategic
moves by government-backed industrial hubs and free zones to pilot clean
transport corridors are setting the groundwork for long-term sustainability.
Furthermore, digital transformation of vehicle registration, taxation, and
service tracking is introducing efficiencies into ownership cycles, helping
authorities better manage traffic, emissions, and inspection timelines.

Oman Automotive Market Is Segmented by Vehicle
Type, Propulsion Type, Transmission Type, and By Region.
In 2024, the electric
vehicle (EV) segment emerged as the fastest-growing propulsion category in
Oman’s automotive market, driven by a surge in infrastructure planning,
awareness campaigns, and green transport incentives. While internal combustion
engine (ICE) vehicles continue to dominate in volume, the pace at which EV
adoption is rising reflects a shifting consumer sentiment and gradual market
transformation. The expansion of charging networks in key urban centers, the
introduction of preferential policies such as customs fee reductions, and the
rollout of demonstration fleets across urban transportation corridors have
catalyzed interest in electric mobility. Consumers are increasingly attracted
to the long-term cost savings, lower maintenance needs, and smooth driving
experience associated with electric powertrains. Institutional buyers are
playing a pivotal role in this growth, particularly in fleet renewals for urban
logistics and corporate mobility services, where total cost of ownership and
sustainability reporting are critical performance factors.
The appeal of EVs is
strengthened by tech-forward features such as regenerative braking, battery
health monitoring, and seamless digital integration that are becoming important
differentiators in the new vehicle purchase decision. Retail buyers are also responding
to brand-led educational efforts, improved financing options tailored for
electric models, and real-time assistance through digital sales platforms. As
the segment expands, demand is increasing for supporting services such as
EV-focused insurance plans, portable home chargers, and certified technician
availability, which collectively enhance consumer confidence. Despite EVs still
forming a small fraction of total vehicle registrations, the triple-digit
percentage growth in 2024 indicates that electric mobility is progressing from
an experimental choice to a viable mainstream alternative for Omani consumers
and institutions.
Among all governorates, Al
Batinah South witnessed the fastest growth in electric vehicle adoption during
2024. This region benefited from a combination of expanding urban
infrastructure, dense population clusters, and targeted deployment of EV
charging stations across key municipalities and transport nodes. Its strategic
proximity to the capital region facilitated the early rollout of charging
facilities and test programs by institutional fleet operators. Awareness
activities in the form of roadshows and localized campaigns also saw strong
public engagement, contributing to rising interest in EV ownership. Local
dealerships in Al Batinah South reported increased footfall driven by queries
around electric mobility, ownership costs, and aftersales support, signaling a
fundamental shift in buyer preferences. The region’s rising share in EV
adoption reflects how localized infrastructure planning and consumer readiness
can converge to accelerate transformation in propulsion trends within Oman’s
automotive landscape.
