Middle East & Africa SUV Market to Grow with a CAGR of 3.65% through 2030
Rising consumer preference for off-road versatility,
growing demand for premium and mid-size utility vehicles, and increasing
urbanization with improved road infrastructure are the factors driving the
market in the forecast period 2026–2030.
According to TechSci Research report, “Middle East
& Africa SUV Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Middle East & Africa SUV Market
was valued at USD 63.23 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 78.40
Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.65% during the forecast period.
The Middle East & Africa SUV market is gaining momentum
due to shifting transportation needs influenced by geographic diversity,
climate conditions, and infrastructure expansion. In many countries across the
region, SUVs are preferred for their adaptability to rough terrain, unpaved
roads, and long-distance travel, which sedans and smaller vehicles cannot
efficiently handle. As infrastructure projects such as intercity highways,
industrial corridors, and suburban developments continue to rise, the demand for
vehicles with higher ground clearance and greater durability is strengthening.
The preference for SUVs is also reinforced by consumer expectations for
vehicles that can handle extreme heat, dust, and heavy payloads without
compromising comfort.
Another factor shaping the market is the growing influence
of digitalization and e-commerce, which has driven demand for versatile family
and utility vehicles used for both private and business-related purposes. The
rise in online vehicle research and virtual showrooms is increasing awareness
of SUV options, leading to more informed purchase decisions. Furthermore,
changing social structures, such as larger households in suburban zones and
shared family commuting, have also contributed to the growing adoption of
three-row and full-size SUVs. Leasing options and attractive insurance plans
tailored specifically to SUV categories are further reducing entry barriers and
encouraging ownership among first-time and repeat buyers.

Middle East & Africa SUV Market Is Segmented by Type,
Class, Propulsion, and Country.
In
2024, electric SUVs witnessed the fastest growth among propulsion types in the
Middle East & Africa, outperforming internal combustion engine (ICE)
models. The surge was driven by rising consumer interest in sustainable
mobility, paired with increasing availability of electric models tailored to
regional needs. Automakers introduced electric SUVs with extended range, faster
charging capabilities, and enhanced thermal management systems to withstand the
region’s climate challenges. Advancements in battery technology, government-led
incentives, and growing charging infrastructure played a critical role in
improving public confidence. The quiet performance, lower operating costs, and
integration of smart infotainment and safety features further enhanced the
appeal of electric SUVs among tech-savvy urban consumers.
Among all countries in the region, South Africa led the
growth in electric SUV adoption in 2024. A notable shift occurred as consumers
became more receptive to electrified mobility, driven by urban expansion,
rising fuel costs, and increased awareness of carbon emissions. Hybrid and
plug-in hybrid SUV models gained traction due to their balance of efficiency
and practicality, offering a smooth transition for buyers hesitant to go fully
electric. Local dealerships expanded their offerings with flexible ownership
plans, while new entrants brought affordability to the segment. As a result,
South Africa emerged as a key catalyst in the region’s evolving SUV propulsion
landscape.
