Saudi Arabia Automotive Aftermarket registered market value of USD6,490.35 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach USD9446.95 million in 2027, advancing with a CAGR of 6.43%. Rapidly increasing automobile sales, rapid technological advancement, and an increase in the utilization of vehicles in the transportation and logistics sector are driving the growth of the Saudi Arabia Automotive Aftermarket in the forecast years.

The year 2020 was pessimistic globally due to the spread of the novel coronavirus. Almost every economy in the world faced slothful growth due to the implementation of lockdown to prevent the spreading of the disease. Saudi Arabia has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has substantially impacted the transportation sector. New car sales were down in 2020, and travel demand was also reduced. The pandemic culminated in a substantial drop in new vehicle sales due to the implementation of a new value-added tax (VAT) that is three times greater than before. Furthermore, consumers put off car maintenance, resulting in a 70 percent to 75 percent loss in revenue from Automotive Aftermarket spare parts sales. Nevertheless, a modest movement towards the automobile aftermarket is foreseen, with spare component sales eventually increasing in the future years.

Growing Competition from Chinese Players

The Saudi Arabia Automotive Aftermarket is highly competitive due to the vast number of Chinese dealers. Several dealerships in the area are part of a diverse local company group with a significant market presence. End-consumers are often price sensitive and have little brand loyalty as a result of the fierce competition. In recent years, the emergence of Chinese businesses and their numerous new product launches have only increased the level of competition. Due to the competitive nature of the market, dealers must always focus on providing creative and cost-efficient items as well as devising effective marketing efforts.

New Product Development

Manufacturers of automotive parts have constantly been working over the last few years to improve design, materials, feel, look, capacity, usefulness, and overall user experience. Continuous product innovation aids car manufacturers in remaining relevant in the marketplace and growing steadily. Automotive manufacturers have spent the last five years concentrating their research and development efforts on energy-saving technologies, lower-emission products, and electric automobiles, among several other things. On February 26 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia, experts from ZF and Mahindra Racing collaborated on an entirely new electric drivetrain. The inverter in ZF's Formula E drivetrain is made of silicon carbide. It enables for a significant increase in efficiency while keeping performance at the same level. Other automotive component manufacturers are substantially investing in product innovation, which is projected to fuel the market over the next years.

Expansion of Sales and Distribution Network

Saudi Arabia's automotive aftermarket is mostly a replacement market due to the country's lack of vehicle and automotive component manufacturing capabilities, which forces it to rely largely on imports. Automotive component manufacturers engage local distributors in Saudi Arabia to manage demand for Automotive Aftermarket components, operating as an appropriate intermediate between the automotive component manufacturing organization and the end-user. For example, Bridgestone appointed Al-Talayi Company Limited as its authorized distributor in Saudi Arabia, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company appointed Al Rashed Tires Co., Hankook Tire and Rubber Company appointed Binshihon Group of Companies, Pirelli appointed United Yousef M.Naghi Co Ltd, and so on. Auto parts manufacturers are continuously enhancing their distribution channels for aftermarket automobile components to improve market penetration in the region. Furthermore, when new companies enter the market, the distribution network continues to evolve in order to fulfill a wide range of consumers.

Growing Automotive Aftermarket

Saudi Arabia is known for its arid and hot climate and has seen a tremendous increase in the number of automobiles on the road, resulting in a thriving market for automotive components and maintenance services. The sector has gained momentum as a result of the continual need to repair batteries, tires, and other components in commercial and passenger cars owing to wear and tear in the harsh climate. Furthermore, cars older than ten years are expected to account for 31% of the vehicle fleet in 2020. An existing aging vehicle fleet, along with owners' tendency to keep their automobiles for extended periods of time in a difficult economy, is expected to drive up demand for automotive parts and services. The adoption of advancements in automobiles, on the other hand, has resulted in an increasing need for new parts at repair shops.
