Navigating Automotive & Mobility Sector in United Arab Emirates

Growing Demand for Electric Vehicles in UAE

  • In the UAE, the automotive market has seen a 45% increase in demand for electric vehicles over the past two years indicating a transition towards sustainable mobility.
  • Due to this rise in demand, manufacturers in the UAE are encouraged to align with electric vehicle technologies and related infrastructure opportunities amounting to an estimated $1 billion.

Nurturing Local Talent in Automotive Sector

  • Recent reports indicate a skill gap where only 22% of the automotive workforce in the UAE is locally sourced, signifying a demand for skilled professionals.
  • Bridging this gap provides scope for development programs and partnerships between educational institutions and business entities to capitalize on the local talent that is emerging.

Enhanced Infrastructure to Support Automotive Growth

  • The UAE government is injecting substantial investments into road and transport infrastructure, surpassing $30 billion, fuelling unprecedented growth in the automotive sector.
  • This strengthening infrastructure plays an instrumental role in propelling vehicle manufacturing and mobility as industry stakeholders seek supportive government-backed programs.

Strategic Location Strengthens Trade Routes

  • Located strategically bridging Asia and Europe, UAE ports handle over 1.4 million cars annually, enhancing its status as a go-to automotive hub.
  • This advantageous location acts as an incentive to drive alliances with bordering regions ambitious to form favorable trading conduits forwarding the automotive industry.
