Investment Opportunities in the Automotive Industry

 


Several factors combine to make Saudi Arabia an attractive market for automotive spare parts. With a population of 18 million, the Kingdom's total vehicle population is estimated at 6.5 million, one of the highest figures in the Middle East. The last two years have seen sales of new motor vehicles in Saudi Arabia declining, while sales of second-hand cars have increased considerably. These older, used vehicles will require more scheduled and regular maintenance in coming years than newer models. Harsh weather conditions, a dependence on road transport, and a lack of routine preventive maintenance also positively affect the demand for automotive spare parts in the Kingdom. The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that Saudi Arabia's total market size for spare parts at $550 million for 1997, of which $515 will be imported.

The Saudi Consulting House (SCH) has identified investment opportunities in the spare parts industry, divided into 14 groups: automotive pumps, radiators, engines, brakes, suspension systems, electrical parts, front and rear lights, spark plugs, positive and negative cables, air conditioners, exhaust systems, front and rear bumpers, windshields, tires and tubes.
