Media Confidence in Chinese Automotive Brands Grows Globally and Hits 62% in the UAE, According to CARMA's Latest Analysis
CARMA, the leading technology and consulting company, has released the second part of its 'Driving Change Series' study, which presents an analysis surrounding the Automotive industry, hyper focusing on the incoming Chinese brands in the MENA region and beyond. Findings show that Chinese automotive brands are gaining media confidence globally, with limited outright scepticism. Through a variety of online articles, media in the Philippines, Malaysia and the UAE showcased the highest levels of confidence in Chinese automotive brands (over 60% confident in each of those markets). The analysis found that positive media coverage of Chinese brands aligned with what really matters to consumers with regards to purchasing decisions. The first part of this series, which focused on consumer research, found that price, reliability and technology were key factors for those considering purchasing a new vehicle. Chinese brands were characterised by low levels of criticism and high proportions of positive coverage on pricing, technology and reliability. In addition, Chinese automotive brands – especially BYD – are increasingly seen as industry innovators. The brand garnered more than double the volume of coverage where brands are positioned as innovative (1,189 articles) compared to other Chinese brands such as Geely (402) and Xpeng (298), as well as established brands including BMW and Volkswagen (284 and 251 respectively). BYD was also found to have contributed 41% of all positive coverage on Chinese brands, and had a higher proportion of positive coverage compared to other Chinese brands and established brands. Part 2 of the series, titled 'Media Perception' presents an analysis of 12,000 media articles from 1 January 2024 to 31 January 2025. Online articles from automotive specialist outlets, news sources, lifestyle media and technology outlets in 15 markets were analysed. These articles featured over 25 Chinese brands and over 30 established brands. 'The automotive industry experienced significant turbulence over the last 18 months with headwinds affecting both Chinese and established brands. Despite this our analysis revealed that Chinese automotive brands have gained media confidence around the globe, and that positive sentiment on 'the rise of Chinese brands' is a result of BYD's success, rather than strong industry-wide performance. In fact, BYD leads in terms of share of voice compared to several other Chinese and Established brands and generated 41% of all positive coverage of Chinese brands,' says Paige Lingwood, Insights Consultant, CARMA. Technology and innovation were found to be key themes that media outlets covered with their articles – 60% of media coverage highlighted Chinese brands' use of innovative technology. Articles also focused on the rapidly evolving automotive industry highlighting trends such as tariff impacts, technology collaboration, the rise of Software Defined Vehicles (SDVs), and the role of social media platforms such as YouTube and TikTok in influencing car buyers. Within the MENA region Chinese brands secured the most articles where they positioned as innovative in the UAE (75%), which helped elevate the presence and perception of Chinese brands across the wider Middle East region. Numerous articles were published by UAE media on BYD, highlighting the investment the company has made into innovation and technology. Other outlets also praised the inclusion of the Chery Tiggo 8 in the Dubai Police Fleet, noting that the model was chosen specifically as Dubai Police required vehicles equipped with the latest technology. In Saudi Arabia, high levels of confidence were reported in media narratives relating to pricing, reliability and technology. In the first part of this series, these factors were found to be the most important or consumers when purchasing a vehicle, highlighting that Chinese brands have found a winning formula for growth despite the automotive industry's challenging and competitive landscape. Part 3 of the Driving Change series will focus on a case study on BYD. Stay tuned as we continue to explore the transformative rise of Chinese automotive brands on the world stage.

Awqaf Abu Dhabi Director General Engages Emiratis in a Series of Majlis Visits to Highlight the Enduring Power of Endowments
Underlines the pivotal role of endowments in preserving Emirati values and fostering sustainable social impact Showcases Awqaf Abu Dhabi's contribution to Abu Dhabi's economic diversification and GDP growth Abu Dhabi, UAE: In alignment with the vision of the UAE's Year of Community, the Endowments and Minors' Funds Authority (Awqaf Abu Dhabi) has launched a series of majlis visits to engage with Emiratis and highlight how endowments serve as a means to preserve family wealth, strengthen social bonds, and foster long-term community development. The initiative began with a visit to Mohammed Belajer Al Rumaithi's Majlis, where His Excellency Fahad Abdul Qader Al Qassim, Director General of Awqaf Abu Dhabi, outlined how endowments combine Islamic traditions with modern financial solutions. He explained that these structures allow families to secure their legacy while giving back to society, reinforcing the UAE's vision for a stronger, more connected nation. The outreach programme continued with a visit to the majlis of Khalid Bin Tannaf Al Minhali, and Al Tawiyyah Majlis with additional sessions planned throughout the year. HE Al Qassim emphasised that endowments are a unique financial mechanism that ensures continuous support for social causes such as education, healthcare, and mosque development. He stated: 'An endowment is not a one-time donation but a long-term investment in our society. Under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE is committed to building a sustainable and inclusive economy. Endowments play a key role in realising this vision by strengthening financial security, preserving national values, and fostering social cohesion.' HE Al Qassim highlighted during the visits how Awqaf Abu Dhabi offers structured endowment models tailored to different needs, ensuring that Emiratis can create long-term social and economic impact. Family Endowments safeguard wealth across generations while creating social benefits. Charitable Endowments directly support key sectors such as healthcare, education, and community services, while Mixed Endowments allow individuals to balance personal financial security with philanthropy. Beyond their social value, endowments play a critical role in Abu Dhabi's economy, contributing to GDP through direct asset management, fund distribution, and regulatory oversight of other endowment institutions. HE Al Qassim explained that Awqaf Abu Dhabi manages a substantial portfolio of real estate and investments, ensuring that endowment-generated revenues continue to drive economic activity. Additionally, by distributing profits from endowments to various social and economic initiatives, these funds flow back into the local economy. As a regulator, Awqaf Abu Dhabi also licenses and oversees other endowment institutions, ensuring a sustainable and growing endowment sector in Abu Dhabi. illustrating the scale of impact, HE Al Qassim pointed to major initiatives such as the AED 1 billion healthcare endowment and the 'Waqf Al Masajid' mosque development programme, which demonstrate how structured endowments create sustainable impact while preserving Emirati values. Additionally, Awqaf Abu Dhabi plays a crucial role in protecting minors' inherited assets, ensuring their financial security and responsible management until they reach adulthood. This service, accessible through the TAMM platform, reflects the UAE's commitment to integrating Islamic financial principles with modern regulatory practices. HE Al Qassim reiterated the importance of endowments in shaping the UAE's future, not only in strengthening economic diversification but also in ensuring long-term stability for families and communities. He concluded, 'Endowments are a bridge between our past and future, preserving our values while securing financial sustainability for generations to come. In this Year of Community, we encourage all Emiratis to explore how endowments can serve their family's interests while strengthening our society. By investing in endowments, we invest in the long-term resilience, unity, and prosperity of our nation.' About Awqaf Abu Dhabi: Established in May 2023, Awqaf Abu Dhabi promotes and develops the endowment sector by maximising social and financial impact across the community through developing investments and partnerships to meet values of sustainability. In addition to managing all endowment related processes, Awqaf Abu Dhabi manages the financial guardianship and development of wealth of minors, interdicted and others, contributing to greater financial and social inclusion.
