Dubai's US$10 billion infrastructure spending key to the growth of the commercial vehicle market - Middle East Business News and Information
Captured by Lights In Motion Ahead of the 2025 edition of Automechanika Dubai, experts from Frost and Sullivan shared the latest industry insights for the commercial vehicle market Dubai's allocation of US$10 billion towards infrastructure spending and Saudi Arabia's US$267 billion in infrastructure investments have been highlighted as key contributors to industry growth The latest automotive advancements and regional industry updates will be showcased at Automechanika Dubai from 9 to 11 December Dubai, UAE: Automechanika Dubai returns from 9 to 11 December at the Dubai World Trade Centre and in the lead up to the event, industry experts have emphasised that significant investments in large-scale construction and infrastructure projects are key to ensuring the growth of the GCC commercial vehicle market. In 2024, the global commercial vehicle market experienced a downturn, with the medium and heavy-duty truck segment particularly impacted. Light commercial vehicle volumes also declined in Asian markets such as China, India, and the ASEAN countries despite strong growth in recent years. Amid these shifts, China's electric truck segment emerged as a standout, more than doubling sales from the previous year due to strong government support and a growing focus on sustainability. However, according to industry experts, the GCC's commercial vehicle market is poised for growth, driven by substantial infrastructure investments and strategic economic initiatives in key member states. Sunny Manjani, Mobility Consultant at Frost & Sullivan, said: 'Dubai has earmarked US$10 billion for infrastructure spending, focusing on scaling the Emirate's tourism economy. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia has announced investments worth US$267 billion, and Qatar is focusing on tourism and hospitality under its Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030.' According to Frost & Sullivan's research, Saudi Arabia is leading the commercial vehicles industry in the Middle East, leveraging its strategic location and substantial infrastructure investments. Manjani continued: 'Current supply chain disruptions in maritime routes are creating short-term opportunities for road transportation in the region. For example, goods from Europe are currently being transported from Saudi Arabia, through the UAE, and then to Asia.' He further noted that the Middle East is emerging as a prime destination for investment and emphasised that supportive policies and increasing trade ties with Asian partners are catalysing multisector growth across the region. Looking at the year ahead, Frost & Sullivan's research predicts that the non-oil economy in the Middle East will remain a key driver of economic growth, with key industries identified as manufacturing (including automotive), renewables, infrastructure, construction, tourism, artificial intelligence, and fintech. In the UAE, a resilient non-oil economy performance will push GDP growth to 5.8% in 2025, up from 4% in 2024, while investments in Saudi's non-oil segments including, tourism, technology, infrastructure, and renewables, will see real GDP growth reach 4.8% in 2025. Both scenarios have the potential to positively impact the commercial vehicle market due to increased demand. Commenting on the upcoming edition of Automechanika Dubai, Tommy Le, Show Manager for Automechanika Dubai, said: 'Automechanika Dubai is the largest international trade show for the automotive aftermarket industry in the MEA region. The 22nd edition will span 20 halls at the Dubai World Trade Centre, featuring over 20 Pavilions and a host of new features.
