Key Automotive Market Driver in GCC
- One of the key factors driving the automotive market growth in GCC is the growing investment in smart cities driven by growing urbanization, which has resulted in the continuous expansion of urban areas, leading to a shortage of land availability.
- According to the World Bank Group estimates, the share of the urban population is expected to reach 90% of the total population by 2050 in the GCC. Hence, the concept of smart cities is gaining momentum globally. For instance,
- In June 2020, Huawei and Smart City Solutions Company (SC2), a leading Saudi Arabian service provider and operator and part of the Batic Group, signed an agreement to collaborate on smart city projects in Saudi Arabia.
- Smart cities will provide smarter solutions that can be deployed to reduce the strain due to urban population growth; these solutions will include the introduction of energy-efficient road networks leading to efficient public transportation systems.
