Key Highlights of the Report:

  • Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam are the major demand centers due to high vehicle strength and concentration of service garages. In Eastern Province, the demand exists under the wheels of industrial and logistics fleets.
  • The market is highly competitive with a combination of international OEM brands (such as Bosch, Denso, ACDelco) and powerful local ones, including UKEBRAKE, VPI, and SAPCO. The counterfeit parts are a competitive threat in the unorganized sector.
  • The dominating demand is in engine parts, filters, and braking structures, particularly on passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Cost-conscious consumers are the driving force behind the growth of the aftermarket channel, which holds a larger share than OEMs.
  • Distribution is also changing under the influence of digitization because online parts platforms are increasingly used. Additionally, government stimulus packages outlined in Vision 2030 are encouraging more domestic production and reducing reliance on imports.
  • Domestic manufacturing is also in demand, with Vision 2030 encouraging several companies to expand local plants to cut import reliance and establish an autonomous flow.

According to a new report by UnivDatos, The Saudi Arabia Fuel Station Market is expected to reach USD million in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 7.77% during the forecast period (2025- 2033). The increasing ownership of vehicles, the aging of the fleets, which is accelerating maintenance requirements, and government programs that encourage businesses to manufacture in the country as part of Vision 2030's market forces are driving the market. There is also the growth of ride-hailing services and logistics operations, which enhances the demand for spare parts. The growing popularity of electric cars and hybrid vehicles contributes to an increase in demand for specialized elements. Moreover, the increasing penetration of e-commerce improves the sales of the aftermarket across regions.

Clean Mobility Saudi Arabia announced plans to target an EV fleet penetration rate of 30% in its capital city of Riyadh by 2030. This forms part of the government’s recent pledge to reach net-zero emissions by 2060. The goal to boost EVs in Riyadh comes as more countries attempt to reduce or phase out internal combustion engines that run on gasoline and petrol. Saudi nationals have shown a strong appetite for owning EVs.

Driver: Rising Vehicle Ownership & Urbanization

The increasing population growth, rise in income levels, and adoption of measures to reduce car driving are gaining momentum, significantly driving the demand for automotive spare parts in Saudi Arabia, alongside growing vehicle ownership. With an increasing number of families owning at least one vehicle, particularly in cities such as Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, the rate of part replacement, including brakes, filters, and batteries, has drastically increased.

The increasing urbanization is also driving the expansion of infrastructure, which means more commuting, leading to increased vehicle wear and tear. This is also coupled with the fact that, due to the cultural shift in mobility and ease, the way people conduct their business revolves around the need to own a private vehicle, rather than viewing it as a luxury. The increased availability of cars, in terms of age and gender, is leading to stable aftermarket demand for both electronic and mechanical parts. This is a long-term growth driver of the market, as the demand for spare parts is recurrent with the increase in road traffic.

Segments that transform the industry

  • Based on the component, the market is segmented into engine components, electrical components, suspension and braking parts, transmission and steering, and others. Among these, the electrical components segment dominated the market share in 2024 due to the rapid adoption of the latest electronic parts in vehicles. This segment focuses on its strong replacement procedures, as there is an increasing demand for infotainment systems, sensors, and certain parts of EVs. Moreover, the growth in the penetration of hybrid and electric cars, as outlined in Vision 2030, also increases the demand for specialized electric parts. For instance, on December 12, 2024, Al-Kadi Commerce & Industry and FORVIA HELLA, a global leader in automotive lighting, electronics, and spare parts, announced the signing of the "Sharaka" (Arabic for "partnership") agreement, which focuses on the sole distributor, local manufacturing, and knowledge transfer for a competitive automotive aftermarket industry.

Region that transforms the industry

  • The Central Region held a dominant market share in 2024. Saudi Arabia has the largest market for automotive spare parts in the Central Region (Riyadh, Qasim), which is both administratively and economically the heart of the country, in terms of population and economic activities. Vehicle maintenance is in demand owing to the high population density, urbanization, and a concentrated corporate fleet. There are numerous dealerships, service centers, and distribution hubs in the region, which facilitate easy access to parts. Furthermore, the high rates of infrastructure development and the increasing adoption of ride-hailing services are contributing to the market's growth. For example, on May 13, 2025, the Transport General Authority (TGA) of Saudi Arabia signed a strategic partnership with Uber Technologies to introduce autonomous vehicle services in the Kingdom. The announcement was made on the sidelines of the Saudi-US Investment Forum in Riyadh. Consequently, the Central Region has remained the highest overall use of spare parts in the Kingdom.
