Furthermore, by 2035, this market share is anticipated to rise to 25%, which corresponds to around 110,500 vehicles. In addition, South Africa is investigating the potential for local electric vehicle production, with the first fully manufactured electric vehicle in the nation expected to be completed by 2026. The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers of South Africa (Naamsa) forecasts the introduction of at least eight new EV models in the country by the conclusion of 2024.
The United Arab Emirates has recognised the electrification of mobility (eMobility) as a key policy focus and is currently seven years into an ambitious initiative aimed at decarbonising its infrastructure and energy production. As part of the Energy Strategy 2050, the nation is pursuing a blend of renewable and nuclear energy sources to attain carbon neutrality by 2050. The integration of electric vehicles is a vital component of this shift towards a low-carbon economy. To date, the UAE has transitioned 20% of its federal government agency vehicles to electric powertrains and has established an initial goal of converting at least 30% of public sector vehicles and 10% of all vehicles on the road to electric (EV or hybrid) by the year 2030.

Middle East and Africa E-SUV Market Outlook
*this image is indicative*
Rapid urbanisation in the region, rising environmental concerns, expansion of the charging infrastructure, and favourable government initiatives are the major trends impacting the Middle East and Africa E-SUV market expansion
The swift urban development in the Middle East and Africa is driving heightened demand for contemporary and efficient vehicles. Electric SUVs, characterised by their cutting-edge technology and reduced emissions, are well-suited to meet the increasing urban requirements for sustainable and space-efficient transportation options.
Growing awareness of environmental issues related to climate change and air pollution is fuelling interest in electric SUVs. Consumers are progressively looking for sustainable alternatives to conventional internal combustion engine vehicles in order to minimise their carbon emissions.
The expansion of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure significantly increases the ease of owning an E-SUV. The proliferation of charging stations in both urban and rural locations alleviates concerns regarding range, thereby promoting greater adoption of E-SUVs.
Numerous governments within the region provide incentives, including tax reductions and subsidies, to promote electric vehicles. Government initiatives such as Saudi Vision 2030 lower the initial expenses associated with E-SUVs and foster broader acceptance among both consumers and businesses.
The expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure represents a significant trend in the Middle East and Africa market for E-SUV. Both governmental bodies and private enterprises are making substantial investments in the deployment of fast chargers and the establishment of extensive charging stations. This initiative effectively mitigates range anxiety and facilitates the increasing adoption of electric SUVs by enhancing accessibility and convenience for consumers.
There is a marked increase in local production and strategic collaborations between international electric SUV manufacturers and regional firms. This movement is motivated by the desire to lower costs, customise vehicles for local environments, and take advantage of available incentives, resulting in more affordable and specifically designed electric SUV options for the markets in the Middle East and Africa.
