Report Description

The Oman Automotive Market is anticipated to register a robust CAGR in the upcoming years due to increasing investment in Oman. It is one of the most promising and rapidly growing vehicle markets, backed by several reasons including manpower availability, R&D activities, location advantage, and government support. With a favorable economic outlook and increased spending power, the country's automotive sales are expected to skyrocket. New companies continue to enter the market, particularly in the low-cost car category, with sales expanding rapidly. Passenger cars and light commercial vehicles are also experiencing a surge in demand.

Introduction

The automobile sector is crucial to a country's socioeconomic success. The growth of any country's automobile sector is commonly used to measure its progress. The position of motor transport in the national economy's infrastructure determines the country's growth forces, the development of the modern economy, and the possibilities for its development. Oman has one of the fastest-growing automotive markets in the Middle East The rising and increasing vehicle sector is one of the significant advancements taking place in the Sultanate of Oman's business environment. Oman has effectively established itself as a global automotive hub. The Oman automotive market consists of vehicles used for personal or public purposes.

Market Drivers

Oman's automobile market is growing along with economic revitalization. The country's GDP recorded an upward trend, boosting the automobile industry. The auto industry is also getting a boost from its OEMs. The OEMs are planning to expand their activities, production bases, and after-sales services in the country. The government also supports the automobile sector as it is a revenue generator for the country. The government has been working on attracting foreign market players to set up their manufacturing plants within the country. The government is also investing in making new roads and highways, which is increasing the demand for vehicles on roads. Furthermore, the government is offering tax incentives to market players, which will increase the involvement of foreign players and, in turn, increase the Oman automotive market. Due to Oman's geographical location, the automotive industry has a positive impact on market growth. Oman has seven commercial ports. Additionally, Oman is located near India, USA, Europe, and China, which leads to a reduction in lead-time and access to raw materials for production and high intensity of import and export, effectively increasing the automobile industry in Oman. Oman's unique regional bilateral ties offer great potential, and with its unrestricted distribution network throughout the Middle East and North, it is ideal for pan-GCC sales not only in terms of selling new vehicles but also auto parts and accessories.

Market Challenges

The challenges faced by the Oman automotive industry include the shortage of raw material supply in the country. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, the supply chain of key automobile components has been disrupted. Additionally, the hampering of import activity has severely impacted the automobile industry. As Oman is an import-driven automobile market, it leads to high vehicle costs, restricting many consumers from buying expensive cars. This barrier can restrict the growth of the auto industry. Furthermore, there is a shortage of skilled labor in the manufacturing sector, which is a limiting factor for the Oman automotive industry. The electric vehicle infrastructure is one of the stumbling blocks in the Oman automotive market. Moreover, the shortage of chips impacts the production of automobiles and auto parts. Additionally, there is a lack of dealerships within the country, which has led to the limited availability of vehicles.
