Operating vehicle market share in the Middle East by brand country 2015-2020
Vehicles market in the GCC
The vehicles market in the Middle East has been expanding over the years. Saudi Arabia had the largest number of vehicle sales within the Middle East in 2018, followed by Kuwait. The Middle East highly depends on imports of vehicles as their vehicle manufacturing facilities are not very well established, but initiatives are being taken to progress the industry.
Leading car brands
During 2018, Toyota, a Japanese automotive manufacturer, was the leading vehicle brand in Saudi Arabia with the highest market share closely followed by Hyundai and Nissan.
