Market Definition
Electric vehicles (EVs) are automobiles that are primarily powered by electricity stored (and sometimes even generated) on board the vehicle in batteries. These vehicles are preferred over conventional vehicles because of minimal or zero emissions.
Market Insights and Analysis: Kuwait Electric Vehicle Market (2025-2030):
The Kuwait Electric Vehicle Market size was valued at around USD 55 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 319.84 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 34.10% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. This high growth is likely to be driven by government mandates and policy interventions, efforts towards economic diversification, and consumer alignment with EVs.
The Kuwaiti government has committed to net-zero emissions by 2060 and has developed a renewable energy roadmap with emphasis on transportation decarbonization under its ‘Vision 2035’ plan. The government has thus mandated fuel stations to install fast EV chargers as per the standards approved by the Ministry of Public Works and the Ministry of Electricity, Water, and Renewable Energy (MEWRE). The government has also issued guidelines to Kuwaiti landlords to allow the installation of home chargers for tenants purchasing EVs. The MEWRE has allowed the installation of rooftop solar panels to encourage the transition towards clean energy and mobility with the launch of the country’s renewable energy strategy in March 2024. These initiatives are creating a strong demand for EVs in the country.
Market demand for EVs in Kuwait is further supported by the country’s efforts towards economic diversification. Oil and gas exports contribute to half of Kuwait’s GDP, so the government is promoting alternative industries to reduce its dependence on the industry. This is highlighted in Kuwait Ports Authority’s proposal for the development of the region’s first ‘EV City’ to promote domestic production of EVs in line with the country’s ‘Vision 2035’ strategy.
EVs are witnessing a strong demand in the country because of their alignment with consumer expectations. Kuwait has a high per capita GDP of over USD33,000 that aligns consumer expectations with EVs because they are generally positioned as premium offerings. This is likely to support high growth in the country’s EV market with increasing awareness and expansion of product offerings by global EV brands.

Kuwait Electric Vehicle Market Driver:
Government Mandates and Policy Interventions Driving Market Demand – Kuwait has one of the lowest EV penetrations around the globe, with EVs reportedly constituting 0.03% of the overall automobile sales in the country. The Kuwaiti government is thus accelerating EV adoption in the country by taking several initiatives that are driving structural change in the market. Its regulations on charging standards have created a clear framework for players operating in the country’s EV market. This is reducing the uncertainty faced by EV manufacturers and charging infrastructure developers and creating a conducive environment for EV adoption in the country. The government’s mandate on the installation of charging stations at every fuel station in the country is further driving market demand for EVs by addressing the lack of a fast-charging infrastructure.
The MEWRE is encouraging urban developers and landlords to promote EV adoption in the country by making residential apartments home-charging friendly. This is important for the country as over 50% of its population lives in apartment complexes. The ministry is also working with local governments on improving electrical grid resilience to support increasing charging loads as an increasing number of consumers adopt EVs in the country.
