The UAE's harsh climatic conditions play a tremendous role in the growth of the automotive aftermarket market there. In summer, the wear and tear on vehicles increase due to high temperatures, often exceeding 45°C to 50°C, particularly affecting components such as batteries, tires, and air conditioning systems. This increases their replacement parts and maintenance work. Furthermore, the occurrence of dust storms in the country is growing rapidly and lasts as long as 6 to 14 hours. The percentage of serious dust storms varies according to location, ranging from 0.02% at Fujairah I.A. to 0.48% at Al Maktoum I.A. This dust storm often blocks filters in the region and results in lower engine efficiency. Further, high heat and humidity make rubber components and lubricants deteriorate, and these components or lubricants need to be replaced frequently.
Also, the government initiatives to reduce the economic dependence on Oil & Gas Sectors are bringing investments in other sectors like; hospitality, healthcare, and tourism. By 2031, the UAE government plans to invest USD 27 Billion in tourism sectors to attract approx. 40 million hotel guests. This encourages investment by various companies in travel, aviation, and hospitality. Also, the UAE is the hub of tourism with around 44 million tourist visits in 2023. With the increase in investment by the government and multiple organizations in the sector, the demand for vehicle fleets & taxi services will increase enormously. This will create lucrative opportunities for the growth & expansion of the UAE Automotive Aftermarket Industry.

UAE Automotive Aftermarket Market Driver:
Rising Vehicle Ownership – The growth of the automotive aftermarket market is driven by increasing vehicle ownership in the UAE. In 2023, around 259,140 newly registered vehicles were there in the UAE. Vehicle ownership rates are the highest in the region, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi leading in registrations. Also, the high per capita income averaging over USD 45,000 supports this trend as residents invest more in vehicles, including luxury models. The luxury car market also sees tremendous growth, with sales exceeding 80,000 units in 2023. Increasing vehicle ownership, especially for luxury model types, generally raises demand for aftermarket services such as maintenance and parts. Luxury owners seek aftermarket services capable of improving performance and aesthetics. Stringent vehicle inspection laws complemented by harsh climates in the UAE necessitate frequent maintenance, which creates a high demand for aftermarket solutions. The growing vehicle base, including high-end cars, underpins robust aftermarket growth in the UAE.
UAE Automotive Aftermarket Market Opportunity:
Movement Towards Green Mobility Offering Lucrative Growth Opportunities – Green mobility is gaining prominence in the UAE Automotive Aftermarket. The increase in consumer consciousness has spearheaded the request for sustainable mobility. By 2050, the UAE expects to achieve 50% Diversification of the energy mix in renewable sources, creating great room for electric and green automotive options. This move is further supported by the Dubai Green Mobility Initiative, which aims to convert 30% of public sector vehicles and 10% of all vehicles into electric by 2030. The cumulative number of battery electric vehicles reported in Dubai during December 2023 stands at 25,929, representing a sharp increase from the 15,100 battery electric vehicles at the end of 2022. The Kingdom wants to have approximately 42,000 electric cars on the road by 2030. The aftermarket sector is addressing this with tires suitable for EVs, customized repair services, and green products like biodegradable oils and green tires.
UAE Automotive Aftermarket Market Challenge:
Heavy Penetration of Counterfeit Products – The major challenge faced by this market is the increased penetration of counterfeit components which is hazardous to brand reputation and vehicle safety. Dubai Officials confiscated around 2.5 million counterfeit car spare parts in 2024 having a value of USD 2.03 Million which is approximately a 116% rise in comparison to USD 939 thousand in 2021. Frequently counterfeited products consist of oil, air filters, and cabin A/C filters. For example, counterfeit oil filters, occasionally stuffed with newspapers, are available for just USD 0.82, while authentic ones cost USD 8.17 in the UAE. These inferior components can result in significant mechanical breakdowns and present serious safety hazards to consumers. Even with persistent enforcement actions, the counterfeit market keeps growing, requiring heightened awareness and consumer education to reduce the risks associated with fake automotive components.
UAE Automotive Aftermarket Market Trend:
Growing E-Commerce & Digital Platforms Changing Market Dynamics – The new trend that is taking the market forward is the increased use of e-commerce and digital platforms in the UAE. Approximately 70% of the dealer service centers and organized independent aftermarket shops in UAE utilize apps, websites, or aggregator platforms to serve customers. With increased internet and smartphone usage, consumers can now shop through online retail outlets for all automotive parts and services. The increasing number of do-it-yourself consumers further drives online sales, as they look for convenient access to various automotive parts and accessories. More cooperation between the digital platforms and express delivery services ensures timely, direct delivery of after-sale products, boosting the growth of the UAE market even more.
