Middle East & Africa Electric Vehicle Fluid Market Outlook, 2027

Penetration of electric vehicles in automotive industry is expected to disrupt well-established value chain for internal combustion engine vehicles. From engine parts to maintenance practices, electric vehicles vary from conventional vehicles. Several Middle Eastern countries, the respective governments are concentrating on renewable energy, clean transportation technologies, the implementation of economic and energy diversification plans. Tesla’s entry into Middle East & Africa electric vehicle market rattled the automotive industry with its all-electric range of vehicles. UAE and Dubai aim towards their long-term goal of electrification by launching several initiatives over the past few years to encourage sustainable choices. One often overlooked component of this shift involves fluids. Electric vehicles require specially manufactured and designed electric vehicle fluids to perform effectively. These fluid ranges include driveline fluids, coolants, transmission fluids, brake fluids, grease etc. The world of transport is becoming electric and electric vehicle fluids have significant role to play. As for the various ranges of electric vehicle fluids, electric vehicle transmission fluid helps to reduce energy losses in the driveline system and improve electric vehicle transmission effective. It also protects gears and extends the lifespan of electric vehicle. Electric vehicle thermal fluid helps to reduce the maximum temperatures and regulates it to an optimal state.

Middle East & Africa region is segmented into three major countries including United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and South Africa. Among these countries, United Arab Emirates is anticipated to have higher market share in terms of value by the forecast period. United Arab Emirates is one of the early adopters of electric vehicle and electric vehicle fluids. Although countries in Middle East & Africa region are rich in oil, adoption of electric vehicle was increasing at a slower pace. Middle East & Africa region promotes UAE as committed to low-carbon and suitability economy. Region has an ambitious goal to boost the electric vehicle in next 20 years. The electric vehicle revolution is still a difficult threat to the fluids industry. But additive companies are expected to look better placed to meet the challenge. It has been essential factor to reformulate the characteristics of electric vehicles.

According to the report, Middle East & Africa region is segmented into three major vehicle types including battery electric vehicle, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle. In Middle East & Africa region, plug-in hybrid electric vehicle segment is expected to register higher market share with more than 50%, followed by battery electric vehicle segment. Middle East & Africa region is rich in oil which can be essential factor for the production of electric vehicle fluids as well as petroleum fluids has wide productivity. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle consists of battery as well as conventional engine. This implies higher amount of fluids to ensure the enhanced performance and safety of the vehicle. In this region, charging stations are at emerging phase which are expected to witness prominent growth in upcoming years. Middle East & Africa population adopts the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle widely. Based on the vehicle type, electric vehicle fluids market is segmented into passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle. In Middle East & Africa region, passenger vehicle type is forecasted to lead the market with more than 80% market share. Middle East & Africa region has lack of commercial charging stations which is expected to increase by 2027. Due to easy adapt quality of passenger electric vehicle; it is highly adopted in entire region. Increasing awareness about carbon emissions and utilizing efficient fluids for greener technology are key factors for the rising market growth for commercial vehicles.

Impact of Covid-19 on Middle East & Africa Electric Vehicle Fluids market:
As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown measures in the region, many fluid developers and manufactures had delayed production. Due to social distancing norms, supply chain for electric vehicle fluids in Middle East & Africa region was highly impacted. Lack of labor and work from home situations have resulted into declining figures for the market growth. By the end of 2020, industries initiated their production for electric vehicle fluids to meet the new and advanced requirements of customers. Covid-19 pandemic has directed the Middle East & Africa automotive industry towards the zero-emissions vehicle technology. Based on this concept, Middle East & Africa electric vehicle fluids market is forecasted to increase with significant market growth.
