Market Definition
Diesel buses are used for various tasks like public transport, school transport, tourism, hospital, and others. There is a wide market available in Saudi Arabia for diesel buses. The diesel bus works on a diesel engine. The diesel engine was named after Rudolf Diesel. It is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which ignition of the fuel is caused by the lifted temperature of the air in the cylinder because of high mechanical compression; hence the diesel engine is known as a compression-ignition engine.
Saudi Arabia Diesel Bus Market Dynamics
This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:
DRIVERS
- Growing Government Initiatives for Public Transport Infrastructure
Saudi Arabia has accelerated its infrastructure development efforts in recent years, spurred by a growing population and an increasingly diversified economy. This rapid progress has led to an array of new opportunities for both public and private sector enterprises. The government of Saudi Arabia is additionally fueling these opportunities by providing initiatives, and incentives for public and private businesses under various economic segments such as public transport.
For instance,
- According to a September 2021 report by SNC-Lavalin Group, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is experiencing a period of transformation and investment being injected into the country.
- In July 2021, the Saudi Arabia government announced that USD 147 billion is set to fund the transport and logistics sectors over the next decade. If the targets are achieved, these sectors will contribute 10% of the country’s GDP by 2030, a 4% increase from current quotas. Other than bullet trains in densely populated areas, the government is focusing over bus rapid transit and regular buses. This is expected to positively affect market growth.
Rapid Urbanization and Increase in Population Across the Country
According to a report by World Bank, today, nearly about 56% of the world’s population – 4.4 billion inhabitants – live in cities. This trend is expected to continue, with the urban population more than doubling its current size by 2050, at which point nearly 7 of 10 people will live in cities. With more than 80% of Saudi Arabia GDP generated in cities, urbanization can contribute to sustainable growth through increased productivity and innovation if managed well. This rapid urbanization and increase in population are expected to boost and drive many markets including the Saudi Arabia diesel bus market.
OPPORTUNITY
- Growing Pilgrimage and Tourism in the Region
Saudi Arabia has been working to develop its tourism industry in recent years. The Saudi government has been investing in tourism infrastructure, including the construction of hotels, resorts, and other tourist facilities. The government has also been working to promote the country as a tourist destination by lifting restrictions on tourism, such as allowing women to travel without a male guardian's permission. Additionally, the government has been working to diversify its economy, which is heavily dependent on oil, by promoting the tourism industry as an alternative source of revenue.
RESTRAINT/CHALLENGE
- Stringent Emission Regulations
There is no significant difference in chemical makeup between the engine exhaust of the smallest diesel car and the engine exhaust of the largest diesel truck. The technologies used to control the pollutants contained in that exhaust are also similar. Most manufacturers use a combination of in-cylinder controls that affect the proportions of pollutant compounds that are left over from combustion and enter the exhaust stream and after-treatment devices that remove pollutants from the exhaust after it has exited the engine. In order to lower carbon emissions, the government of Saudi Arabia has implemented regulations. These regulations to reduce emissions from the transportation sector may increase the cost of owning a diesel bus and operating it and make it difficult for operators to comply. This is acting as a restraint for market growth.
Post-COVID-19 Impact on Saudi Arabia Diesel Bus Market
COVID-19 created a negative impact on the Saudi Arabia diesel bus market due to the shutdown of the Saudi Arabia manufacturing sector, logistics and transportation, and lack of testing for the product.
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the market upto an extent. However, rapid product launch and product expansion by market players and the advantages of diesel buses over other types of buses is expected to act as a driving factor for market growth and also has helped the market to grow during and after the pandemic. Also, the growth has been high since the market opened after COVID-19, and it is expected that there would be considerable growth in the sector. The market players are conducting multiple R&D activities to improve the technology involved in the product. With this, the companies will bring advancement and innovation to the market. In addition, government funding for AGM batteries has led to market growth.
Recent Developments
- In January 2023, TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION announced that the company had participated in the World Future Energy Summit 2023 in Abu Dhabi. In this event, the company showcased a hydrogen-powered Toyota Mirai Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV) and a Fuel Cell Forklift throughout the three-day event. Through this, the company has showcased its technological capabilities and has promoted its product portfolio under the Saudi Arabia diesel bus market
- In December 2022, Tata Motors announced that the company has decided to increase the price of its commercial vehicles up to 2% from January 2023. This step is expected to allow the company to coup up with inflation in the price of raw materials and to continue providing services under the Saudi Arabia diesel bus market
