"MARKET OUTLOOK
Triton’s report estimates that the Middle East and Africa electric vehicle battery market is estimated to observe revenue growth at a CAGR of 16.25% over the forecast period 2021-2028. South Africa, Turkey, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Rest of Middle East & Africa outline the market in this region.
In Turkey, the automotive industry plays a vital role in the nation’s economy. Further, Ford Otosan is building a battery assembly plant at its Kocaeli facility. Moreover, the company will develop an e-transit and a new investment plan for the battery assembly plant. Additionally, the country’s first electric SUV by TOGG is set to hit the roads in the next few years. Besides, the country is anticipated to mass-produce its first locally-manufactured electric bus, Avenue EV, manufactured by Temsa and Aselsan. Therefore, the rise in EV manufacturing is expected to increase sales of electric vehicle batteries, in turn driving the growth of the electric vehicle battery market.
On the other hand, though Saudi Arabia is rich in oil, it has commenced the adoption of electric vehicles in recent years. Moreover, the country has built a solid framework to incentivize people to opt for EVs over conventional cards. Along with this, new renewable energy and clean technologies have become the new economic agenda for oil-rich countries like Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, EVs are gaining significant traction in the kingdom, with efforts undertaken in the Vision 2030 plan. Thus, these factors are motivating the growth of the electric vehicle battery market to a large extent.
