Dublin, June 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market by Vehicle Type (Two-Wheeler, Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles), By Type (AC Vs. DC), By Charging Mode, By Installed Location, By Connector Type, and By Country, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2018-2028" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market stood at USD15.41 million in 2022 and is expected to reach USD71.58 million by 2028 at a CAGR of 27.06% through 2028.

The market is likely to generate new opportunities in the forecast years as the demand for electric vehicles is increasing, and government initiatives and targets are also promoting the use of electric vehicles in the region, and all this is leading to the rise in the development of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in the region.GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market ScopeThe GCC electric vehicle charging infrastructure market is expected to expand rapidly in the coming years, driven by government initiatives to reduce carbon emissions and promote the use of renewable energy.

Many governments in the region have set ambitious targets for the adoption of electric vehicles, and investment in charging infrastructure is a key component of achieving these goals. The GCC region has several advantages that make it an attractive market for EV charging infrastructure, including a high rate of car ownership, strong government support for EV adoption, and a growing focus on sustainable energy.

However, there are also some challenges to be addressed, including the high cost of EVs compared to traditional gasoline vehicles and the need for more public charging stations to support longer trips. In the forecast years, there is expected to be significant growth as governments and private companies are investing in the infrastructure needed to support the transition to electric mobility in the region.GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market OverviewGCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries are witnessing significant growth in the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in recent years, primarily driven by the increasing concerns about climate change and the rising demand for clean energy.

As a result, the need for charging infrastructure has become crucial in supporting the widespread adoption of EVs in the region. As consumers become more aware of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, the demand for clean energy is increasing rapidly.

The adoption of EVs is a key component of this transition, which is driving the need for charging infrastructure. The development of fast-changing technologies and battery technologies is making EVs more practical for long-distance travel, further boosting the demand for charging infrastructure.GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market DriversAiming to cut carbon emissions and boost the proportion of renewable energy in their energy mix, GCC nations have set lofty goals. For example, by 2050, the UAE wants to produce 50% of its power from renewable sources.

Governments in the area are putting different programs and rules into place to encourage the use of EVs and the construction of charging infrastructure in accordance with these goals. Similarly to that, the GCC area depends largely on oil and gas exports for its income.

The use of EVs can help the area become less reliant on fossil fuels and diversify its economy, while the growing popularity of EVs has sparked technological breakthroughs in the infrastructure for charging them, like quicker charging periods and wireless charging. Because of these developments, EVs are now more practical and available to users.

As the price of EVs continues to drop and battery technology advances, the demand for EVs is anticipated to rise in the upcoming years. Overall, because of the supportive government efforts, environmental concerns, and technical improvements in the region, the GCC region is well-positioned to become a leader in the adoption of EVs and the construction of charging infrastructure.GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market TrendsThe number of EVs in the GCC region is growing steadily, driven by government incentives and efforts to reduce carbon emissions. This is leading to increasing demand for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Governments in the GCC region are actively promoting the adoption of EVs through incentives, subsidies, and other measures. There has been a surge in partnerships and investments in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure market in the GCC region.

For example, in 2021, Enova, a joint venture between Dubai's DEWA and Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power, announced plans to invest USD27 million in EV charging stations in the UAE. As the number of EVs on the road increases, there is a growing demand for fast charging stations that can charge vehicles quickly. Many companies in the GCC region are focusing on developing and deploying fast charging stations to meet this demand.

There is a growing interest in integrating electric vehicle charging infrastructure with renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. This will help to reduce the carbon footprint of EV charging and make it more sustainable. Overall, the GCC electric vehicle charging infrastructure market is poised for significant growth in the coming years, driven by government support, partnerships, and investments, and a growing demand for EVs and fast charging stations.GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market ChallengesLimited public funding is a challenge as some governments in the GCC have initiated public-private partnerships to fund EV charging infrastructure. There is limited public funding available, which can slow down the deployment of EV charging stations.

The region currently lacks a standardized EV charging system, which can make it difficult for EV owners to use charging stations in different countries or even within the same country. Similarly, the limited range of EVs, combined with the scarcity of charging stations, can create range anxiety among potential EV buyers, which can limit the adoption of EVs in the GCC region.

All these are the major challenges that are expected to restrict growth in the market.

GCC Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Market OpportunitiesThe GCC countries are strategically located between Europe, Asia, and Africa, making them an ideal location and a regional hub for EV charging infrastructure. This could help attract international companies to invest in the region's EV market, and the region is gradually shifting away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources, including solar and wind.

This provides an opportunity for the development of renewable energy-powered EV charging stations, which could help the region achieve its sustainability goals. Similarly, the region is also a popular destination for tourists, and EVs can offer an eco-friendly transportation option. As a result, there is a growing need for EV charging infrastructure in tourist areas, including hotels, malls, and airports.The regulatory policies related to subsidies, taxes, and incentives can provide a significant opportunity for the market in the region. Similarly, economic growth can drive the demand for EVs and EV charging infrastructure, and the rise in investments in sustainable technologies will also generate new opportunities for the market.

Company InsightsABB Ltd. is the leading player operating in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure market. The company has installed electric vehicle chargers at 100 locations in Saudi Arabia. It has also partnered with the Saudi e-mobility solution provider, Electromin, for electric vehicle chargers.
