“Rising number of establishments, increasing GDP of the country, growing
employment rate in Saudi Arabia, increasing size of end user industries and
rising tourism will be the key factors driving growth in Saudi Arabia Car
Rental and Leasing Market”
Growing Employment: The increasing employment opportunity in Saudi Arabia
is influencing positively the standard of living and purchasing power of
Saudis. High purchasing power enables them to afford their preferable car
brands on lease and on rental. This further supports the demand for car rental
and leasing service in the country. After the implementation of Saudization in
the country, the employment rate of Saudi nationals has immensely improved in
the country. In terms of individual demand, Sedan and SUV are the most
preferable category and thus the demand for Sedan in rental segment and SUV in
leasing segment has rapidly grown between the years 2013-2018.
Increasing Number of Establishments: Corporate are the major end
users of car rental and leasing service. Thus, the growing number of
establishments in the country has increased the demand for rental and leasing
services in the country. The increase in number of construction and oil &
gas projects have also propelled the
demand for rental & leasing service in terms of logistics transportation ,
employee mobility and business visitors. In terms of leasing service, contracts
with duration of 4 years are preferred by corporate owing to the long term
projects of industries and are considered as a value for money option. As most
of the new establishments are located in eastern provinces mainly in Dammam,
Al- Khobar & Jubail, hence the demand for car rental & leasing is
highest in these cities.
Tourism Industry: The demand for the car rental in Saudi Arabia has enhanced
in the past few years with the rise in tourist arrivals for leisure and
pilgrim. Saudi Arabia has been observed as catering to millions of pilgrims
visiting Hajj and Umrah especially during Eid Al- Fitr and Eid Al- Adha for
leisure travels across the Middle East region each year. The tourism industry
of Saudi Arabia each year witnessed a new record with the surge in pilgrim
visitors. The tourism industry in Saudi accounted for 9.4% of the total GDP of
Saudi in 2017. The foreign visitors accounted for 17.7 million in 2018 which is
