Kuwait Long Term Vehicle Leasing Market
During the period 2013-2018,
Kuwait vehicle leasing market grew at a positive growth rate. There were
several factors that influenced the growth such as growth of end user
industries, increase in number of new establishments, focus on non-oil sector
end users and other factors. The growth in non-oil sector/industries and stable
construction projects in the country positively influenced the vehicle leasing market
to a large extent. The industry witnessed overall increase in fleet size owing
to growing competition, increasing demand and increasing market penetration
across various regions in the country. Increasing competition in the market has
raised the quality of services offered by vehicle leasing companies in the
country, which has attracted more number of customers to gradually avail the
services for their mobility needs. The reviving oil prices will act as a
stimulant to the growth of vehicle leasing, as the revival in oil prices would
reverse the cost cutting measures taken by the oil and gas companies in the
years 2014-2016.
Kuwait Long Term Vehicle Leasing Market Segmentation
By Type of Vehicle: As of 2018, the luxury vehicle segment accounted
for the least share in terms of fleet size. These vehicles are expensive and
have a niche market. The SUV/MUV segment contributed about the highest in terms
of revenue, owing to the Kuwait government’s preference for an SUV in their
fleet due to ease in travel while in off roads locations and availability of
different variants such as 4 cylinder, 6 cylinder, 8 cylinder. The Sedan
segment contributed highest share in terms of fleet size and second highest in
terms of the market revenue as of 2018. These vehicles were majorly used for
employee mobility, the sedan is an evergreen segment used by corporate and
individuals, and lastly, the Pickup segment also showed significant growth in
the market. The demand for this segment has been on the rise and these types of
vehicles are designed for cargo transportation which is being used by the logistics
and construction sector in Kuwait.
By
Regions: Kuwait is divided into 3 regions namely
Northern, Central, and Southern. In 2018, Southern region accounted for highest
share in terms of fleet size due to presence of oil and construction
industries. Central region also accounted for a significant share in the total fleet
size, owing to presence of various branches, headquarters of companies in the
region and as well as presence of residential areas in the region.
By
End Users: Oil and Gas have accounted for highest share in
the total fleet demand mainly because the country’s economy depends on oil, and
it is the largest spending sector on vehicle leasing for the purpose of
employee mobility. The government and military sector that includes the
ministries of Kuwait such as ministry of public works, ministry of education
have also increased the demand for vehicle leasing. The construction sector also
constituted a significant share and use vehicles meant for transportation of
employees and cargo. Others include individuals and other industries which
accounted for a small share in the market in terms of fleet in the Kuwait
vehicle leasing market.
By
Type of Vendor: In 2018, the vehicle leasing companies had
captured the majority of the market share due to their willingness and ability
to lease, service, maintain, and repair the vehicles from various brands. The automotive
dealers lag behind the core vehicle leasing companies in terms of fleet size as
of 2018.
By
Duration: Three year lease duration has been the most
popular as the lease prices are low and the vehicle leasing companies also
prefers to lease vehicles for this duration, as it is difficult to sell the
vehicle after it has been in use for 4 years or longer.

market and with the increase in price transparency in the industry, the lease/contract
prices of companies have decreased causing the profit margins to decrease as

companies namely Al-Sayer, (an exclusive dealer of Toyota) and Al Mulla had the
majority of the market share. Additionally, with the emergence of companies
such as Automak, Autolease (KAICO), and Aayan Auto, the competition evolved to
being competitive pricing strategy with core focus on consumer satisfaction by providing
value added services. Besides the price factor, consumers are giving utmost
importance to services such as vehicle portfolio/variants, routine service and
maintenance facility of the vehicle, road side assistance, comprehensive
insurance, and replacement vehicle, if necessary.
