Saudi Arabia Automotive Connectors Market

Saudi Arabia Automotive Connectors Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia automotive connectors market size reached USD 130.86 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 209.18 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.35% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rapid expansion of the automotive sector, increasing adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles, rising integration of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and government-backed localization initiatives. Growing demand for vehicle safety, infotainment, and in-vehicle connectivity further supports market growth.

Saudi Arabia Automotive Connectors Market Trends:

Rising Adoption of Connected Vehicle Platforms and Smart Mobility Solutions

The increasing emphasis on vehicle connectivity in Saudi Arabia is propelling demand for advanced automotive connectors. As OEMs integrate telematics, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, and real-time diagnostics, robust and high-speed connectors are essential to ensure data integrity across various subsystems. This demand is further supported by the Kingdom's smart mobility ambitions under Vision 2030, which aims to establish intelligent transportation infrastructure and smart city integration. For instance, in October 2024, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Energy announced a joint venture between Saleh Suleiman Alrajhi & Sons and Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) to locally manufacture electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. The initiative supports Vision 2030 by reducing import dependence, creating jobs, and fostering local talent. Backed by top government officials, the venture leverages FIT’s advanced design and manufacturing expertise and Alrajhi’s local market experience. The chargers will be tailored for Saudi conditions, enhancing the Kingdom’s EV infrastructure and technological self-reliance. Automotive connectors used in ECU communications, GPS modules, infotainment systems, and wireless communication units are witnessing high adoption. The trend is especially prominent in fleet operations and public transportation systems being modernized for real-time tracking and efficiency. As smart mobility becomes a cornerstone of urban development, the automotive connector market is adapting to increasingly digital and interconnected vehicle environments.

Electrification and EV Infrastructure Fueling Demand for High-Performance Connectors

Saudi Arabia’s rapid shift toward electric vehicles (EVs), driven by policy support and foreign investments, is transforming the demand for automotive connectors. EVs require high-voltage, heat-resistant, and durable connectors for components such as battery systems and inverters. As EV charging infrastructure expands across cities and highways, there is growing need for connectors with superior safety, sealing, and thermal management. This includes connectors for both vehicles and fast-charging stations. In response, manufacturers are innovating compact, high-current connector solutions tailored to the Kingdom’s environmental and performance requirements, aligning with national sustainability goals. For instance, in April 2025, Tesla began its sales operations in Saudi Arabia, debuting the Cybertruck in key cities including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. The company intends to establish a network of charging stations to support its entry. Aimed at the expanding base of urban electric vehicle consumers, the launch heightens competition with existing EV players such as Lucid and BYD in Saudi Arabia’s rapidly developing electric mobility market. Consequently, Tesla's entry into Saudi Arabia's EV market could drive increased demand for advanced automotive connectors essential to electric vehicle systems.
