Saudi Arabia Automotive Safety Systems Market Trends:

Government Initiative Propelling Safety System Integration

Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plays a crucial role in the automotive safety systems market by pushing the integration of sophisticated safety technologies in cars. The government's initiatives to curtail road accidents and improve vehicle safety have compelled authorities to enforce strict safety standards, prompting manufacturers to implement features like anti-lock braking systems (ABS), advanced airbags and electronic stability control (ESC). The Saudi Data and AI Authority, working alongside government agencies, has also created various systems that produce extensive data on road traffic, encompassing both citywide overviews and specific streets. One of them is the Sawaher system, a nationwide platform created to assess streams of images and videos with the help of artificial intelligence and computer vision, delivering real-time insights. A primary application of it is in managing traffic. Another example is the Smart C platform, which utilizes data and artificial intelligence technologies to track, assess, and forecast operational indicators, aiding in decision-making for smart city management. While these programs enhance road safety, they also conform to international standards, making Saudi Arabia a regional leader in car safety. The focus on safety has also promoted joint ventures between local and foreign companies, which has resulted in the creation and deployment of advanced safety technologies specifically adapted to the needs of the Saudi Arabian market.

Technological Advances and Improvements in Vehicle Safety

The Saudi Arabian automotive safety systems market is witnessing strong technological developments, fueled by the growing need for improved vehicle safety and performance. A recent study sponsored by General Motors Africa & Middle East shows that 80% of car purchasers in the area value safety and accessibility when selecting a vehicle, with 50% of those surveyed wanting more accessibility features included in new cars. The study, performed in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt in partnership with SEDRA Foundation and YouGov, illuminates changing trends in car ownership, consumer priorities, and anticipations. Safety ranks first, as 89% of those surveyed identify it as the key factor in their vehicle selection. Affordability (86%) and appearance (83%) rank closely afterwards. Moreover, advances in sensor technologies such as radar, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors have enabled the creation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). ADAS provides features such as lane-keeping assistance, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking, which considerably lower the chances of accidents. Moreover, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms has enhanced the accuracy and responsiveness of these safety systems. The increasing consumer demand for cars with these advanced safety features has also led manufacturers to invest heavily in research and development and hasten the adoption of innovative technologies in the automobile industry.

Growth of Electric Vehicles and Smart Mobility Solutions

The move toward electric cars (EVs) in Saudi Arabia is increasing the need for sophisticated automotive safety systems. The government's Vision 2030 strategy targets 30% of new car sales through electricity by 2030, increasing the demand for sensors employed in EVs, including battery management and safety systems. This move aligns with sustainability strategies and lower emissions. In addition, the growth of connected automotive services in the Middle East is driving the demand for sophisticated sensors. These sensors are helping Saudi Arabia shift to smart and connected cars by allowing ADAS, IoT integration, and real-time diagnostics. Growth in EVs and smart mobility solutions is promoting innovation in automotive safety systems, which is driving the development of more efficient and reliable safety technologies that improve the overall driving experience, and further propels the Saudi Arabia automotive safety systems market growth.
