Data provided by ��ƽ�� Market ��ƽ�� are estimates.

CO2 emissions exert a profound influence on climate and the environment, fueling the greenhouse effect and contributing significantly to global climate change. Nearly one-fourth of these emissions worldwide can be attributed to the transportation sector. Electric vehicles (EVs) emerge as a promising solution, potentially acting as a carbon-neutral alternative when powered by renewable energy sources. This underscores their pivotal role in mitigating the impact of traditional combustion engine vehicles on the environment.

The Electric Vehicles market includes information about electric vehicles in countries where, according to our sources, a public electric vehicle charging infrastructure is already available. In this context, “public” means that people have unrestricted access to the charging infrastructure. A vehicle can be defined as electric if it is self-contained with a battery or classified as a plug-in hybrid. All key figures shown represent the sales of new cars, and their basic configuration in the respective year. The figures do not include the sale of used vehicles nor adapted equipment for the new cars sold. The prices and revenues shown are accordingly based on the basic models.

The Electric Vehicle market is divided into distinct two distinct markets, namely Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This categorization allows for a nuanced understanding of the market dynamics, considering the specific attributes and market penetration of each electric vehicle type. The emphasis on new car sales and their foundational configurations ensures clarity, while the exclusion of used vehicles and customizations maintains focus on the evolving landscape of electric vehicles.

E-mobility and electric vehicles in the UAE

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is among the world’s biggest polluters in terms of per capita carbon dioxide emissions, emitting more than ** metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO₂) per person in 2023. Nonetheless, the country has put forward ambitious sustainability plans. As part of its e-mobility strategy, the UAE aims for ** percent of all vehicles on its roads to be electric or hybrid by 2050. As of June 2024, a global survey found that about ** percent of car owners in the country had a hybrid or electric car. However, as in many other countries, the limited availability of charging stations has slowed the wider adoption of electric vehicles, acting as a bottleneck in reaching the 2050 e-mobility goals.

Sustainability concerns in MENA

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is among the regions expected to face the most extreme effects of climate change. For instance, the water stress level was projected to be extremely high in the region by 2050. However, public awareness of sustainability topics in MENA remains relatively low, with about **** percent of people being concerned about saving water. While in resource-strained countries, sustainability issues do not easily make it into the list of priorities. Consumer concerns surrounding climate change as a threat to their families in the region were high, despite skepticism over the severity of climate change observed in some countries.
