Market Trends of Middle East and Africa Electric Drives Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the MEA Electric Drives Market according to our research experts:
Oil & Gas is Expected a Significant Growth
- Growing opportunities for oil & gas industries, as well as the stabilization of global economic growth and manufacturers' increasing focus on cost-competitiveness, will continue to drive product demand. In addition, According to BP, a British oil and gas company, the United Arab Emirates produced approximately 3.7 million barrels of oil per day in 2021.
- Electric drive adoption has increased due to increased awareness of energy efficiency and stringent environmental regulations. Electric drives are likely to reduce energy consumption and improve efficiency in oil and gas installations.
- For instance, in April 2022, GE Digital announced that Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the Sultanate of Oman's leading exploration and oil and gas production company, had purchased the Advanced Energy Management System (AEMS). PDO will use the GE Digital software to plan, control, and optimize renewable energy generation to keep its oil production plants running reliably and efficiently.
- The contribution of the oil and gas enterprise to the Middle Eastern economies is relatively high compared with the contribution of other sectors. Further investment by government-owned and private entities will develop upstream exploration and downstream crude oil processing. As a result, the addressable market for drive manufacturers will likely increase, both in terms of new projects and retrofit demands.
- Furthermore, in December 2021, The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company reported a USD 127 billion capital spending plan for 2022-2026, increasing the UAE's oil and natural gas reserves. The state-owned company reported an increase in national reserves of 4 billion stock tank barrels of oil and 16 trillion traditional cubic feet of natural gas, bringing the totals to 111 billion stb and 289 trillion scf, respectively. Furthermore, ADNOC ranks the UAE sixth in the world in terms of oil and seventh in terms of gas reserves.

United Arab Emirates is Expected For a Significant Market Share
- Electricity consumption in the UAE region for commercial and residential building automation is extremely high. Adoption of VFDs in this region may increase the efficiency of motor-driven equipment while requiring minimal maintenance.
- Moreover, in April 2022, The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) launched the 'Dubai EV Community Hub' website to increase EV adoption by centralizing information about EV developments in Dubai. This is part of DEWA's efforts to promote the use of sustainable transportation while also securing Dubai's position as a global capital for a green economy and sustainable development.
- Also, the Green Charger initiative launched by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority to provide charging stations for electric vehicles in various parts of Dubai supports the emirate's efforts to provide innovative and environmentally friendly solutions through its contribution to reducing carbon emissions from the transportation sector and supporting the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030. These developments and initiatives further boost the studied market.
- HVAC companies have begun to automate their sales and service processes, allowing them to reduce customer acquisition costs while maintaining competitive pricing. The use of smart technologies, such as smartphone apps will enable users to control lighting, ventilation, and other systems from a single point of control. These factors contribute to the increased use of brushless DC motors and drives in HVAC applications.
- Further, in June 2022, UAE collaborated with '4IR champions' to increase tech adoption in the industrial sector. Due to this, the sector will benefit from new partnerships and collaborations that support the UAE's Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) Programme, Industry 4.0. As a result, the Champions Network Assembly is a critical mechanism for achieving the objectives of the national industrial strategy.
