Market Introduction

The Gulf countries are economically developed countries, whereas the African countries are yet to match up to the economic conditions of the Gulf countries and lag far behind. The commercial travelers, as well as tourism and religious travelers, are driving the demand for cabs in the Middle East & Africa region, owing to the region's developing business prospects. According to a report issued in March 2019 by the United Nations World Tourism Organization, the Middle East & Africa region had a 10% increase in international tourists in 2018, with about 87 million arriving in the region. In certain Middle Eastern countries, the huge cultural history, global connectivity, developed infrastructure, and business tourism are attracting a diversified tourist base. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates, for example, are the nations in the region that international tourists prefer, and major ride-hailing companies are spending heavily in these countries to meet the surging demand. Moreover, growing investments by the government of Saudi Arabia in infrastructure development to promote the travel and tourism sector has significantly increased the number of commercial spaces such as malls, resorts, hotels, restaurants, and tourist attractions in the country. This, in turn, is anticipated to drive the ride-hailing service market in the coming years. The African region is expected to witness substantial investments in infrastructure development owing to rapid urbanization and population growth in the coming years. Subsequently, the increasing number of airports, hospitals, ports, and commercial spaces across popular cities is expected to fuel the demand for ride-hailing service in the region.

Middle East & Africa (MEA) comprises of South Africa, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. South Africa recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the Middle East & Africa region and is followed by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The government and healthcare authorities have enforced social distancing norms and restrictions that have limited the use of ride-hailing services for daily commutes. People have been forced to follow social distancing measures as a result of the increased risk of contamination associated with public transportation during the lockdown. Customers are becoming more interested in personal vehicles, which is impacting the ride-hailing service industry in 2020. Regardless of previous projections for steady growth of the ride-hailing service market in the MEA due to escalating development of commercial and residential buildings, corporate offices, and travel and tourism industry to enhance the implementation of mobility-as-a-service, the imposition of travel restrictions and social distancing norms in Saudi Arabia and the UAE are limiting the ride-hailing service market growth to a certain extent. However, after the pandemic, ride-hailing service market will very certainly surge.

Fuel prices and maintenance expenses have risen dramatically in recent years, and the trend is expected to continue without any decline. Owning a car has become more of a liability than an asset as cities become increasingly congested with people and cars. As the millennial generation has little to no interest in owning a car, the percentage of people aged 18 to 35 who own a car has decreased over time.
