All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.

Middle East Energy Transition Market Overview

The Middle East’s power market continues to be dominated by traditional fossil fuels and this is unlikely to change for the foreseeable future. with gas based thermal power providing most of the power generation into 2035. The presence of massive oil and gas reserves and the low cost of production makes it cheaper for many countries in the region to burn fuel for power generation. As a result, the pace of adoption of renewable energy is still therefore quite slow.

Key Power Types Coal, Wind, Oil, Solar, Gas, Geothermal, Nuclear, Hydro, and Biopower
Key Sectors Electric Vehicles, Renewable Energy, CCS/ CCUS, and Hydrogen
Key Players Abu Dhabi Power Corp, Abu Dhabi Power Corp, Acwa Power Co, ACME Cleantech Solutions Pvt Ltd, ACME Cleantech Solutions Pvt Ltd, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Power Construction Corporation of China, SoftBank Group Corp, and Acwa Power Co, among others

Middle East Energy Transition Market, Major Power Types

The major power types in the Middle East energy transition market are coal, wind, oil, solar, gas, geothermal, nuclear, hydro, and biopower. The Middle East has relied on thermal power for most of its power capacity for a number of years, with gas based thermal power providing the highest share of power generation into 2035. The share of renewables is also anticipated to rise significantly.

Middle East Energy Transition Market, Country-wise Outlook

The renewable generation share is set to strongly increase in the run up to 2035. The United Arab Emirates will become a regional leader, with its renewable generation share exceeding more than 27% by 2035. Saudi Arabia is also expected to experience a strong growth in its renewable generation share.

Middle East Energy Transition Market, Major Sectors

Major sectors in the Middle East energy transition market are electric vehicles, renewable energy, CCS/ CCUS, and hydrogen.

Electric Vehicles: The adoption of electric vehicles as a means of reducing CO2 emissions has progressed in the region in the last few years. This progress is still heavily concentrated in the Gulf region, however.

Although the policy framework for electric vehicles is still immature, several commercial partnerships and governmental initiatives have emerged. UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia now have robust plans to locally produce EVs and ambitious intentions for exports as well.

CCS/ CCUS: Given the extensive scale of oil and gas operations in the region and the need for achieving zero-emissions targets, the CCS/CCU projects are gaining more momentum. The CCS capacity in the Gulf countries currently stands at 4mtpa, representing more than 9% of the global annual capacity. CSS capacity is set to increase to 6mtpa with 13 projects expected to come online by the end of the decade.

Hydrogen: The Middle East region is situated in an advantageous position when it comes to potential hydrogen production due to its abundant gas reserves, land, and solar radiation. There are currently multiple hydrogen projects in the feasibility phase, with most of them are expected to be operational around the middle of the current decade. The hydrogen producers in the region see ammonia, transportation, and chemical as the most preferred destinations for the clean fuel. The financing landscape of hydrogen projects looks promising with active involvement from governmental agencies and national oil companies, particularly in the Gulf countries.

We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
