Middle East Energy Transition Market Segmentation by Major Sectors

Renewable Energy: Scaling up the adoption of renewables is the first step toward a sustainable transition to clean energy. Although thermal power will continue to support the bulk of the Middle East’s power generation mix up to 2035, the share of renewables is rising significantly.

The Middle East has rolled out a range of renewable energy policies and targets such as the Pan-Arab Clean Energy Initiative (PACE) to boost deployment of renewables. The Middle East energy market is growing and will attain a CAGR of more than 11% between 2023 and 2035.

Solar power in the Middle East will experience the fastest growth among of all the energy sources during the forecast period, followed by wind power. Meanwhile, coal will experience the strongest decline in its power capacity share from 2023 to 2035.

Electric Vehicles: As electrification becomes mainstream for global energy markets in transition, EVs are becoming more prominent as many countries attempt to tackle climate change. Although the policy framework for electric vehicles is still immature, several commercial partnerships and governmental initiatives have emerged. Countries such as the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia have robust plans to locally produce EVs and ambitious intentions for exports as well.

For instance, Abu Dhabi has a Low-Emission Vehicle Strategy, which supports the uptake of low-emission vehicles, develops charging infrastructure, and establishes a network of electric vehicle charging stations across the UAE capital.

CCS/ CCUS: Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies are attractive in the Middle East because of the high level of hydrocarbon activities in the Gulf states. The Middle East is set to capitalize on the opportunity of CCS, which allows the survival of its fossil fuel business while meeting its emission targets.

Hydrogen: The Middle East region is favorable to potential hydrogen production because of its abundant gas reserves, land, and solar radiation. There are currently multiple hydrogen projects in the feasibility phase, with most of them being operational around the middle of the current decade.

The hydrogen producers in the region see ammonia, transportation, and chemicals as the most preferred destinations for 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.

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. 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.
