Executive Summary and Middle East & Africa Advanced Carbon Materials Market Analysis:

The automotive industry in the region is growing rapidly owing to the increased disposable income and growing population in the region. Governments in the region have launched various targets to achieve zero-emission in the country. For instance, the UAE government, in October 2021, announced the launch of a strategic initiative-UAE Net Zero by 2050-aiming to reduce carbon emissions in the country by 2050. This gives rise to an increased demand for lightweight vehicles to align with the government's initiative.

Moreover, the region has a robust, innovative, and efficient construction industry. The construction industry's growth in the region is attributed to the growing number of commercial and residential construction projects. The number of projects has increased due to various factors such as tax-free cities, high return on investments, and ease of financing that helps in the expansion of numerous construction companies in the region. For instance, in April 2024, ARA (a real estate development company) announced the launch of a US$ 6 billion Arabian Hills Estate residential township project in Abu Dhabi. This growing construction and structural composite industries drive the demand for advanced carbon materials in the region.

Middle East & Africa Advanced Carbon Materials Market Outlook

Clean (renewable) energy has gained momentum as nonrenewable energy resources are aggressively depleting. Many countries are focusing on generating clean energy to reduce carbon footprints. As global efforts to transition away from fossil fuels intensify, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, and hydropower have become increasingly important. However, these energy sources face challenges, particularly in terms of storage and efficiency. Advanced carbon materials such as graphite, CNTs, and graphene are being increasingly adopted to address these challenges, as these materials play a critical role in improving the performance of energy storage systems, energy transmission, and overall renewable energy infrastructure. According to the International Energy Agency, the cumulative renewable electricity capacity by wind surged from 825.1 gigawatts (GW) in 2021 to 1,255.9 GW in 2024. Similarly, the cumulative renewable electricity capacity of solar PV increased from 949.0 GW in 2021 to 1,954.6 GW in 2024.

Therefore, increasing investments in the wind energy sector will boost the use of these materials, which would provide lucrative opportunities for the advanced carbon materials market over the coming years.
