Middle East and Africa Driverless Shuttle Minibus Market Insights
In the Middle East and Africa (MEA), the market for driverless shuttle minibuses is emerging, primarily led by Gulf countries. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are investing heavily in smart city programs like NEOM and Lusail, where autonomous mobility forms a central component. Key market drivers include government funding, rising urbanization, and the need for sustainable mobility solutions. However, widespread adoption in Africa remains restrained by infrastructural inadequacies and limited digital readiness. Opportunities lie in controlled environments such as university campuses, gated communities, and business parks across select African nations. A prominent trend is the integration of solar-powered autonomous shuttles, addressing both energy and mobility challenges in off-grid areas. The MEA region is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.8%, with stronger acceleration expected in the GCC sub-region.
