Description

The MENA & GCC bus market size is expected to reach USD 2.46 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “MENA & GCC Bus Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report: By Length (6m, 6-8m, 8-10m, 10-12m, above 12m), By Fuel Type, By Seating Capacity, By Application, and By Region; Market Forecast, 2025–2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

A bus, essentially a high-capacity vehicle designed for mass passenger transport, remains a cornerstone of efficient urban mobility. The market is driven by the shift toward electric and eco-friendly buses, which aligns with the broader emphasis on sustainable transportation. The adoption of cleaner, energy-efficient buses is becoming increasingly critical as cities and transport operators focus on reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental performance. This transition addresses environmental concerns and also enhances operational efficiency through lower fuel and maintenance costs, reinforcing the bus’s role in modern transit systems.

The rising government investment in public transport infrastructure further drives the bus market. Strategic funding directed toward fleet modernization, network expansion, and integration of advanced technologies has strengthened public transportation systems and encouraged wider adoption. These investments make buses a more attractive alternative to private vehicles, supporting sustainable urban mobility and long-term growth in public transportation networks by improving service quality, accessibility, and reliability.

MENA & GCC Bus Market Report Highlights

In terms of length, the below 6m bus segment held a 30.03% revenue share in 2024, favored for last-mile connectivity due to its compact size and urban maneuverability.

Based on fuel type, the electric bus segment will grow fastest at 10.09% CAGR during the forecast period, fueled by green mobility investments, eco-conscious policies, and fleet electrification incentives.

MENA dominated the bus market in 2024, led by urbanization, population growth, and expanding public transport networks in major cities.

The GCC market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period, supported by government efforts to diversify transport systems and reduce private vehicle reliance.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
