“It’s closer to 14 per cent, I think, based on the data that’s available with us carmakers and local dealerships,” said Alex Gu, General Manager, Geely Auto Middle East. “There are still a few Chinese carmakers that do not share their sales numbers, but what we can see is that taken together we now have a double-digit share of the UAE market. It’s the same in Saudi Arabia.
“What makes it interesting is that this shift from 1 per cent share to 14 per cent in the UAE happened quite rapidly, much of which in the last 2-3 years.”
