Saudi Arabia is among the few countries that use crude oil directly to generate power. In summer, the country witnesses a spike in the consumption of electricity as the demand for air conditioning rises. In July 2014, Saudi Arabia burned 0.9 million barrels of crude oil to generate electricity that has been termed as the highest overall since August 2010 by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). Owing to the growing demand for electricity across the construction sector, the electrical market in Saudi Arabia has witnessed a rise in the usage of low voltage products and cable management systems. The Saudi Arabia electrical market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 10.4% during the period between 2015 and 2023. The overall market was worth US$4,510.1mn in 2014 and is estimated to reach a valuation of US$10,856.8 mn by 2023.
Demand for Low Voltage Systems Drove Saudi Arabia Electrical Market in 2014
