Middle East and Africa General Aviation Market Trends

Oil and gas and real estate were the major industries that boosted the growth of HNWIs in the Middle East

  • From 2017 to 2022, there was a surge of around 118% in the UHNWI population in the Middle East compared to Africa, where the number of UHNWIs surged only by around 4.4% in the same period. In 2022, the number of UHNWIs in the Middle East increased by 8%, while Africa experienced a 0.8% decrease compared to 2021.
  • The HNWI-friendly policies of the Middle East led to the migration of a large number of HNWIs into these countries. For instance, in 2022, the United Arab Emirates was expected to attract the largest number of high-net-worth individuals. An inflow of around 4,000 millionaires is expected in the country. Most of the HNWIs belong to India, Russia, Africa, and other Middle Eastern countries. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Turkey were the major countries in terms of the UHNWI population, witnessing growth rates of 98%, 57%, and 59%, respectively, during 2017-2022.
  • In the Middle East, the growth in the HNWI population was majorly led by the United Arab Emirates and Israel due to an increase in tech industrial focus. The recovery in oil prices also helped the GDP growth of the Middle East and North Africa, reaching 4.3% in 2022 compared to a contraction of 3.9% in 2021. Financial services, basic materials, real estate, transportation, and logistics were the major industries that accounted for a large number of HNWIs in the region.
