Heatwaves increase car cover costs
The current heatwave has led to a significant rise in vehicle cover (sail) prices, with some types increasing by over 200%. Some covers now cost more than 800 riyals compared to previous prices of around 300 riyals. Sellers attribute the price hikes to increased demand during the summer, along with rising shipping, import, and raw material costs, especially for high-quality products. Additionally, the unavailability of the appropriate size prompts customers to have covers custom-made, at a cost of approximately 900 riyals. Meanwhile, experts recommend comparing prices and quality before purchasing, emphasizing the importance of covers in protecting vehicles from sun rays, rain, and dust—thereby extending the car's lifespan and maintaining its value. Projections indicate that demand will continue during the summer, with the global market for car covers currently estimated at between $1.0 and $1.2 billion annually, with potential growth of 4% to 6% each year.
