Saudi Arabia launched an initiative in 2022 to develop local transportation for around 9,000 industrial products
- In 2022, Saudi Arabia launched an initiative aimed at developing local transportation and supply chains for around 9,000 industrial products. This initiative is expected to enable the identification of manufacturing opportunities that attract local and foreign investment. Saudi Arabia launched new initiatives in 2021 to help provide fresh momentum for the drive to diversify, industrialize, and energize the private sector. It included the Shareek (partner) investment program, which aims to release USD 1.3 trillion of domestic private-sector investment into the economy by 2030.
- The Saudi Arabian retail sector is forecasted to grow to USD 159 billion (SAR 596 billion) by 2024. Retail accounted for 22.8% of Saudi’s non-oil GDP as of the third quarter of 2022, according to the General Authority for Statistics. A lot of this growth is driven by e-commerce and luxury. Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce channel is primed for continued growth. By 2024, the number of Saudi Arabian internet users for e-commerce (selling and buying) is expected to reach 33.6 million, an increase of 42% from 2019.
- The agricultural production capacity of the greenhouses is expected to reach over 1 million tons annually and is expected to drive the demand for road freight services. The growth in the agriculture output is attributed to the Kingdom’s National Strategy for Agriculture 2030, which seeks to create a sustainable sector that achieves food and water security. Similarly, an increase in construction activities is expected to drive the construction end-user segment. Over 5,200 projects across Saudi Arabia, with a combined worth of USD 819 billion, are currently underway, representing 35% of all active GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) projects.
