Saudi Arabia's E-Commerce Market is expected to reach US$ 20.01 Billion in 2027. The digital economy has grown dramatically over time, with internet connectivity becoming widely available worldwide.

Saudi Arabia's E-Commerce Market Size is expanding at a CAGR of 20.87% from 2022 to 2027:
Saudi Arabia's e-commerce sector is expanding due to increased smartphone usage, social media usage, and internet penetration. Furthermore, this has prompted international e-commerce market suppliers to invest in the country. According to Invest Saudi, the government will have 575 new foreign investment projects in 2021. The rise in these international ventures is due to the country's booming e-commerce and retail markets.
By Category, Fashion is expected to hold a Major Share:

The surge in users of social media and smartphones, for example, has fuelled demand for online purchasing and commerce. Moreover, several fashion firms plan to extend their presence in the Saudi Arabian market. In March 2022, for example, noon.com announced the opening of its new 45,000m2 Customer Fulfilment Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This will allow them to transport their items quickly around the country.
