Saudi Arabia has paved the way for development through its ambitious Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy, advance non-oil sectors, and increase the contribution of the private sector to the GDP. This goal cannot be achieved without the growth of industry and mining, as they serve as fundamental pillars of major economies. The Kingdom is committed to increasing their contribution to its GDP by approximately 15%.
When discussing the industrial sector in Saudi Arabia, it is essential to acknowledge that it is not a recent development but has deep roots dating back to the discovery of oil in the late 1930s. Over the decades, the Kingdom has spared no effort in advancing its industries. This commitment led to the establishment of the Industrial Development Fund (1974), the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (1975), and later, the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) in 1976. The contributions of these institutions and the programs they have implemented have played a crucial role in the growth and modernization of the industrial sector.
As a result of years of dedicated efforts, the number of factories in Saudi Arabia has now exceeded 10,000.
