Saudi Non-Oil Exports Continue Their Growth as Global Demand Expands
Published 20 July 2026 · 4 min read · By Saudimade Editorial
Non-oil goods exports reached SAR 225 billion in 2025 and services exports reached SAR 260 billion, an annual increase of 11 percent — a signal for buyers consolidating Saudi sourcing.
Saudi non-oil exports continued their multi-year expansion in 2025, with non-oil goods exports reaching SAR 225 billion — up from SAR 217 billion in 2024 — while services exports reached SAR 260 billion, growing at eleven percent year-on-year, according to the annual review published by Saudi Exports.
The composition of that growth matters as much as its size. Non-oil goods span food and beverage, petrochemicals, building materials, healthcare and consumer categories — the same sectors that most international distributors, wholesalers and government buyers are asking for by name.
For international buyers evaluating supplier diversification, the numbers describe a supply base that is large enough to absorb consolidated purchase orders and mature enough to meet destination compliance standards across most major markets.
The Saudimade read
The Saudimade read: consolidating Saudi sourcing through a single Saudi counterparty removes the two frictions that usually slow international buyers — supplier identification and export execution. Non-oil growth of this scale means the supply is there; what buyers need is a way in.
Practically, that means one requirement brief, one commercial line, one export coordinator handling documentation, freight and delivery — across any of the eight Saudi export sectors we cover.
