Saudi Arabia is shifting into overdrive, with technology powering its rise as a global manufacturing titan.

The Kingdom’s Industry 4.0 sector is set to triple industrial GDP to SR895bn by 2030. In early 2024 alone, SR38.6bn flowed into manufacturing, with 410 new licences and 505 factories creating over 11K jobs.

Tech is the driving force—IoT, AI, and robotics are transforming factories into smart, data-driven hubs, boosting real-time efficiency. Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are revolutionising customisation with minimal waste. With sustainable practices, digital twins, and major projects like Naver’s twin cities, Saudi Arabia is building the future of smarter factories.
