Saudi Arabia`s import trend for inks in the Saudi Arabia market showed a growth rate of 6.61% from 2023 to 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -28.2% for the period of 2020-2024. This significant rebound in import momentum from 2023 to 2024 could be attributed to a resurgence in demand for inks driven by economic recovery efforts and increased market stability following the challenges experienced in previous years.
Saudi Arabia is a major oil producer and exporter, and has the largest economy in the Middle East. It is also one of the top five countries in terms of foreign direct investments, which accounts for more than 20% of total FDI flows into emerging markets. Saudi Arabia also holds significant potential in terms of infrastructure development, given its population size (34 million) and economic diversity. The country??s reliance on oil exports leaves it vulnerable to swings in global crude prices; however, with a long-term goal of economic diversification by 2031, there are numerous opportunities within non-oil sectors such as banking and finance, healthcare, technology/ICT services, construction & engineering services and retail that can be explored over the next decade.
Tapping Non Oil based Sectors: With a focus on reducing dependence on oil revenues by 2031 through economic diversification efforts like Vision 2031 plan , Saudi Arabia offers immense growth prospects across various non-oil industries including ICT services , Healthcare , Retail etc . The Government initiatives like National Transformation Program 2025 are aimed at driving infrastructural investments across multiple sectors . This will create an opportunity for businesses to invest their resources into new projects thus fuelling market growth .
Some rigid regulations along with limited access to finance may hamper business operations as well as overall market outlook . Additionally , bureaucratic hurdles may affect investment decisions leading to further slowdown.
The outbreak had drastic effect on trading activities due to disruption caused by travel restrictions imposed worldwide resulting in slowing down export trends from key industry players . Moreover reduced consumer spending coupled with uncertain macroeconomic conditions have challenged market dynamics leading towards steep decline during first half 2025 ; however gradual recovery was observed post August indicating positive outlook ahead.
Major players include SAP SE (Germany), Oracle Corporation (USA) Microsoft Corporation(USA), IBM Corporation(USA), Hewlett

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
