Saudi Arabia’s Consumer Potential

Despite short term impacts from economic restructuring and the introduction of VAT, consumer appetite in Saudi Arabia is improving, translating into a positive outlook on a strong rebound in consumption.

Spurred by the convenience and wider product variety of shopping online, Saudi consumers have grown increasingly comfortable with e-commerce. On average, three out of five Saudi consumers shop online at least once every three months.

Unlike other western countries where Christmas and Thanksgiving are the peak selling seasons for retailers, Ramadan is the retailing highlight of the year in the Kingdom. During this holy month for the Muslim community, consumers tend to look for new apparel and footwear, as well as gifts for family and friends. According to Payfort, most shopping categories expect a seasonal surge in consumer spending during this month.

In order to capitalise on Ramadan’s revenue generating opportunities, companies engaging in cross border sales to Saudi Arabia should plan ahead for fulfilment and logistics activities. Arranging shipments earlier (at least two weeks before the commencement of Ramadan) and in larger quantities are recommended to avoid delays and inventory shortage during the month.
