Retail in Saudi Arabia Expands Steadily as Grocery Formats and Value Channels Drive Growth in 2025
Retail in Saudi Arabia is demonstrating resilience and dynamism, with value sales expanding to SAR436.12 billion in 2025, up 5% year-on-year, underpinned by robust non-oil economic activity and increasing urbanisation. The environment is marked by intensifying competition and innovation, as both established and digital-first operators seek to capture rising demand for convenience, value, and omnichannel experiences. This landscape remains attractive due to ongoing government investment, a buoyant consumer confidence index of 3.2, and a high household expenditure share of 48% of GDP, which collectively support sustained momentum in both store-based and online channels. Companies seeking success in Saudi retail must respond to heightened price sensitivity, rapidly shifting digital habits, and consumer expectations for seamless engagement, which requires investment in digital platforms, loyalty, and ecosystem strategies that bridge physical and online touchpoints.

Retail
Retail is the sale of new and used goods to consumers from a business for personal or household consumption from retail outlets, kiosks, market stalls, vending, direct selling and e-commerce. Retail is the aggregation of Retail Offline and Retail E-Commerce. Excludes specialist retailers of motor vehicles, motorcycles, vehicle parts. Also excludes fuel sales, foodservice sales, rental transactions, wholesale sales (e.g. Cash and Carry), and sales through cannabis dispensaries in markets where cannabis is sold legally. Sales value excluding or including VAT/Sales Tax. Retail also excludes the informal retail sector. Informal retailing is retail trade which is not declared to the tax authorities. Informal retailing encompasses (a) sales generated by unregistered and unlicensed retailers, i.e. retailers operating illegally, and (b) any proportion of sales generated by a registered and licensed retailer that is not declared to the tax authorities. Unregistered and unlicensed retailers operate predominantly (although not exclusively) as street hawkers or operate open market stalls, as these channels are harder for the authorities to monitor than permanent outlets. Activities in the illegal market, which is usually understood to refer to trade in illegal, counterfeit or stolen merchandise, are included within our definition of informal retailing. Activities in the “grey market”, which is usually understood to refer to trade in legal merchandise that is sold through unauthorized channels – for example cigarettes bought legally in another country, legally imported, but sold at lower prices than in authorized channels – will be included as informal retailing if no tax is paid on sale by the retailer. However if the retailer pays tax – for example on cigarettes bought legally in another country but sold at a lower price than standard – the sale is included within formal retail.
