Surge in Saudi Non-Oil Exports
Riyadh | B | BETH
—
Saudi Arabia’s non-oil exports recorded a historic surge in 2025, reaching approximately SAR 624 billion ($166–167 billion), reflecting the accelerating pace of economic transformation under Vision 2030.
Non-oil exports increased compared to 2024, which recorded around SAR 543 billion ($144.7 billion), marking a 15% growth rate, the highest on record.
According to the Saudi Export Development Authority, this performance was driven by expansion across multiple sectors, along with the growing contribution of services and re-exports, strengthening the Kingdom’s position in global supply chains.
The components of non-oil exports in 2025 were distributed as follows:
- Goods exports: SAR 225 billion ($60 billion)
- Services exports: SAR 260 billion ($69 billion)
- Re-exports: SAR 139 billion ($37 billion)
This distribution reflects a structural shift in exports—from reliance on goods alone to a diversified model that includes services and trade-related activities.

This figure is not just an increase in exports…
but a transformation in the very definition of “non-oil.”
It is no longer about exporting products…
but exporting an integrated economic system:
- services
- logistics
- re-exports
- and integration into global supply chains
This means Saudi Arabia has not only reduced its reliance on oil…
but has begun building an economy that is itself exportable.
Non-oil is no longer an alternative…
it has become a new engine of growth.
