Ecommerce in Saudi Arabia 2020
Saudi Arabia has grown tremendously from just as an oil market to a high potential online market owing to the support from its government. It is one of the largest and growing digital markets thanks to the internet-savvy population as Saudi Arabia has an increasing number in smartphone usage. Studies have shown the majority of smartphone users in Saudi Arabia use the internet at least once a day and a high portion of them have their presence on any of the major social media platforms. Saud Arabia is a country with almost 3/4th of the population being locals, and the oil market has made them wealthy and tech-savvy.
Prince Mohammed has been encouraging and transforming the country by making all the necessary reforms and economic transformations to decrease the country’s dependence on oil revenue. There are many socio-economic reforms such as removing the stringent control over women including eliminating the driving ban, letting students study at universities, get medical surgery facilities, or take up a job without the aid of a guardian. These changes for aiding women centered reforms are having a big influence on eCommerce sales and mobile app development companies in Bangalore with the opening up for the new type of customers.
This enhancement of the E-commerce market size in Saudi Arabia is because of the business striving to adopt the latest technology for expanding their market areas, enhance their competitive benefits and add more usefulness to the shopping facilities. This is highly linked to the recent reforms by the prince and government around the entertainment industry, driving, letting women to fitness centers, etc. These measures have given more employment chances to women resulting in more economic empowerment.
Digital payments and the popular cash on delivery are the highly preferred mode of payments among the younger generations while card payment is a highly preferred option among mature audiences and male customers. There had been a lot of hesitancy among the Saudi population for using credit cards and hence the cash on delivery was the major mode of payment. But with the enhancement of the digital payment ecosystem and mobile wallet technology, customers are opening up to the new mode of payments. This has allowed the e-commerce segment to provide a wide range of delivery options and also enhance the profits for both customers and sellers.
The Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) has been pushing for electronic payments with a focus to decrease the dependency on the cash ecosystem. They have introduced many digital payment systems such as Saudi Arabian Riyal Interbank Express and the online bill payment portal SADAD. Mobile wallets have been on the rise in the region as many international tech companies, operators, and local banks are introducing payment solutions along with the encouragement of user and merchant adoption.
As internet usage is drastically increased in the region, customers are highly interested in using social media like never before. Due to this, major sellers are employing them to promote their products. Added to this, Saudi Arabia has a strong offline retail segment that can be transformed and used effectively for authorizing their presence on the ecommerce platform. This will also enhance the trust issues across product quality, payment, and delivery among customers.
