The delivery sector in Saudi Arabia witnessed significant growth in 2024, with the total number of orders reaching 290m across various regions of the Kingdom.
This growth reflects the continuous expansion of the logistics market and the increasing demand for fast and flexible delivery solutions.
Currently, 61 companies licensed by the Transport General Authority (TGA) operate in the delivery sector.

Riyadh topped the list with more than 130.5m orders, accounting for 45 per cent of the total. It was followed by Makkah Region with 65.4m orders (22.7 per cent) and the Eastern Region with 43.2m orders (15 per cent).
Madinah Region recorded 12.3m orders (4.3 per cent), while Aseer Region accounted for 9.4m orders (3.2 per cent). Qassim Region followed with 8.5m orders (2.9 per cent), then Tabuk with 5.2m orders (1.8 per cent), Hail with 4.1m orders (1.4 per cent), and Jazan with 3.3m orders (1.1 per cent).
The remaining orders were distributed across other regions based on population density and demand for delivery services.
The TGA attributed this growth to several key factors, including the development of regulations and policies that enabled companies to provide high-quality and efficient services, enhancements in digital infrastructure, and support for innovation in the logistics sector.
These efforts have improved response times for customer requests and increased market competitiveness. Additionally, changing consumer behaviour and a growing reliance on e-commerce have fuelled demand for delivery services.
Continuous investments in advanced technological solutions and automation of operational processes have further enhanced delivery efficiency and improved the overall customer experience in Saudi Arabia.
