How AI-driven insights, cloud-based analytics platforms, and real-time data processing are empowering smarter decision-making, operational efficiency, and digital innovation across the Saudi Arabia data analytics market.

According to IMARC Group's latest research publication, Saudi Arabia data analytics market size reached USD 887.7 Million in 2025. The market is projected to reach USD 7,826.4 Million by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 27.36% during 2026-2034.
How Vision 2030 is Transforming Saudi Arabia's Data Analytics Landscape
- Digital Transformation Leadership: Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 initiative has positioned the Kingdom as a regional leader in data analytics adoption. The government has established the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA), which drives national data governance and promotes AI-powered analytics across sectors. Over 11,000 datasets from more than 100 government entities are now available through the national open data platform, enabling innovation and transparency.
- Mega-Project Data Ecosystems: Projects like NEOM and the Red Sea Project generate massive data volumes requiring advanced analytics platforms. NEOM's sensor network alone streams more than 1 petabyte of data daily, creating demand for real-time analytics capabilities across energy, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability applications.
- AI Investment Fund: The Kingdom launched a USD 40 billion sovereign AI fund in 2024 to accelerate technology adoption. This includes the historic USD 100 billion Project Transcendence initiative announced recently, focusing on sovereign AI models and advanced data analytics infrastructure to support economic diversification.
- Workforce Development: The National Strategy for Data and AI targets attracting USD 20 billion in AI investments and training 20,000 AI specialists and data scientists. The One Million Saudis in AI (SAMAI) initiative has already registered over 560,000 Saudis to learn AI fundamentals, addressing the skilled talent gap.
- Economic Impact Platforms: Government analytics platforms like Estishraf have generated over SAR 51 billion in savings for more than 121 agencies, while the Ehsan platform facilitated over SAR 12 billion in donations. These demonstrate the tangible economic benefits of data-driven decision-making in the public sector.
