Saudi Arabia Road Freight Transport Market Trends & Drivers:

Saudi Arabia's road freight transport market is experiencing robust growth driven by massive infrastructure investments under Vision 2030, with the kingdom investing approximately SAR 7.5 billion ($2 billion) in new transportation initiatives in 2025, including an 8,000 km road network expansion and over 200 new bridges in the Tabuk region alone.
