saudi arabia is going through big changes and you can feel it everywhere new buildings new ideas new jobs and more people talking about business and future and one of the biggest parts of this change is the factories yes the industrial sector is growing fast and vision 2030 is the power behind it
this is not just about building factories it’s about connecting them to the world and making sure the products made in saudi can compete in global markets this is the heart of saudi industry and vision 2030 the plan is clear help local factory grow and make saudi global player in industry and trade
this blog will talk about how that is happening what steps are being taken and how industrial exports vision 2030 is now turning into real action
what is vision 2030 really about
vision 2030 is a national plan started by crown prince mohammed bin salman it wants to change the saudi economy so it is not only about oil it wants to open new doors in tourism technology health education and of course industry
for the industrial part the goals are to build more factories hire more saudis improve product quality and start exporting more this is a big step for a country that used to import almost everything now it wants to be the exporter
saudi industry and vision 2030 means making things in saudi and selling them to the world from plastic parts to medical tools from food to electronics
why factories are important in this plan
factories do more than just make products they create jobs train people grow the economy and help small cities become strong when you have a factory in your town people work there shops open around it and life gets better
also factories help reduce the need to import everything if you make your own machines clothes food or furniture you save money and become more independent
and when your factories are strong enough to export then you bring money from other countries this is the goal of industrial exports vision 2030
what has been done so far
a lot has already happened new industrial zones are built with ready lands and cheap services rules are made easier for investors and startups smart factories are opening with new machines and systems
there is also strong support from the government like giving loans training and export tools so small and big factories can grow
the results are starting to show in just a few years the number of saudi factories has gone up fast and many are now sending their products outside the country
connecting factories to the world
to connect saudi factories to the world we need more than just products we need good transport fast shipping smart systems trade deals and business links and that is also part of saudi industry and vision 2030
big ports like jeddah and king abdullah are now working faster with digital systems dry ports are also opening near factories to make it easy to ship goods quickly
customs are faster now and there are new rules to help saudi products reach buyers in africa asia europe and beyond
this is all part of making industrial exports vision 2030 a real thing not just a plan on paper
helping small factories go global
before only big companies could export now small factories are also getting a chance with tools like the saudi export platform and made in saudi program small businesses can show their products to buyers around the world
they get help with packaging documents marketing and translation this helps them look professional and win deals
also there are trade fairs and online events where saudi factories can meet global importers and show what they can do this is how the country is connecting saudi factories to the world
training the workers for the new industry
you cannot grow factories without skilled people and that is why training is a big part of vision 2030 new colleges and centers are teaching young saudis how to use machines fix systems and manage factories
also women are now working more in the industrial field this makes the sector stronger and brings new energy and ideas
by building a smart workforce saudi is making sure the quality of products is high and ready for global markets this support the goal of industrial exports vision 2030
focus on quality and standards
global buyers want good products not just cheap ones and saudi understands that that’s why there is now big focus on quality standards and certifications
factories are now following iso systems food safety rules and green production laws this makes it easy to sell in countries like germany uk japan and usa
also the government checks and supports factories to keep their level high and help them fix problems this helps protect the image of made in saudi and push saudi industry and vision 2030 forward
green industry and clean energy
today the world wants clean industry saudi is doing its part factories are now using solar power recycling waste and saving water this is not just good for the planet but also helps sell to global buyers who care about green products
industrial zones are also being built with green ideas and this supports the long term goals of industrial exports vision 2030
key sectors growing fast
some sectors in Saudi industry are moving faster than others here are a few
- food and beverage from dates to juice to frozen food saudi factories are now exporting these to europe gulf and asia
- chemical and plastic with the oil base Saudi makes high value plastic parts and packaging items for export
- construction materials steel cement pipes and glass are now made in large scale and sent to other countries
- medical and pharma new factories are making tools and medicine and selling them in global markets
- electrical and tech parts for smart devices and small machines are now made in smart factories and exported
these are all part of the growing Saudi industry and vision 2030 plan
role of the private sector
vision 2030 is not only about government it is also about private companies many saudi businesses are now taking the lead in building factories hiring talent and finding export markets
they are using tech marketing and strategy to grow and they are working with partners from other countries to learn more and sell more
this private sector push is very important to meet the goals of industrial exports vision 2030
building trust with global buyers
to grow exports saudi factories must build trust this means being on time giving good service and staying clear on terms
buyers want to feel safe when they order from another country that’s why saudi factories are working harder on communication fast replies and support after sale
also branding and packaging are getting better this helps show saudi products as high level and reliable
digital tools to support export
tools like saudi export portal export training systems and b2b platforms are now helping factories connect with buyers
they offer services like market research translation shipping help and export paperwork
these tools are making it easier for any factory to join the world market and they are a big part of connecting saudi factory to the world
success stories of factories going global
many saudi factories have already made it to the global level for example a food company in riyadh now sells frozen meals to 10 countries factory in jeddah makes metal parts used in africa and asia and a pharma plant in dammam exports to europe
these stories show that the dream of industrial exports vision 2030 is real and already happening
