Executive Summary

Saudi Arabia has the biggest IT market in the Gulf region, with a value of US$3.4bn in 2008 expected to rise to US$5.6bn by 2013, a CAGR of 11%. Despite an economic slowdown, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia appears better placed than some other markets in the region to withstand the current global economic headwinds.

There were reports in H208 of IT managers looking to cut costs, and projects being scaled back in key sectors for IT projects such as Construction, Education and Finance. Many companies, hit by slowdowns in key export markets and credit tightening, were looking to cut costs, and letting replacement cycles stretch another year.

However Saudi Arabia’s IT market has a number of positive factors to help it avoid stagnation, including fairly resilient consumer demand, and ongoing infrastructure projects in major verticals such as oil and gas, power, education and telecoms. BMI predicts that per-capita IT spend will reach US$170 by 2013, with PC penetration rising to nearly 30%. Youthful population demographics, retail sector development and economic diversification will all drive growth.

Industry Developments

In June 2008 Saudi Arabia’s governing Shoura Council approved a draft national strategy for the IT industry which aimed to raise the contribution of the industry to GDP to 20% by 2020. The Council issued instructions requiring government bodies to implement e-government programmes in line with national policy, and requiring relevant bodies to provide necessary funds for such implementation.

The Saudi Arabian State Budget 2008 placed ‘special emphasis’ on e-government. Spending on e-administration in Saudi Arabia is set to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year. In 2007 the Saudi Council of Ministers approved the latest national plan to guide the country’s continued transformation into a knowledge-based society and economy.

The Saudi government has signed off on a US$3.1bn plan to improve the education system. The focus of the plan is to equip schools to keep pace with scientific and technological activities. A separate allocation of SAR2.4bn has been earmarked to pay for training for 400,000 teachers. Providing teachers with computer skills is seen as essential to helping them become familiar with modern developments and changes.
