Transport Authority Reports 40% Surge In Delivery Orders Across Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia's delivery services sector experienced notable growth in the third quarter of 2025. Over 103 million orders were completed across the Kingdom, marking a 40% increase compared to the same period in 2024. This surge highlights the expanding parcel delivery services and the rising demand for e-commerce and logistics within the country.

The Transport General Authority (TGA) attributes this growth to several key factors. The development of regulations and frameworks has enabled companies to improve service quality and operational efficiency. Additionally, strengthening digital infrastructure and supporting innovation in logistics services have played significant roles.

Changes in consumer behavior have also contributed to this growth. As more people rely on e-commerce, the demand for delivery services has increased. Investments in advanced technological solutions have further improved response speed and enhanced market competitiveness.

According to TGA’s figures, Riyadh Region led with a 42.96% share of completed orders. Makkah Region followed with 22.42%, while Eastern Region accounted for 15.77%. Madinah Region contributed 4.91% of total orders, with Aseer Region at 4.07% and Qassim Region at 2.82%.

Other regions also participated in this growth. Tabuk Region accounted for 1.84%, Hail Region for 1.73%, and Jazan Region for 1.18%. Al-Jouf Region followed with a share of 0.74%, then Najran Region with 0.69%, Northern Borders Region with 0.55%, and finally Al-Baha Region with 0.27%.

This expansion in Saudi Arabia's delivery sector reflects a broader trend towards digitalisation and efficiency improvements in logistics, driven by regulatory support and technological advancements.
