Trillion and Rising: NIDLP’s Silent Shift Toward a Global Logistics Hub 🔹In just six years, the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) has quietly crossed a trillion riyals in non-oil GDP contribution. But beneath that figure lies something deeper: the rise of a fully integrated, investor-ready economic environment. 🔹This is not just policy—it’s execution at scale. The program has delivered: ▪️ 514 billion riyals in non-oil exports, up 13.2% ▪️ 217B in goods, 207B in services, 90B in re-exports ▪️ 1,231B riyals in local content across non-oil sectors ▪️ 3,107 final licenses in high-potential industries ▪️ 23 logistics centers (up from just 2 in 2019) ▪️ Port utilization up to 64%, customs clearance down to 2 hours ▪️ 1,511 new factories, bringing the total to 12,589 ▪️ Renewable energy projects now exceeding 20 GW ▪️ 296 licensed defense companies, with military localization at 19.35%—up from 4% in 2018 and on track to exceed 50% by 2030, supported by SAR 13 billion in domestic defense contracts 🔹This level of execution has outpaced even its own targets. In industrial licensing, in logistics infrastructure, in energy efficiency, and in the localization of key sectors—from defense to pharmaceuticals to EV supply chains. 🔹Under the leadership of Eng. Suliman Almazroua, NIDLP laid the foundation between 2019 and mid-2025. Today, he leads Saudi Ports Authority (Mawani), guiding the next wave: turning ports into global trade engines. 🔹Meanwhile, NIDLP continues to deliver at scale—with 284 national initiatives, 163 already complete. The shift is not loud, but it is decisive. Saudi Arabia is not just diversifying. It is positioning itself—deliberately—as an industrial and logistics powerhouse. 📊 Full snapshot in the image below. #NIDLP #SaudiEconomy #Vision2030 #LogisticsHub #NonOilGrowth #IndustrialTransformation #InvestInSaudi #Mawani #SuleimanAlMazroua #ExportPower #DefenseLocalization #EnergyTransition #FDIReady #SupplyChainLeadership #NIDLP2024
