Based on Type, sea port held the largest market share in 2023. Sea ports dominate the Saudi Arabia Port Infrastructure market due to their fundamental role as critical gateways for international trade and maritime logistics. Saudi Arabia's strategic geographic location along major shipping routes in the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf positions its sea ports as vital hubs connecting Asia, Europe, Africa, and beyond. This strategic advantage facilitates the efficient movement of goods, commodities, and energy supplies, thereby enhancing the Kingdom's economic competitiveness on a global scale. Key sea ports in Saudi Arabia, such as Jeddah Islamic Port, King Abdulaziz Port in Dammam, and King Abdullah Port in King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC), are equipped with advanced infrastructure and facilities to handle diverse types of cargo, including bulk commodities, containerized goods, and specialized products like chemicals and automobiles. These ports feature modern container terminals, bulk handling facilities, and dedicated berths capable of accommodating large vessels, thereby supporting the rapid growth of international trade volumes.

The dominance of sea ports in Saudi Arabia's infrastructure market is underscored by ongoing investments in expanding port capacities, modernizing terminal facilities, and integrating advanced technologies such as automated container handling systems and digitalized logistics platforms. These investments aim to enhance operational efficiencies, reduce turnaround times, and optimize supply chain logistics, thereby improving overall port performance and customer satisfaction. Sea ports serve as key catalysts for economic development and industrial growth in Saudi Arabia. They facilitate the import of raw materials, machinery, and consumer goods essential for manufacturing and industrial sectors, while also supporting the export of petroleum products, petrochemicals, and manufactured goods to global markets. The development of integrated logistics hubs, industrial zones, and economic cities adjacent to sea ports further enhances their role in fostering economic diversification and attracting foreign direct investments.

Based on region, Makkah is the fastest-growing region in Saudi Arabia's port infrastructure market, fueled by strategic geographic and economic factors. As the gateway to Islam's holiest sites, Makkah is central to the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, attracting millions of visitors annually. This necessitates efficient logistical and transportation systems, including ports that handle goods and materials for tourism-related infrastructure projects. Investments in modernizing and expanding port facilities cater to increased demand for imports supporting urban development and hospitality services in the region.

The Saudi Vision 2030 initiative further accelerates growth by prioritizing economic diversification and regional development. Makkah is positioned as a key hub for trade and commerce, leveraging its proximity to major domestic markets and international shipping routes along the Red Sea. Ports in this region are being upgraded with advanced technologies, automation, and expanded capacities to support these ambitions, boosting their operational efficiency and global competitiveness.
