Manufacturing
Providing real solutions to industry issues
Manufacturing remains one of the key industries for Saudi Arabia. In its various guises the Saudi Arabia manufacturing industry employs thousands of people, contributes to Saudi Arabia exports - and the Saudi Arabia is currently a growing country among manufacturing locations around the world.
There are plenty of opportunities for Saudi manufacturers to gain a competitive edge, as individual organisations and as a collective industry. The strength of Saudi Arabia manufacturing still progressing at slow pace, supported by growing Research and Development (R&D) and innovation based on the 2030 Vision, as well as making use of new and emerging technologies.
The movement towards more automation, digitisation and new materials is expected to have significant opportunities and challenges; Saudi manufacturers will need to change and invest to keep pace with national and global competitors. The pace of change over the next five to ten years will be rapid, requiring new thinking as to how best to use the different techniques that will be developed thoroughly. This is likely to have short term (education, skills, training) and long term (pressures to automate, digitise through the supply chain, reduce costs) implications.
