Women’s market west of Riyadh faces 30 years of shopping changes

The popular women's market in the Tuwaiq neighborhood south of Riyadh, established in 1992 and comprising over a thousand shops, is facing a significant decline in commercial activity due to rising rent costs and product prices, along with the impact of online shopping, which is estimated to account for approximately 76.9% of consumers in Saudi Arabia engaging in direct purchasing. Although the market maintains close relationships between vendors and their customers, sales have dropped by as much as 70% compared to the past. Currently, the market relies more heavily on seasonal and niche products, while some vendors continue to depend on personal bonds as a key source of stability and resilience in the face of technological and commercial changes.
