Saudi truck imports fall 41% due to local demand
Saudi Arabia's imports of heavy and light trucks declined by 41% in the first quarter of 2026, totaling 13.6 thousand trucks compared to 23 thousand during the same period of the previous year. This decrease is attributed to the market reaching a state of saturation after years of rapid expansion to meet demand driven by massive projects, with the value of imports dropping by 47% to approximately 1.5 billion riyals. Data also showed that over the past three years, Saudi Arabia imported around 269,000 trucks with a total value estimated at 31 billion riyals, with a slight increase in imports during 2025. The list of top exporters has shifted, with Japan overtaking China to take the lead. Additionally, re-export operations grew by 81%, with Sudan emerging as a primary destination.
