Saudi entertainment licenses rise 62% in two years
Recreation centers in Saudi Arabia have experienced strong growth in recent years. The number of active commercial licenses for this activity increased from 5,216 in 2024 to 8,462 by the end of the first half of 2026, representing a nearly 62% rise over two years. The sector primarily focuses on indoor gaming centers, especially for children, and is witnessing significant expansion within shopping malls and neighborhoods. Operating hours have also increased, reaching over 13 hours per day during weekends. The offerings vary, including motorized and electronic games, along with additional services such as cafes and nurseries. There is a trend toward subscription packages and pricing starting from 59 Riyals per hour. This growth reflects a rising demand for entertainment and cultural activities, with 75.3% of the population attending cultural events or activities in 2025. It also supports the transformation of these centers into comprehensive destinations that combine entertainment, shopping, and family services.
