Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce market is on track to reach $14.78 billion this year, with projections to hit $25 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 11.08%, according to Statista.com. This growth is fueled by the increasing number of internet users, expected to reach 33.6 million.
As the kingdom undergoes significant digital transformation, the need for top-tier web developers, coders, mobile application, and e-commerce platform developers is crucial. WebCastle Technologies, a Dubai-based e-commerce leader, recently entered the Saudi market and won the prestigious Best E-Commerce Agency Award at the 6th Middle East Retail & E-Commerce Summit and Awards KSA held at the Marriott Hotel in Riyadh.
