Transport and logistics are an economy’s connective tissue, enabling efficient movement of goods, people, and information across domestic and international networks. In Saudi Arabia, transportation and logistics have been reshaped under Vision 2030 and the National Transport and Logistics Strategy with the Saudi government recognizing logistics modernization as a strategic imperative and its central role in economic resilience, trade facilitation, and industrial competitiveness. This reform agenda spans governance and regulation, market structure, infrastructure investment, and digitization. It has modernized port and airport operating models, expanded rail and road corridors, streamlined border and customs processes, and led to the creation of new data platforms. Given its significance, the authors have sought to provide an overview of key developments and future strategic implications for the sector. This will be divided into two reports which aim to provide a “snapshot” of the current institutional strategic planning framework and the implementation of specific Vision 2030 objectives related to the logistics and transportation sectors in contemporary Saudi Arabia. Project findings were developed and conducted by Dr. Mark C. Thompson, head of the Socioeconomics Program at the King Faisal Centre for Research and Islamic Studies (KFCRIS), and Adam Daoud and his team at the Saudi Logistics Academy (affiliated with the Transport General Authority). The project was presented at a closed Saudi government workshop convened in London in August 2024 and at the Global Logistics Forum held in Riyadh in October 2024.
