The increase was driven by broad-based growth across key sectors:
- Mining and quarrying: +6 per cent year-on-year
- Manufacturing: +11.1 per cent
- Electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply: +5.6 per cent
- Water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation: +6.9 per cent
Based on main economic activities, oil activities rose by 7.7 per cent, while non-oil activities saw a stronger gain of 8.6 per cent — reflecting the Kingdom’s continued progress in diversifying its industrial base while maintaining robust energy sector output.

The Industrial Production Index is released monthly and tracks relative changes in the volume of production across the Kingdom’s key industrial activities. Data is collected through the Industrial Production Survey, which samples establishments involved in:
- Mining and quarrying
- Manufacturing
- Electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply
- Water supply, sewerage, waste management, and remediation services
The latest figures highlight Saudi Arabia’s ongoing industrial expansion in line with its Vision 2030 strategy, which aims to boost manufacturing capacity, strengthen non-oil industries, and enhance overall economic resilience.
