Saudi Arabia has recently witnessed significant development in its economy, as part of the efforts to achieve Vision 2030, which presents a major opportunity for many ambitious entrepreneurs. Therefore, it’s important to explore successful business project ideas that offer a great chance for entrepreneurs and align with the Kingdom’s vision.
Currently, technology-related and e-commerce projects represent the biggest investment opportunities, with high chances of success and minimal risk. This sector is wide open for investment and allows for many creative ideas.
Here are some successful business project ideas you can start with:
E-commerce stores are increasingly replacing physical stores, as they make the purchasing process easier for the customer and make operations much simpler for the store owner. There are many product categories you can focus on in your e-commerce store, such as:
The development happening in the Kingdom has helped highlight locally made products and increased demand for them both locally and globally. You can launch an e-commerce store specializing in selling products such as perfumes, oils, incense, coffee, and dates.
With a modern and authentic design that suits the online store, you can attract the younger generation interested in online shopping, while maintaining a Saudi design identity that adds authenticity and credibility and attracts more buyers worldwide.
One of the projects that have proven successful in recent years, and continues to grow, is clothing and fashion stores.
You can design an e-commerce store for clothing and fashion with delivery options to wider areas, and a well-organized layout that helps buyers quickly find the products they want.
These are essential products used daily, so offering them through an online store with easier purchasing options is a great idea.
The store can include imported products such as Korean personal care products, which are currently very popular worldwide. Locally made and natural products also have a wide audience. Offering all these categories in your store can contribute to notable success.
Despite the presence of major delivery companies, there are still areas in Saudi Arabia with weak logistics services. Launching a delivery service based on a smart app and flexible services to meet the needs of these areas would have a great chance of success—especially if linked to local e-commerce stores.
Environmental awareness is growing in the Kingdom, creating a promising market for eco-friendly products such as reusable kitchenware, clothing made from natural materials, and chemical-free care products. This kind of store attracts a growing segment of consumers interested in social responsibility.
With the increasing number of entrepreneurs, there is a growing need for consulting services in areas such as company formation, digital marketing, inventory management, and user experience improvement.
These services can be provided through a website offering valuable free content supported by paid consultations or digital workshops.
There is growing demand for educational content for children, especially local content that respects cultural and Islamic values. Entrepreneurs can develop a digital platform that blends education and entertainment and serves a wide range of Saudi families, with the option of monthly subscriptions.
Despite the notable success digital projects can achieve, this success does not depend solely on the products, as some may think. Although marketing is important for online stores and digital projects, good marketing with poor user experience is a waste of money and reputation.
User experience is the main standard that determines the project’s success or failure. At Fehris, we understand this well and help improve user experience through features such as:
