WebCastle Technologies plans to accelerate the business growth of its Saudi Arabian clients by migrating their online businesses to the Web 3 technology platforms.
The winning of the Best E-Commerce Agency Award 2024 by WebCastle Technologies comes as revenue in the E-commerce market in Saudi Arabia is poised to reach US$14.78 billion by 2024. The E-commerce revenue is expected to record a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.08 percent to US$25 billion by 2029, according to Statista.com, a global market intelligence provider.
According to the US Department of Commerce, Saudi Arabia’s e-commerce channel is primed for continued growth. By 2024, the number of Saudi internet users for e-commerce (selling and buying) is expected to reach 33.6 million, an increase of 42 percent from 2019.
“While local e-commerce platforms dominate the Saudi market, new players are entering – including Amazon Prime, which entered Saudi Arabia in January 2021. Importantly, the Saudi Arabian Government is taking steps to strengthen Saudis’ confidence in e-commerce and to spur the use of e-commerce platforms by strengthening the country’s e-commerce regulatory environment to protect consumers and companies.”
Suhail Iqbal Director and CGO of WebCastle Technologies, who delivered a keynote address at the 6th Middle East Retail & E-Commerce Summit and Awards KSA, said,
“If Saudi Arabia has to grow faster, its businesses will have to transform and become more digitally focused in order to acquire more customers and accelerate sales. This can only happen if Saudi Arabian companies strengthens their presence online and Web3 platforms – which is key to the Kingdoms economic growth and employment.
“We have started working with Saudi Arabian public sector and private sector businesses to help them grow to the next level.”
