Strengthening the e-commerce business system is one of the goals of the National Transformation Program, which supports achieving Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. E-commerce plays a significant role in strengthening the national economy, with Saudi Arabia ranking among the top 10 growing countries in this field. The Ministry of Commerce seeks to stimulate e-commerce markets, increase confidence in its dealings, and protect customer rights, enhancing growth and contributing to the goals of Vision 2030. The Ministry supports entrepreneurs transitioning from traditional commerce to e-commerce through entities providing services in empowerment, electronic payment, digital marketing, technical solutions, electronic markets, logistical solutions, and e-store development platforms. A key entity in this effort is the E-Commerce Council, which aims to enhance e-commerce reliability, increase its contributions to the national economy, and stimulate e-commerce activities in Saudi Arabia. E-commerce, an around-the-clock market, saves time and effort for online shoppers, providing access to goods and services with various options in a transparent and highly competitive environment, thereby gaining consumer trust.
