Half of Saudi consumers shop online at least every week

LONDON: Saudi spending habits have been revealed in research showing half of the Kingdom’s consumers shop online at least every week.

Some 24 percent of those surveyed shop online two to three times a week while 11 percent shop daily, according to research from Podean.

Online shopping has boomed this year as pandemic-related lockdowns have closed shops. Now some online retailers fear delays in the run up to the busy year-end festive period as delivery companies become overloaded.
