The National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) represents a national model for integration among strategic sectors by unifying efforts across the energy, mining, industry, and logistics sectors toward shared economic and developmental goals. These goals contribute to diversifying the economic base, enhancing the Kingdom's competitiveness, and supporting the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
The program's 2025 annual report reviews the most prominent economic results and indicators achieved, reflecting the growing impact of integrating the program's related sectors in supporting economic growth, investment, trade, and non-oil exports.

The report showed that the program's sector activities contributed SAR1,045 billion to non-oil GDP in 2025, representing 39% of the Kingdom's total non-oil GDP, up from SAR996 billion in 2024. Meanwhile, the contribution of non-oil activities to the Kingdom's total GDP reached 55%.

Additionally, the manufacturing sector recorded growth of 6%, and the electricity, gas, and water sector grew by 5%, while the mining and transport and storage sectors achieved growth rates of 3% and 4%, respectively.

In terms of foreign trade, the total value of non-oil exports reached SAR622.87 billion in 2025, achieving a growth of 14% compared to 2024. Chemical industry exports reached SAR80.3 billion, while machinery and electrical equipment exports reached SAR80.9 billion. Exports of metals and their articles reached SAR25.5 billion, while food and beverage exports reached SAR11.2 billion.

Regarding investment and financing, the value of non-governmental investments completed within the program's sectors reached SAR775 billion. The net cumulative loan approvals from the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF) reached SAR246 billion, while the cumulative credit facilities provided by the Saudi Export-Import Bank reached SAR116 billion.

The results of sectoral integration manifested in a number of significant achievements across the energy, mining, industry, logistics, future technologies, and local content sectors. In the energy sector, the share of installed capacity from renewable energy sources in the electricity generation mix reached 15.64%, driven by growing solar and wind energy projects. The total capacity tied to renewable energy power purchase agreements exceeded 43 GW, with investments in renewable energy projects nearing SAR102 billion.

The 1,400 MW Najran Solar Energy Project achieved the world's second-lowest cost for solar electricity production at 1.09 US cents per kilowatt-hour, following the Al Shuaibah 1 project, which recorded the world's lowest cost at 1.04 US cents per kilowatt-hour with a capacity of 600 MW. Furthermore, the 1,500 MW Dawadmi Wind Power Project achieved the world's lowest cost for wind electricity production at 1.33 US cents per kilowatt-hour, while the Al-Ghat project recorded the world's second-lowest cost at 1.57 US cents per kilowatt-hour.....
