Vision 2030 and Urban Infrastructure Development
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 program is a powerful driver in transforming the kingdom's urban environment and infrastructure. This change is driving the demand for new outdoor advertising mediums. Large-scale urban development projects are producing high-traffic areas perfect for out-of-home (OOH) advertising. As new highways, airports, entertainment areas, and commercial centers are constructed, they offer optimal locations for billboards, digital displays, and transit media. Additionally, the government initiative to urbanize city landscapes involves investment in smart city solutions, which are increasingly incorporating digital out-of-home (DOOH) technologies. With the growing public and private sector investment in infrastructure, there is a growing network of physical locations that can accommodate advertising assets. In 2024, the Smart Cities Saudi Expo was conducted to improvise urban development. These shifts are not only enhancing visibility and reach.
Rising Spending Habits and a Young Demographic
Saudi Arabia's population is unusually young and expanding with more than 60% of its population below the age of 35. According to the Global Data, in 2025, 21.6% of the population was between the ages of 25 and 34. Its youthful population is urban, technologically savvy, and open to visual and experiential marketing tactics. Outdoor advertising resonates with this segment by providing movement, high-impact visuals in the areas it inhabits, including shopping malls, entertainment centers, and transport points. Moreover, young demographics with high disposable incomes also show high spending habits, particularly in fashion, electronics, automotive, and fast food, categories that are highly dependent on outdoor advertising. Advertisers are therefore putting more money into OOH media to drive purchase decisions at high-traffic locations.
Technological Advancements in Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH) Advertising
The use of digital technology in out-of-home advertising is contributing to the market growth. DOOH formats, such as light emitting diode (LED) billboards, interactive kiosks, and dynamic transit displays are on the rise because they are flexible, high-definition, and can be used to offer real-time, data-driven content. With these technologies, advertisers can personalize messages according to the time of day, weather, or demographics using programmatic platforms. Additionally, the use of 5G networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) increases the capability for real-time interactivity and geolocation-targeting. Within retail areas and transport hubs, such as metro stations and airports, digital signage is becoming a replacement for fixed billboards, providing greater engagement. In 2024, Saudi General Authority for Roads made a statement about introducing an outdoor advertisement project on intercity highways, with the purpose of opening investment opportunities through in-house collaboration.
