To calculate the market size, the report considers the HLS and defense budgets allocated for the security of the country. The market is highly fragmented with the presence of a large number of small and large vendors. Therefore, the report does not provide the market share of the vendors; it only lists the key vendors in the market. In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the Security sector of Saudi Arabia. It also outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large, as well as the key trends that are emerging in the market.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in the market is the flourishing economy and infrastructure. The majority of Saudi Arabia's revenue is dependent on oil exports; therefore, its economy is financially strong. A flourishing economy mandates the need for security, which drives the country to invest extensively in the import of defense equipment.

Further, the report states that one key challenge that the market faces is the high dependence on imported equipment. Most of the defense equipment and security systems and weapons in Saudi Arabia are imported from the US, Russia, France, and the UK. This dependency can affect the growth of the Security sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through delays, price hikes, or even small political issues between the countries.
