Business Development Mission to Saudi Arabia
The United States is Saudi Arabia’s largest trading partner. Unprecedented public sector spending,
large-scale industrial expansion and growing consumer demand make Saudi Arabia one of the most
import-intensive markets in the Middle East. While today’s global economy has presented challenges
to the Gulf region, the Saudi Government has designated certain sectors as national priorities that have
proved resilient against the economic downturn. Power Generation, Water, Education, and
Medical Equipment are among the sectors that continue to provide significant growth potential and
investment opportunities for U.S. businesses. Saudi companies show an affinity for American products
and services. Total bilateral trade with the U.S. exceeded $67 billion in 2008, up from $46 billion in
2007. As America’s 14th largest export market, and the biggest market in the Gulf, Saudi Arabia
provides excellent market opportunities for U.S. companies.
