The Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) announced that it secured approximately SAR 30 billion in new investments during 2025, including SAR 18 billion in domestic investment and more than SAR 12 billion in foreign capital.
According to MODON, foreign investment doubled compared with 2024, resulting in 100% year-over-year growth. Overall, total investment commitments increased by 25% during the year.
The results support MODON’s objective of becoming a preferred destination for local and international investors and a key partner within Saudi Arabia’s industrial, technology, and logistics ecosystem. The authority’s activities are aligned with the National Industry Strategy and the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
Industrial projects accounted for the largest portion of newly secured investments, totaling SAR 22 billion, representing a 16% increase from the previous year. Growth was driven by new production facilities and expansions across factories and ready-built industrial units, which reached 2,244 units.
Technology-related investments exceeded SAR 7 billion, increasing by 140% year over year. Service-sector investments totaled SAR 748 million, representing growth of 23%, while logistics investments reached SAR 553 million, up 35%.
MODON also reported continued expansion of its infrastructure capabilities. Developed land area increased by 8% to 236 million square meters, while electricity capacity rose by 12% to 8,959 MVA. The number of drinking water treatment plants increased to 34, up 13%, and natural gas volumes climbed 37% to 195 million cubic feet per day.
The number of facilities operating within MODON’s industrial cities rose to 9,557, including industrial, logistics, and investment establishments. That represented an 11% increase and reflects the authority’s efforts to accommodate growing levels of investment activity.
Established in 2001, MODON oversees the planning, development, and operation of industrial cities, technology zones, and private industrial cities throughout Saudi Arabia. The organization provides services and infrastructure to both domestic and international investors in support of the country’s industrial and economic diversification efforts.
