Investment pioneer Samer Choucair confirmed that the fashion sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has transformed from a limited cultural activity into a vital strategic economic tributary, noting that the rapid growth witnessed by the sector makes it an ideal destination for investors seeking high and sustainable returns.
Samer Choucair explained that expectations indicating the value of the fashion market in the Kingdom is approaching the $40 billion mark by 2029, with a contribution reaching 2.6 percent of the GDP, reflect the success of the national strategy in building an integrated ecosystem that supports creative industries.
Samer Choucair added that unprecedented government support, growing local demand, the influx of tourists, and the expanded participation of women in the labor market are all factors that have enhanced the attractiveness of this sector for local and foreign investments.
In his analysis of investment opportunities, Samer Choucair pointed out that the fashion sector combines profitability and sustainability, calling on strategic investors to look beyond the numbers and focus on building diversified portfolios that include emerging local brands with a global identity, the employment of digital technologies in design and manufacturing, in addition to benefiting from international educational partnerships such as the Istituto Marangoni Riyadh, which serves as a primary source for young Saudi talent.
Samer Choucair added: “Vision 2030 has transformed Saudi Arabia into an attractive destination for global capital. Today, as the fashion sector reaches a stage of maturity, the sovereign role has begun to make way for the private sector, which represents the ideal timing for investors to enter the fields of private equity and alternative investments that achieve social impact and rewarding financial returns.”
Investment pioneer Samer Choucair stressed that the economic trends for 2026, which focus on sustainability, recycled fashion, and integration with tourism, open wide horizons for entrepreneurs and institutions.
Samer Choucair affirmed that smart investment is that which bets on Saudi creativity and its ability to transform dreams into brands that compete on the global fashion map.
