NCASEAI / Research guides
Find a Saudi market's size, or learn that no one has published it
Market size is the number people most want and most often invent. NCASEAI looks for a published figure and shows its publisher, period and date. When none exists it says so, and gives you a method to build one.

What you can ask
- How large is Saudi e-commerce spending?
- How much do people in Saudi Arabia spend by card each month?
- What is the size of the Saudi cybersecurity market?
- What is the population of each region?
Example questions. NCASEAI answers each from its sources, or names the gap.
How NCASEAI looks for a size
- It starts from connected statistics: population by region, GDP, inflation and unemployment, and card and e-commerce spending.
- For the size of a sector, it searches the web for published estimates, cites each one, and checks the figure against the page.
- A sector size nobody has published is reported as unpublished. NCASEAI never fills the gap with an estimate of its own.
- It then gives a research method: the inputs you need, the calculation and the evidence to collect, labelled as a method and never as a verified figure.
What it reads today
The Saudi publishers NCASEAI reads today. A source that is not connected is never guessed at.
- Connected
- ZATCA, SAMA, World Bank
- Partly connected
- GASTAT (selected tables, through DataSaudi, as Other source)
- Not connected yet
- MISA, Etimad, CST, SFDA
A published estimate is the publisher's figure under the publisher's method. Read the source before you rely on it.
What you get
- A size with its source, period and date, or a named gap
- A research method when the data is missing
- Charts and tables in the report where the figures allow
- Export to PDF, Word or PowerPoint
Questions
Does NCASEAI estimate market size itself?
No. It reports published figures. When none exists it gives a method, clearly labelled, and never a number presented as a finding.
Why might a market size be missing?
Many sectors have no public figure, or only a paid report. NCASEAI cannot read paywalled sources, so it says the figure is unpublished or not found.
Which sources does it use for size?
Connected statistics where a publisher holds the figure, and cited web pages for the rest. The list below shows what is connected.
