As per IMARC Group, a leading global market research and management consulting firm, has published its latest market intelligence report on the Saudi Arabia used truck market. The Saudi Arabia used truck market reached USD 446.5 Million in 2025. Looking forward, IMARC Group estimates the market to reach USD 619.4 Million by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.71% during 2026-2034, driven by tightening emission standards that push fleet upgrades, rapid e-commerce and logistics expansion, and rising demand for cost-effective transport solutions across the Kingdom.
The market is being reshaped by a combination of regulatory, economic, and logistics-sector forces. Businesses across construction, oil and gas, and last-mile delivery are increasingly turning to used trucks, priced 30 to 50% below new models, as a strategic balance of cost and performance. Saudi Arabia’s local logistics industry, valued at over USD 136 Billion and handling more than 50 million parcels in the second quarter of 2025 alone, is a direct structural driver, as last-mile delivery companies and online retailers expand fleets without committing to the higher upfront cost of new vehicles.

Saudi Arabia Used Truck Market Trends and Drivers:
Regulatory tightening is the clearest structural driver behind used truck availability. The introduction of Euro 5 emission norms is encouraging fleet operators to retire older, high-emission trucks and replace them with newer, compliant models, with many of these newer trucks later entering the used market and improving the overall quality and appeal of the pre-owned segment. Saudi Arabia’s SASO-administered SABER platform, mandatory for all automotive imports since 2025, alongside a 5-year age restriction on imported trucks and energy-efficiency penalties ranging from SAR 20,000 to 50% of vehicle value for non-compliant units, is reinforcing this fleet-renewal cycle and steadily raising the technical quality of vehicles entering resale channels.
E-commerce and logistics expansion is compounding this supply-side renewal with strong demand-side pull. With the local logistics industry valued at over USD 136 Billion and handling more than 50 million parcels in the second quarter of 2025 alone, last-mile delivery companies and online retailers are actively growing their fleets, and light and medium used trucks are becoming the preferred choice for urban delivery and warehousing given their lower upfront cost. Almajdouie Group, one of the Kingdom’s leading logistics and fleet operators, reported a near 20% increase in used-truck sales driven by urban infrastructure and delivery project demand.
Localization of truck assembly is reshaping the supply pipeline feeding this used market. Zahid Tractor’s Commercial Vehicles Division, the exclusive Kingdom distributor for Volvo, UD, and Renault Trucks, has been assembling all three brands on a single production line at the Arabian Vehicles & Trucks Industries facility in King Abdullah Economic City since 2025, part of Vision 2030’s National Industrial Strategy, which names automotive as one of 12 priority sectors targeting roughly 800 investment opportunities. As locally assembled new trucks scale, their eventual resale is expected to further deepen and modernize the domestic used truck supply base.

Government Schemes and Vision 2030 Initiatives Driving Demand:
- National Industrial Strategy – Automotive Priority Sector: Vision 2030’s National Industrial Strategy names automotive as one of 12 priority sectors, targeting approximately 800 investment opportunities and directly supporting local truck assembly and component manufacturing capacity that feeds the used truck resale pipeline.
- SASO SABER Mandatory Conformity Certification: Since 2025, all imported trucks and automotive shipments must obtain a conformity certificate through the SABER platform before customs clearance, formalizing quality and emissions verification across the Kingdom’s used and new truck import channels.
- 5-Year Vehicle Age Restriction and Energy Efficiency Penalties: Imported trucks must be manufactured within the most recent five years, and vehicles that do not meet Saudi energy efficiency standards face additional fees ranging from SAR 20,000 to 50% of vehicle value, a regulatory lever that is steadily improving the technical quality of the truck fleet entering resale.
- NIDLP Telematics Subsidies: National Industrial Development and Logistics Program subsidies for telematics adoption are helping mid-tier and smaller fleet operators, many running used trucks, adopt data-driven dispatch and fuel-efficiency monitoring systems.
- Local Assembly Incentives: Government-backed local assembly programs, including Zahid Tractor’s Volvo, UD, and Renault Trucks production at the AVI facility in King Abdullah Economic City and Hyundai’s 70:30 joint venture with the Public Investment Fund targeting 50,000 vehicles annually from 2026, are expanding the domestic truck fleet base that will progressively feed the used truck market.
Saudi Arabia Used Truck Industry Segmentation:
The report has segmented the market into the following categories:
Breakup By Vehicle Type:
- Light Trucks
- Medium-Duty Trucks
- Heavy-Duty Trucks
Light and medium-duty trucks are seeing particularly strong demand from last-mile delivery and urban warehousing operators as e-commerce fleets expand, while heavy-duty trucks remain concentrated among construction and oil and gas end users requiring higher payload capacity for mega-project and industrial logistics work.
Breakup By Sales Channel:
- Franchised Dealer
- Independent Dealer
- Peer-to-Peer
Franchised dealers, including OEM-affiliated commercial vehicle divisions such as Zahid Tractor’s Volvo, UD, and Renault Trucks network, offer buyers certified inspection, warranty backing, and after-sales service, while independent dealers and peer-to-peer channels serve price-sensitive buyers and smaller fleet operators seeking lower-cost alternatives outside the franchised network.
Breakup By End User:
- Construction
- Oil and Gas
- Others
Construction end users, driven by ongoing Vision 2030 mega-project activity, and oil and gas operators requiring heavy-duty fleet capacity are core demand anchors, while the Others category, spanning logistics, retail delivery, and general commercial transport, is expanding fastest on the back of e-commerce and last-mile delivery growth.
Breakup By Region:
- Northern and Central Region
- Western Region
- Eastern Region
- Southern Region
The Northern and Central Region, anchored by Riyadh, holds the largest share given its concentration of construction activity, government fleet procurement, and e-commerce distribution hubs. The Western Region benefits from Jeddah’s port and logistics infrastructure, the Eastern Region is anchored by oil and gas sector fleet demand around Dammam and the Aramco industrial corridor, and the Southern Region remains a smaller but steadily growing market for affordability-driven used truck demand.
Competitive Landscape:
The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the competitive landscape in the Saudi Arabia used truck market, covering market structure, key player positioning, top winning strategies, and detailed company profiles. The market features franchised commercial vehicle divisions of major distributors alongside independent dealers and logistics operators with in-house fleet resale programs, including:
- Zahid Tractor (Commercial Vehicles Division – Volvo, UD, and Renault Trucks)
- Almajdouie Group
- Daimler Truck AG (Mercedes-Benz Trucks)
- Volvo Trucks Saudi Arabia
Established OEM-affiliated distributors benefit from long-standing relationships with large fleet operators and government-linked projects, supporting brand loyalty in the resale market, while a large base of independent dealers and peer-to-peer sellers keeps the overall market fragmented and price-competitive.
