Advancing the Saudi Economy through Specialized Seating and Positioning Innovations

This study investigates how Saudi Arabia's economic diversification objectives under Vision 2030 might be complemented by a specialized seating and positioning solutions industry development. Saudi Arabia now mostly depends on imports for mobility aids, which drives expensive prices and restricted access. Decreasing healthcare costs, local manufacturing, enabling research and development (R&D) and allowing for exports contributes to a robust and globally aligned industry in Saudi. Moreover, the social and economic implications of better mobility solutions also lead to improved productivity in the workplace and a better quality of life. This research highlights the opportunity for a new industry that depends less on oil revenues, generates jobs, and improves health outcomes.
