A production line
Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Production Index (IPI) added 3.1% year-on-year (YoY) in April 2025, data issued by the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) showed.
The IPI rose to 108.62 points in April 2025, according to the base year 2021, compared to 105.37 points in April 2024.
GASTAT attributed the growth to higher activity in manufacturing, water supply, sanitation, waste management and treatment sectors.
The IPI measures the relative change in production quantities of materials and goods, tracking their transformation from raw materials to final consumable products for economic returns.

*Updated according to GASTAT data.
Mining and quarrying activity rose 0.2% YoY in April 2025, supported by a slight increase in oil output to 9.01 million barrels per day (bpd) from 8.99 million a year earlier.
The manufacturing sub-index rose 7.4% YoY, driven by stronger activity in the production of coke and refined petroleum products.
Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply fell 0.2% from April 2024, while water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation activities rose 8.8% over the same period.
