Expat Population in Saudi Arabia 2025: Demographics and Transformation

The expat population in Saudi Arabia in 2025 remains one of the largest expatriate communities of any country. With approximately 13.4 million non-Saudi residents recorded in recent census data, expatriates account for roughly 40 per cent of the Kingdom’s total population of approximately 33.4 million. This demographic structure reflects decades of labour-driven immigration that has been fundamental to the Kingdom’s economic development, infrastructure build-out, and public service delivery.
