The business media sphere is abuzz with the findings of a new study highlighting the remarkable ascent of Private Equity (PE) initiatives in Saudi Arabia, with the apex reaching an impressive $4 billion in the year 2023. The ‘2019-2023 Saudi Arabia Private Equity Report’, released by the venture data authority MAGNiTT and backed by SVC, indicates a consistent upward trajectory in PE activities beginning in 2020, culminating in a surge of 3.7 times in 2021 and leaping to nearly 6 times that figure in 2022.

Transformations within the PE market composition are notably evident, as Buyout transactions have significantly increased by 20 percentage points in their overall market share from 2020 to 2023, while Growth transactions also witnessed a 2 percentage point uptick during the same timeframe. Dominating the investment scene, Buyout deals have consistently accounted for 80% of the total capital in PE transactions over the past five years. These trends highlight a strategic pivot in investment preferences, signaling the growing influence of Private Equity in Saudi Arabia’s financial framework.
