The only voice for Arabia’s Channel
Saudi Arabia is the region's number one market for IT sales, accounting for 40% of regional sales estimated to be worth US$5.4 billion in 2006. Sales of desktops and notebooks continue to exceed regional growth levels, while Internet and e-commerce are set to increase dramatically over the next few years partly due to massive spending on infrastructure and support from the highest levels of government.
