Industrial activity in Saudi Arabia expanded in February, led by mining and quarrying growth.
Saudi Arabia’s Industrial Production Index (IPI) rose 8.9% to 114.6 points in February 2026 (base year 2021), from 105.3 points in February 2025, General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT) data showed. 
This was driven by growth in three main activities, namely, mining and quarrying, which rose by 13%; manufacturing, which increased by 3.6%; and water supply, sanitation, waste management treatment activities, which grew by 8.1%.
The authority defined IPI as one of the key economic indicators used to assess economic performance and monitor changes in domestic product prices at the producer level. The index aims to measure price changes in locally produced goods and services over specific periods, whichhelps analyzeinflation or deflation trends in various productive activities.
