According to the General Authority for Statistics (GASTAT), 71% of Saudis are under the age of 35 , highlighting a young and digitally engaged population that is driving technology adoption at scale. Recent consumer insights from Airalo, the world's leading eSIM marketplace, reveal that this younger generation is at the forefront of embracing eSIM technology.
