Starting from January 1, 2025, Saudi Arabia will adopt USB Type-C as a dedicated charging interface for mobile phones and various electronic products.
This is part of a comprehensive initiative aimed at improving user experience, ensuring high-quality charging and data transmission, and promoting sustainable environmental development by reducing electronic waste.
The focus of this measure is not only on improving user experience, but also on saving costs for consumers and ensuring seamless transition among various electronic products.
This measure is also in line with the principle of environmental sustainability. It is expected that Saudi Arabia will significantly reduce the consumption of chargers and charging lines by over 2.2 million units annually, saving Saudi consumers over 170 million Saudi Riyals in costs, and achieving environmental protection goals by reducing approximately 15 tons of electronic waste annually.
The implementation of this measure will be divided into two different stages:
The first phase is scheduled to start on January 1, 2025, and will cover various devices, including mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, e-readers, portable gaming devices, headphones, keyboards, mice, portable speakers, and wireless routers.
The second phase will start on April 1, 2026 and will include laptops.
Starting from 2025, companies and suppliers operating in the Saudi Arabian market must comply with the USB Type-C standard.
