Social media powers rapid increase in e-commerce in Oman
Muscat – The e-commerce sector has recorded exponential growth with over 10,500 businesses licensed to operate online as of mid-July 2025. According to Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion, the number of e-commerce licences has grown at a compound annual rate of 191% between 2020 and 2025 fuelled largely by increased activity on platforms such as Instagram, TikTok and WhatsApp. This rapid expansion is attributed to an increasing preference for digital interaction, especially among small and medium enterprises that now rely on social media to market and sell products. The trend aligns with global shifts in consumer behaviour and is further supported by Oman's first e-commerce regulatory framework which was introduced in September 2023. Hanan bint Hamid al Jabriya, Head of E-Commerce Section in the ministry, said the regulations under Ministerial Decision No 499/2023 provide the legal basis for online businesses to operate. These include websites and social media accounts, with most popular being those dealing in perfumes, cosmetics and ready-made garments. Hanan bint Hamid al Jabriya While the sector shows promise, challenges remain. Sellers often face issues such as payment fraud, fake receipts and last-minute order cancellations. Buyers, in turn, report concerns about return policies, quality assurance and data protection. Digital security expert Dr Nasser bin Hamid al Musalhi of Mazoon College highlighted the need for stronger cyber safety measures. He warned against purchasing from unverified platforms and urged users to avoid storing payment details in browsers. 'Fraudsters often use psychological tactics like urgency and unrealistic discounts to prompt hasty payments,' he said. Malik bin Ishaq al Qarni, an online entrepreneur, said that social media was key to his business success, allowing him to reach a wide audience at low cost, showcase products instantly, engage with customers directly and build a credible brand. These factors make e-commerce faster, easier and more accessible than traditional methods. Malik bin Ishaq al Qarni Speaking of challenges, he added, 'Some customers hesitate to pay in advance due to scams they've seen online. Others cancel after placing orders, which creates logistical and financial setbacks.' Despite these hurdles, Oman's e-commerce environment is gaining traction. The National E-Commerce Plan (2022–2027) aims to transform the country into a regional hub by building an advanced digital trade ecosystem. The ministry continues to tighten monitoring of online transactions and promote safer practices across social platforms. As Oman's online business community expands, the government is working to ensure regulatory and technical infrastructure keep pace, supporting both sellers and consumers in a fast-evolving marketplace.

Construction and engineering sector workshop highlights reform priorities
MUSCAT: The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion on Wednesday hosted a workshop in Muscat focusing on the regulation, governance and future development of the construction and engineering consulting sector. The session addressed major challenges faced by the industry while highlighting opportunities to drive growth. Discussions revolved around adopting a modern employment approach aligned with future aspirations, enhancing Omanisation and improving the efficiency of the national workforce. These efforts aim to strengthen the sector's competitive edge and support sustainable growth. The workshop also covered the creation of a clear employment framework for the sector and the identification of potential replacement opportunities, with special emphasis on prioritised national activities and professions. Mechanisms for calculating appropriate Omanisation rates were reviewed, alongside proposed incentives to help companies maintain stability and sustainably increase local employment. Other topics included challenges associated with direct employment and the exploration of alternatives such as 'parallel employment'. This concept involves leveraging modern technologies, including artificial intelligence, to optimise operations, reduce costs and raise workplace health and safety standards. There was also a proposal to integrate new professions into the self-employment programme, aimed at expanding job opportunities for Omanis and opening new pathways for entrepreneurship in construction and engineering services. The session featured an analytical presentation containing statistical data on employment trends in the construction and engineering consulting sector. It detailed economic activity classifications and the sector's contribution to GDP. The event was attended by Dr Saleh bin Said Masan, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion for Commerce and Industry, as well as members of the Reference Committee comprising representatives from relevant public and private entities. — ONA
