🛒 Careem has launched Careem Market in Riyadh, entering Saudi Arabia’s competitive e-grocery space with 20-minute delivery across 24 neighbourhoods.

Backed by a network of localised warehouses and integrated into the Careem app, the service targets rising demand for convenience, with 2.5% of grocery sales in the Kingdom now online.

The move comes just as Egypt’s Rabbit announced its entry into Saudi, joining a crowded field that includes Jahez, Ninja, Nana, Hungerstation, and Keeta.

With speed, tech infrastructure, and brand familiarity on its side, Careem is positioning to lock in early share as quick commerce heats up in the Kingdom.
