Saudi e-commerce management company Zid plans to expand its business to other GCC states countries by the end of 2022 as it looks to grab 5% of the region's 1 million worth of small and medium enterprises market, its CEO told Asharq. The Saudi holding company seeks to transform its activity from traditional to electronic commerce within the next three years, Sultan Al-Asmi added.
