Muscat: The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Investment Promotion (MoCIIP), represented by Invest Oman, has announced a package of investment opportunities backed by guaranteed offtake agreements at specified percentages for local and international investors. The move aims to enhance the attractiveness of investment projects and reduce operational risks for investors by ensuring confirmed demand for project outputs prior to actual operations commencing.
These opportunities align with the Sultanate of Oman’s aspirations to further develop investment ready projects directly linked to market needs and local supply chains, contributing to improved project efficiency, accelerated investment returns, and stronger prospects for growth and sustainability.
The pre-purchase agreement mechanism is based on the commitment of designated entities to purchase part or all of a project’s outputs under pre-agreed contractual arrangements. This provides investors with greater visibility over future cash flows and enhances projects ability to secure financing and attract strategic partnerships.
The package includes industrial and healthcare-related production opportunities that have been developed based on technical and economic studies taking into account local demand levels and export expansion potential, in addition to providing clear operational models and contractual frameworks that support long-term project stability.
It also features several high-value industrial investment opportunities, including a refrigerator manufacturing plant project spanning 10,000 sq m with an investment value of OMR6.545 million, focusing on the production of domestic, commercial, and industrial refrigerators. It also includes a textile and fabric manufacturing plant project covering 10,000 sq m with an investment value of OMR4.608 million, aimed at strengthening local manufacturing and reducing reliance on imports.
The opportunities further include a computer and accessories manufacturing plant project with an investment value of OMR6.152 million across 10,000 sq m, supporting digital transformation and meeting growing demand for modern technologies, as well as a stationery and office supplies manufacturing plant project valued at OMR2.5 million over 5,000 sq m for the production of various paper and office products.
The package also includes a tire manufacturing plant project with an investment value of OMR6.545 million across 10,000 sq m, aimed at producing tires for different vehicle categories. In addition, it features a military uniform accessories manufacturing plant project valued at OMR6 million over 10,000 sq m to meet the needs of the military and security sectors, as well as an air conditioning manufacturing plant project with an investment value of OMR6.545 million across 10,000 sq m for the production of energy-efficient air conditioning units targeting local and regional markets.
Speaking on the packages, Khalid bin Hamad Al Kharousi, Director General of Investment Promotion at the MoCIIP, stated that these opportunities represent an advanced model for developing the investment environment by moving beyond traditional investment offerings toward opportunities linked to real and confirmed market demand, thereby increasing confidence and providing greater capacity for planning and expansion.
“These opportunities have been developed in collaboration with partners from key sectors across relevant government entities to ensure alignment with actual market needs and supply chain requirements, while enhancing their readiness as executable and scalable investment opportunities. Through this approach, we are working to develop projects linked to real and confirmed market demand, providing investors with greater clarity and enhancing project sustainability as well as its ability to grow and expand,” he added.
Al Kharousi affirmed that pre-purchase agreements represent a more mature investment model, as they reduce operational risk gaps and improve project readiness for financing and strategic partnerships, directly contributing to faster implementation and greater added value for the national economy.
“Work is ongoing to develop investment opportunities that go beyond the traditional concept of opportunity offerings by building investment-ready projects connected to real market needs, giving investors greater clarity and higher confidence from the earliest stages of the project. The Sultanate of Oman possesses strong competitive advantages, including its strategic location, advanced infrastructure, supportive legislation, and stable economic environment that supports long-term investment growth. Integration among government entities also contributes to accelerating the readiness of opportunities and enhancing their ability to transform into established projects that create added value for the national economy and support economic diversification goals,” he added.
These projects align with the goals of Oman Vision 2040, which aims to build a diversified and sustainable economy based on partnership with the private sector, increase the contribution of quality investments to GDP, and support innovation, sustainability, and job creation.
