The Saudi Arabia asphalt market is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period of 2025-2031. Asphalt, or bitumen, is a viscous hydrocarbon that serves as an essential binder in construction materials. It has taken up a major role as a building material due to its properties such as durability and low cost. In addition, it also provides strength to the structure by improving adhesion between layer components; this makes it popular among builders and architects for constructing roads, bridges, airport runways etc.
Increasing government expenditure on infrastructure projects such as roadways and airports in Saudi Arabia will drive the demand for asphalt in the country over the forecast period. The government has been taking initiatives to increase infrastructural investments with plans like Vision 2031 and National Transformation Program 2025 (NTP 2025). These programs are part of various efforts targeted at diversifying economic output from oil & gas exports towards services-based activities such as tourism & leisure etc., thereby providing impetus to development/construction activity going forward which would further bolster growth prospects of the asphalt market across Saudi Arabia during this period.
High competition from alternative technologies can act as an impediment for the growth potential of asphalt markets across various regions including Saudi Arabia over next few years. Moreover availability of raw materials such as crude oil which forms base substance for production process is another factor hindering market progress in near future worldwide including many countries situated within Middle East region. This might be because producers are unable to access adequate quantity at reasonable prices owing presence large number players operating at competitive environment leading difficulty product procurement required scale.
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected all countries worldwide leading to disruption in economic activities globally which includes that of Saudi Arabia too; however it was minimal compared to other countries due to its strong economy based on oil exports income which enabled them through supportive governmental measures like stimulus packages etc., Asphalt market witnessed moderate slowdown from April 2025 onwards due primarily because most of these products require manual labor for their application process where social distancing norms could not be maintained easily hence leading towards lesser pace than before. Although some delays were seen but overall situation improved later especially after reopening exercise began post June 2025.
Key players operating across Saudi Arabia Asphalt Market include Iran Bitumen Production Company (IBPC), Royal Dutch Shell plc., Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC), Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and ExxonMobil Corporation among others.
