In the Saudi Arabia electrode paste market, the import trend experienced a notable growth rate of 17.0% from 2023 to 2024, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.87% from 2020 to 2024. This import momentum can be attributed to an increasing demand for electrode paste in the region, reflecting a shift in market dynamics towards enhanced market stability.

The electrode paste market in Saudi Arabia serves the metallurgical and aluminum industries. Electrode paste is a critical component in the production of aluminum and other metals through electro-smelting processes. The market is influenced by global metal demand trends and the expansion of smelting facilities in the region.
The electrode paste market in Saudi Arabia is experiencing growth due to the expansion of the steel and aluminum industries. Electrode paste is a crucial component in the production of these metals. As the country aims to become a regional industrial hub, the demand for electrode paste is expected to remain high.
The electrode paste market in Saudi Arabia faces challenges related to the sourcing of raw materials, particularly high-quality graphite and coal tar pitch. Ensuring a consistent supply of these materials can be difficult, affecting the quality and cost of electrode paste. Moreover, as industries like steel and aluminum production, which rely on electrode paste, strive for higher energy efficiency and environmental compliance, the market must adapt to meet these evolving requirements.
The COVID-19 pandemic had diverse effects on the Saudi Arabia electrode paste market. Electrode paste is vital in the production of ferrous and non-ferrous metals, and disruptions in industrial activities impacted demand. Steel and aluminum production faced temporary declines due to supply chain challenges, reduced demand for automotive and construction materials, and factory closures. However, as industries adapted to new safety protocols and demand began to recover, the electrode paste market rebounded. The push towards sustainable production methods and the transition to cleaner energy sources also influenced market dynamics, as manufacturers sought environmentally friendly electrode paste solutions.
In the Saudi Arabia electrode paste market, prominent manufacturers and suppliers include Saudi Calcined Petroleum Coke Company (SCPC), Elkem Carbon, and Al-Mazalla Company. These companies are instrumental in producing electrode paste used in various industrial processes, including aluminum smelting and steel production.

Export potential enables firms to identify high-growth global markets with greater confidence by combining advanced trade intelligence with a structured quantitative methodology. The framework analyzes emerging demand trends and country-level import patterns while integrating macroeconomic and trade datasets such as GDP and population forecasts, bilateral import–export flows, tariff structures, elasticity differentials between developed and developing economies, geographic distance, and import demand projections. Using weighted trade values from 2020–2024 as the base period to project country-to-country export potential for 2030, these inputs are operationalized through calculated drivers such as gravity model parameters, tariff impact factors, and projected GDP per-capita growth. Through an analysis of hidden potentials, demand hotspots, and market conditions that are most favorable to success, this method enables firms to focus on target countries, maximize returns, and global expansion with data, backed by accuracy.
By factoring in the projected importer demand gap that is currently unmet and could be potential opportunity, it identifies the potential for the Exporter (Country) among 190 countries, against the general trade analysis, which identifies the biggest importer or exporter.
