In the Saudi Arabia organic acids market, the import trend experienced a notable decline with a growth rate of -45.3% from 2023 to 2024, contrasting the 12.04% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) observed from 2020 to 2024. This negative import momentum could be attributed to shifting demand dynamics or changes in trade policies impacting market stability.
Organic acids are essential compounds used for a variety of applications in the food and beverage, cosmetics, detergent, pharmaceuticals and other industries. They can be produced naturally or synthetically. Saudi Arabia is one of the most attractive markets for organic acids due to its growing population and increasing demand from various sectors. The Saudi Arabia organic acids market size was valued at US$ 441 million in 2025, and is projected to reach US$ 639 million by 2031, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% during 2025-2031.
The key factors driving the growth of the organic acids market in Saudi Arabia include rising urbanization coupled with growing disposable income levels; increasing health awareness among consumers leading to an increased preference for healthy & nutritious food products; rising use of natural ingredients such as citric acid in cosmetic products; government initiatives towards promoting sustainable development; improving economic conditions which have led to higher spending power among individuals; high demand from fertilizer companies owing to their benefits on crop yields etc.
However there are certain challenges that could limit the further development of this market such as stringent regulations related to environmental pollution caused by production processes; fluctuating prices of raw materials affecting profitability margins; availability & cost competitiveness of substitutes etc.
Due to COVID 19 outbreak , restrictions put into place along with lockdowns across different parts inhibited movement thereby curtailing business operations significantly resulting into heavy losses incurred by various players operating within this sector . However post lockdown scenario witnessed surge orders especially from online channels which helped maintain some stability though still not enough when compared pre pandemic situation .
BASF SE ; Solvay ; Evonik Industries AG ; Cargill Incorporated ; Bayer AG ; AkzoNobel N.V.; DuPont de Nemours Inc.; Dow Chemical Company ; Koninkl are some players operating in the market.
