In the Saudi Arabia pig iron market, import trends experienced a significant decline from 2023 to 2024, with a growth rate of -96.9%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2020 to 2024 stood at -56.23%. This sharp decrease may be attributed to shifts in demand dynamics or alterations in trade policies impacting import momentum and market stability.
The Saudi Arabian pig iron market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 4% during 2020-2026. The growing steel industry in the country coupled with increasing investment and construction activities are some of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, rising demand from industries such as automotive, shipbuilding, and others are further propelling its surge.
Furthermore, government initiatives for industrial development by providing tax incentives and allowing foreign investments also propel the market growth. For instance, Vision 2030 provides an opportunity for investors to invest in various sectors including manufacturing sector which is expected to fuel demand for steel products like pig iron over the forecast period. Additionally, rapid urbanization and infrastructure development across major cities such as Riyadh will augment its scope in near future.
However, environmental concerns due to air pollution caused by production process may restrain its growth over upcoming years. Additionally, high electricity cost associated with manufacturing processes might impede overall industry expansion in coming years.
