The Saudi Arabia Polymers Market is projected to witness mixed growth rate patterns during 2025 to 2029. The growth rate begins at 8.34% in 2025, climbs to a high of 9.06% in 2026, and moderates to 5.39% by 2029.
The Saudi Arabia polymers market was estimated at USD 9 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach a value of USD 13.4 billion by 2031, registering a CAGR of 5.3% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is driven by increasing demand from end-user industries such as construction, automotive & transportation, packaging, medical devices and appliances among others. Additionally, growing investments in research and development activities for the production of high-performance polymers are further driving the growth of this market over the forecast period.
Growing demand from various end-user industries like building & construction, automotive & transportations, electrical & electronics among others is responsible for boosting the market revenue for Saudi Arabia polymer industry over the coming years. This can be attributed to its advantages like lightweight properties that reduce fuel consumption along with superior mechanical strength which make it suitable for use in various industrial applications such as consumer goods products and construction materials among others. Over recent years there has been an increased focus on R&D activities related to producing higher performance polymers which are used across different sectors including automotive manufacturing where they offer superior protection against corrosion while ensuring longer life cycles of components being produced using them compared to other more traditional materials being used previously such as steel or aluminum alloys etc., thus creating opportunities within this sector in terms of new product launches and overall higher sales volumes resulting out these efforts leading to sustainable growth within this particular segment over long term horizon going forward into future period under review here accordingly then too effectively similarly so indeed.
Changes in global crude oil prices impact the Saudi Arabia polymers market due to its strong dependence on petrochemicals as a raw material for making polymeric products. The Saudi polymer market faces stiff competition from markets such as China, India and Middle East countries which possess cheaper labor costs and have lower production cost than that of Saudi Arabia.Saudi Arabia has imposed stringent laws regarding industrial waste disposal and use of chemicals in manufacturing processes which increase the cost of production leading to higher product pricing thereby reducing competitiveness.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a severe impact on the economy of Saudi Arabia resulting in a decline in demand for various polymeric products across different industries such as automotive, electrical & electronics, packaging etc., further leading to decreased investment by manufacturers thus affecting their profitability negatively. Additionally, supply disruption along with disruption of logistics services caused by restrictions introduced during lockdowns are additional factors contributing to this decline in demand forpolymers.
SABIC, Advanced Petrochemical Company, National Petrochemical Industrial Co., and Al Waleed Plastic Factory are major players operating in the market in Saudi Arabia.
