Saudi Arabia Construction Additives Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 7.44% through 2030F

The increasing Saudi Arabia construction additives market is driven integration of green and bio-based additives in urban projects, rising adoption of high-performance additives in mega projects during the forecast period 2026-2030F.

According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Construction Additives Market – By Region, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, The Saudi Arabia Construction Additives Market was valued at USD 1.19 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.85 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 7.44% during the forecast period. One of the most prominent trends in the Saudi Arabia construction additives market is the shift toward green and bio-based additive formulations, particularly in urban smart city developments. The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiative emphasizes sustainability across infrastructure, prompting developers to reduce carbon emissions and align with green certification standards such as LEED and SASO's energy efficiency guidelines. This has led to growing experimentation with plant-based plasticizers, bio-polymers, and water reducers. For instance, new residential blocks within NEOM and King Salman Park have set benchmarks for low-emission building materials, leading contractors to replace traditional petroleum-based admixtures with lower-VOC alternatives. In 2024, at least 22% of newly approved commercial building tenders required documentation of green additive use.

Cement companies are also collaborating with additive manufacturers to test organic-based admixtures for blended cements, enabling lower clinker ratios and energy use. While costs remain a hurdle, a notable example is a Riyadh-based mid-rise office tower that used a lignin-derived superplasticizer and reduced water consumption in concrete mixing by 19%. Additionally, modular construction startups have begun demanding additives that are easier to dispose of and leave minimal residue in offsite mixing systems. The combination of regulatory incentives, rising environmental awareness, and changing procurement norms is expected to strengthen this trend. Though bio-based additive options are still limited in availability, product innovation is accelerating, and Saudi-based research centers have begun evaluating localized feedstock options for sustainable additive production. Over the long term, the market is expected to gradually shift toward hybrid additives that offer both performance and environmental compliance, especially as government agencies continue integrating sustainability clauses into all public sector tenders.

Based on product type, Waterproofing & Roofing Chemicals is the fastest growing segment in the Saudi Arabia Construction Additives market during the forecast period due to rising infrastructure investments, harsh climatic conditions, and the need for long-lasting structural durability. The Kingdom’s ongoing push toward large-scale development—especially under Vision 2030—has led to a surge in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. In a country where extreme heat, dust, and sporadic rainfall pose significant risks to building integrity, waterproofing and roofing chemicals are essential for maintaining performance standards and longevity. Mega projects such as NEOM, The Line, Qiddiya, and Red Sea Global involve the construction of high-end infrastructure, where sustainability and water resistance are non-negotiable. This has driven demand for advanced waterproofing materials such as bituminous membranes, polyurethane liquid membranes, and crystalline admixtures. Moreover, the growth of urbanization—more than 84% of the population resides in urban areas—has placed further emphasis on waterproofing to protect underground car parks, basements, and rooftops in high-rise developments.

Additionally, Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector, including oil & gas, logistics hubs, and manufacturing plants, requires roofing solutions that withstand chemical exposure, temperature fluctuations, and water seepage. Waterproofing is also critical in water-intensive facilities such as desalination plants and cooling towers. Government mandates around energy-efficient and green buildings have further boosted the use of reflective and energy-efficient roofing membranes. The surge in tourism-related construction across coastal and mountainous areas has introduced additional challenges due to high salinity, which necessitates more advanced waterproofing systems. As awareness of lifecycle costs grows among developers, preventive waterproofing has become a priority rather than a remedial expense, enhancing demand. With growing specialization and higher-quality standards in the Saudi construction sector, this segment is poised to grow rapidly.

Based on region, Eastern Province is the fastest growing region in the Saudi Arabia Construction Additives Market during the forecast period due to the region’s strategic economic importance, ongoing megaprojects, and expanding industrial and urban development. The Eastern Province hosts the headquarters of Saudi Aramco and accounts for the majority of Saudi Arabia’s oil production and export infrastructure, driving significant investment in both upstream and downstream construction. These projects demand specialized construction additives for refineries, pipelines, offshore facilities, and chemical plants, where durability and resistance to harsh environments are essential. Dammam, Dhahran, Jubail, and Al Khobar are undergoing rapid expansion, with Jubail Industrial City being one of the world’s largest industrial zones. As the area grows, so does the demand for high-performance additives to support infrastructure, logistics parks, industrial complexes, and worker housing. The region’s proximity to the Gulf also introduces unique challenges such as high salinity, humidity, and corrosion risks—necessitating advanced additives like corrosion inhibitors, waterproofing agents, and plasticizers.

Another factor contributing to the region’s growth is government support for economic diversification. Eastern Province is integral to Vision 2030’s National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), attracting both local and foreign investment. New residential and commercial zones, smart city developments, and mixed-use projects are creating consistent demand for value-added construction materials, including advanced admixtures and roofing chemicals. The area is also seeing increased construction activity tied to renewable energy projects, water treatment facilities, and port expansions, further accelerating the use of construction additives to meet regulatory, environmental, and engineering standards. With a strong pipeline of upcoming construction and the requirement for performance-enhancing materials, Eastern Province is positioned to remain the most dynamic and fastest-growing region in this market.
