Press Release

Saudi Arabia Construction Glass Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.53% through 2030F

The increasing Saudi Arabia construction glass market is driven by integration of smart glass in commercial and residential projects, shift toward sustainable and energy-efficient glass solutions during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Construction Glass Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, The Saudi Arabia Construction Glass Market was valued at USD 673.13 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 992.71 Million by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.53% during the forecast period. One of the most significant trends shaping the Saudi Arabia construction glass market is the increasing adoption of smart glass technologies. Smart glass, which includes electrochromic, photochromic, and thermochromic glass types, is gaining popularity due to its ability to dynamically control light and heat transmission. As energy efficiency and environmental sustainability take center stage in the Kingdom’s construction sector, especially in commercial buildings and high-end residential developments, demand for smart glass is accelerating. These advanced materials help reduce dependence on artificial lighting and HVAC systems, contributing to lower operational costs and improved indoor comfort. Smart glass also offers enhanced privacy and UV protection, which are desirable in luxury villas, office towers, and government buildings. With major Vision 2030 projects like NEOM and The Line embracing futuristic and intelligent infrastructure, smart glass is becoming a vital element of architectural innovation.

Furthermore, advancements in local glass processing capabilities and strategic partnerships between Saudi construction firms and global technology providers have made smart glass more accessible and cost-effective for large-scale applications. Developers are also beginning to incorporate smart glass in curtain walls, skylights, partitions, and windows as part of sustainable building certifications like LEED and Estidama. In addition, government buildings and public infrastructure projects are adopting smart glass to promote green building practices and improve the visual and thermal environment inside buildings. The trend is reinforced by increasing consumer awareness, availability of customization options, and integration with automation systems, making smart glass an attractive value proposition in both premium and mid-range developments. As digitalization in the construction sector accelerates, smart glass is likely to become standard in future-forward developments across Saudi Arabia.

Based on product type, Tempered Glass is the fastest growing segment in the Saudi Arabia Construction Glass market during the forecast period driven by its superior strength, safety attributes, and growing compliance with stringent building codes. As Saudi Arabia moves forward with mega infrastructure and real estate projects, especially under Vision 2030, there is a heightened demand for durable, high-performance building materials that meet modern design, energy efficiency, and safety standards. Tempered glass is up to five times stronger than standard annealed glass and offers better thermal resistance, making it ideal for use in the Kingdom’s extreme climate conditions.

This product type is widely used in façades, curtain walls, balcony enclosures, doors, windows, and interior partitions across commercial and residential developments. The surge in high-rise construction, luxury hotels, smart cities, and large-scale malls has significantly increased the need for tempered safety glass, especially for applications that require high load-bearing capacity and impact resistance. Additionally, public infrastructure projects—such as airports, metros, and educational institutions—are adopting tempered glass for safety, noise reduction, and aesthetic reasons.

Another key driver is the rising adoption of insulated and solar control glass units in which tempered glass is often a primary component. Builders are increasingly opting for tempered glass to comply with evolving energy efficiency regulations and the Saudi Building Code, which mandates higher safety standards. The widespread availability of tempering facilities within the Kingdom, particularly in industrial zones like Riyadh and Dammam, further supports market growth by ensuring cost-effective and timely supply. Furthermore, technological advancements allow tempered glass to be integrated with coatings, lamination, or smart functionalities without compromising safety, making it versatile and highly adaptable to modern design requirements. These factors collectively reinforce tempered glass as the fastest growing segment by product type during the forecast period.

Based on region, Eastern Province is the fastest growing region in the Saudi Arabia Construction Glass Market during the forecast period supported by a wave of industrial, commercial, and urban development. As the Kingdom’s oil and gas hub, the Eastern Province hosts strategic cities like Dammam, Al Khobar, and Jubail, which are experiencing rapid urbanization, infrastructure expansion, and industrial diversification under Vision 2030. Major development zones such as the King Salman Energy Park (SPARK), Jubail Industrial City, and the Dammam Metropolitan Area are seeing significant investments in office complexes, logistics centers, residential neighborhoods, and commercial infrastructure—all requiring advanced architectural glass solutions.

The Eastern Province also benefits from proximity to major glass processing hubs and port infrastructure, facilitating cost-efficient import of raw materials and export of finished or semi-finished glass products. Local demand is being propelled by an increase in residential housing projects, hospitals, malls, educational institutions, and hospitality developments. With its diversified economy, the region is becoming a magnet for private sector investments in non-oil industries, including construction and real estate, thereby fueling demand for various types of glass such as tempered, laminated, coated, and energy-efficient insulated units.

Furthermore, the Eastern Province is seeing strong government spending on infrastructure upgrades, including airport expansions, highways, and smart city developments. These initiatives require high-performance and regulation-compliant construction glass, favoring products with thermal insulation, soundproofing, and safety features. The climate conditions in the region—extreme temperatures and high solar radiation—also necessitate glass with strong thermal performance, such as low-emissivity tempered or coated glass. Developers and contractors are prioritizing sustainable, durable, and locally processed glass materials to meet environmental goals and project timelines. Combined, these dynamics make the Eastern Province the most rapidly expanding regional market for construction glass in Saudi Arabia.
