Saudi Arabia Specialty Chemicals Market to Grow with a CAGR of 5.21% through 2030

Rising demand for construction chemicals is expected to drive the Saudi Arabia Specialty Chemicals Market during the forecast period, 2026-2030F.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Specialty Chemicals Market - By Region, Competition, Forecast and Opportunities, 2030F”, the Saudi Arabia Specialty Chemicals Market was valued at USD 18.23 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 24.68 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 5.21%.

Technological advancements are playing a pivotal role in transforming the Saudi Arabia Specialty Chemicals Market, driving both performance efficiency and sustainability. The integration of digitalization tools such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is enabling smarter production systems across the sector. For instance, SABIC’s adoption of smart manufacturing technologies has resulted in a measurable reduction of nearly 15% in production waste within polymer manufacturing, strengthening operational efficiency while lowering environmental impact. A major growth avenue lies in the development of bio-based specialty chemicals. Surfactants derived from renewable plant oils are being actively promoted to align with the Saudi Green Initiative. With active research support from institutions such as the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), the country is accelerating the shift toward environmentally friendly formulations. This not only addresses rising consumer demand for sustainable solutions but also positions Saudi Arabia as a hub for green chemistry innovation.

Nanotechnology is also advancing the construction chemicals segment, particularly in high-profile projects such as NEOM. Companies like BASF are deploying nano-engineered admixtures that enhance concrete strength by up to 20%, contributing to more durable and sustainable infrastructure development. Meanwhile, Sadara Chemical Company’s innovations in advanced catalysts are improving efficiency in petrochemical processes, ensuring greater yield with lower resource consumption.

Automation in supply chain management, as demonstrated by Evonik’s initiatives, is improving delivery reliability and reducing operational costs. By integrating AI-driven logistics and predictive maintenance, supply chains are becoming more resilient and responsive to market demands. Backed by initiatives such as In-Kingdom Total Value Add (IKTVA), these technological innovations are not only reducing costs and environmental footprints but also positioning Saudi Arabia as a global leader in sustainable specialty chemicals. This technology-driven transformation is expected to enhance the Kingdom’s competitiveness in both regional and international markets.
