Press Release

Saudi Arabia Adsorbents Market is expected to Grow with a CAGR of 3.87% through 2030

Rising demand for various applications are expected to drive Saudi Arabia Adsorbents Market in the forecast period, 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Adsorbent Market - By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Saudi Arabia Adsorbents Market was valued at USD 119.89 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 148.85 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.87%.

Technological advancements in the Saudi Arabia Adsorbents Market are accelerating, driven by the need for efficiency, sustainability, and compliance with environmental standards. One key development is the integration of nanotechnology, which enhances adsorbent surface area and selectivity. Nano-engineered molecular sieves, for instance, offer superior pore structures for precise gas separation in refining, reducing energy consumption by up to 20% in processes like pressure swing adsorption (PSA). This is particularly relevant in Saudi Arabia's vast natural gas fields, where advanced zeolites remove contaminants more effectively.

Bio-based and regenerative adsorbents represent another breakthrough, utilizing local agro-waste like date palm residues to produce activated carbon. Research from KACST has led to biochar adsorbents with high microporosity, ideal for water treatment amid the Kingdom's desalination push. These materials not only lower production costs but also align with circular economy principles, minimizing waste and supporting Vision 2030's sustainability targets.

In tail gas treatment, hydrogenation catalysts have evolved with localized production, as seen in Axens' 2025 expansion, enabling faster regeneration cycles and higher sulfur recovery rates in refineries. Carbon capture technologies incorporate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), advanced adsorbents with tunable properties for CO2 sequestration, aiding net-zero goals.

Digitalization, including AI-optimized adsorption systems, allows real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance, enhancing operational reliability in petrochemical plants. These innovations, backed by policies like IKTVA, foster local R&D and reduce import reliance, positioning Saudi Arabia as a regional leader in adsorbent technology.
