Saudi Arabia Cement Market Trends:

Rising Demand Driven by Mega Construction Projects

The market is experiencing significant growth due to the increasing number of large-scale construction projects under Vision 2030. The government is heavily investing in infrastructure, including NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya, which are driving cement demand. Additionally, urban expansion and housing projects, such as the Sakani initiative, are further enhancing consumption. Saudi Arabia's housing supply is expected to grow to 3.9 million units by 2028 from its existing 3.5 million units, driven by initiatives such as Sakani and Wafi, along with a national rate of homeownership at 63.7% in 2023. Riyadh needs an extra 305,000 houses, while apartment prices have appreciated by 75% to SAR 5,780 (approximately USD 1,540.95) per square meter and villa prices by 40% to SAR 5,190 (approximately USD 1,383.65) per square meter since 2019. This growth in residential development makes advanced construction aggregates more critical for Saudi Arabia's expanding urban centers. With the Kingdom aiming to diversify its economy and enhance living standards, the construction sector remains a key focus, ensuring sustained cement demand. However, fluctuating raw material costs and energy prices pose challenges to production efficiency. Companies are adopting advanced technologies to optimize output while maintaining competitive pricing. As these projects progress, cement manufacturers are expected to see steady growth, supported by both public and private sector investments in residential, commercial, and industrial developments.

Sustainability Initiatives Shaping Cement Production

Sustainability is also supporting the Saudi Arabia cement market growth as the government enforces stricter environmental regulations. Cement producers are increasingly adopting green practices, such as using alternative fuels and raw materials to reduce carbon emissions. The Saudi Green Initiative promotes eco-friendly construction, pushing manufacturers to invest in energy-efficient technologies such as waste heat recovery systems. Saudi Arabia is at the forefront of green construction in the Arab world, with 2,000 out of a total of 5,000 projects, driven by rapid population growth and sustainable urban development. The green building industry in the Kingdom is projected to grow to USD 16.4 Billion in 2024 and USD 33 Billion in 2030, tremendously escalating demand for sustainable and low-energy materials. Aramco's USD 1.5 Billion sustainability fund and a fresh memorandum of understanding with the Saudi Contractors Authority signify investment in supporting green construction technology and training. Additionally, the use of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) is rising to lower clinker content and minimize environmental impact. Companies are also exploring carbon capture and storage (CCS) solutions to align with net-zero goals. These efforts not only comply with regulatory standards but also enhance market competitiveness by appealing to environmentally conscious buyers. As sustainability becomes a priority, the cement industry is expected to undergo significant transformation, balancing growth with ecological responsibility.
