Growth in logistics, food processing, and manufacturing sectors, alongside government investments in economic diversification under Vision 2030, further supports demand for efficient bulk handling solutions.

Saudi Arabia Conveyor Belt Market Trends:

Surge in Demand from the Cement and Construction Material Sectors

The conveyor belt market in Saudi Arabia is witnessing increased demand from the cement and construction materials sectors, driven by the government’s infrastructure projects and urban development initiatives. For instance, as per industry reports, Saudi Arabia’s construction industry is projected to grow by 4.6% in real terms in 2024. From 2025 to 2028, the sector is expected to expand at an average annual growth rate (AAGR) of 5.1%, backed by public-private investment in oil and gas projects and the Kingdom's Vision 2030 tourism ambitions. As of June 2024, the country hosts 255 tourism infrastructure projects valued at SAR 6.4 trillion (USD 1.7 Trillion). Conveyor belts are favored for their ability to move large volumes with consistent throughput, minimizing handling costs and labor reliance. Additionally, the harsh operating environments of cement plants necessitate high-performance belts resistant to abrasion and heat, prompting a rise in customized and durable belt solutions. As the construction sector continues to expand under Vision 2030’s strategic framework, conveyor systems remain essential to maintaining supply chain efficiency.

Increasing Use of Environmentally Sustainable Conveyor Belt Materials

There is a notable shift in the Saudi conveyor belt market toward the use of environmentally sustainable materials and production methods. Manufacturers are developing belts with eco-friendly rubber compounds, recycled content, and energy-efficient designs to align with rising environmental regulations and corporate sustainability mandates. For instance, as per industry reports, under its Vision 2030 strategy, Saudi Arabia is emphasizing corporate sustainability by requiring ESG disclosures from listed companies, targeting 70% compliance by 2025, and setting a national goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. This trend is particularly relevant in sectors under scrutiny for carbon emissions, such as mining and heavy manufacturing. Moreover, companies are implementing closed-loop systems where worn-out belts are collected and refurbished or repurposed, reducing landfill waste. Local demand for greener industrial practices is also reinforced by Saudi Arabia’s efforts to meet international climate commitments. As a result, conveyor belt producers are increasingly investing in R&D to offer low-impact, high-performance solutions that fulfill both operational and environmental requirements.
