Saudi Arabia Foundry and Casting Market

Saudi Arabia Foundry and Casting Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia foundry and casting market size is projected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.3% during 2025-2033. Extensive infrastructure development, the expanding automotive sector, and industrial growth under Vision 2030's economic diversification are some of the factors contributing to Saudi Arabia foundry and casting market share. Increased local content demands in oil and gas, defense, and manufacturing also fuel demand.

Saudi Arabia Foundry and Casting Market Trends:

Surging Demand from Construction and Infrastructure Projects

The Saudi Arabia foundry and casting market is experiencing firm growth as a result of heavy investment by the country in developing infrastructure. Vision 2030 has initiated a huge spate of construction work, ranging from mega-projects such as NEOM, Qiddiya, the Red Sea Project, and the Riyadh Metro. These projects call for huge amounts of metal parts for structural, transportation, and utility purposes. Foundries are increasing the manufacture of cast iron, steel, and aluminum components employed in pipelines, pumps, valves, frames, and machinery. Government expenditure on transport networks, industrial estates, and public utilities further reinforced downstream demand for cast parts. Moreover, joint ventures between Saudi and overseas manufacturers are increasing local capacity to deliver specifications for these massive projects. Consequently, the foundry industry is growing to serve both public infrastructure and private real estate projects, with various new plants and modernization schemes in development to satisfy increasing demand. These factors are intensifying the Saudi Arabia foundry and casting market growth.

Localization and Technology Upgradation in Manufacturing

In Saudi Arabia, the foundry and casting industry is moving towards more localization and adoption of technology. As a part of the national plan to decrease import reliance and increase local manufacturing, local foundries are being assisted to upgrade their facilities. This comprises investments in induction furnaces, state-of-the-art molding lines, simulation software, and quality testing apparatus. Meanwhile, public procurement policies are giving a boost to locally made components in the energy, water, defense, and transport industries. Industrial clusters in Dammam and Jubail are turning into clusters of technologically sophisticated foundries serving oil and gas, automotive, and machinery industries. Incentives such as the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority (LCGPA) are also encouraging capacity-building and training schemes to enhance skills in metallurgy and precision casting. The continuous localization and integration of technology are making the foundry industry in Saudi Arabia more efficient, less lead time-consuming, and more quality-focused.
