Saudi Arabia Glass Market Trends:

Boom in Construction and Infrastructure Projects

Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 is fueling a massive construction and infrastructure boom which is directly boosting demand in the glass market. According to the Minister of Economy, Saudi Arabia plans to invest around USD 1 Trillion in infrastructure by 2030. This investment aims to diversify the economy beyond oil enhance non-oil sectors and promote public-private partnerships all in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 economic transformation strategy. Mega-projects such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project, Qiddiya, and Diriyah Gate are transforming the built environment and creating large-scale demand for flat, laminated, and architectural glass. These developments emphasize modern design, sustainability, and high-performance building materials pushing the use of energy-efficient glazing, curtain wall systems, and structural glass. Commercial towers, luxury hotels, airports, and smart cities across the kingdom are specifying advanced glass types to meet safety, insulation, and aesthetic requirements. As a result, both local and international glass manufacturers are expanding operations or entering the market to capitalize on this sustained demand. This surge in construction activity is expected to remain a major growth driver for the Saudi Arabia glass market through the next decade.

Expansion of Automotive Sector

The automotive sector in Saudi Arabia is undergoing steady expansion, contributing to the overall glass market growth. With rising consumer demand, increasing vehicle imports, and the country’s push toward local automotive manufacturing under Vision 2030, the need for high-quality automotive glass is on the rise. Saudi Arabia is advancing its automotive industry, focusing on electric vehicles (EVs) and local manufacturing. Initiatives include partnerships with OEMs, establishing Ceer Motors, and launching the National Automotive & Vehicles Academy. By 2030, the Kingdom aims for 30% EV fleet penetration in Riyadh, supporting its Vision 2030 goals. Laminated glass is now standard for windshields due to its safety benefits, while tempered glass is widely used in sides and rear windows. Additionally, growing interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and luxury models is driving demand for advanced glazing solutions such as solar-reflective and UV-protective glass. As new manufacturing plants and assembly lines are set up, local sourcing of automotive-grade glass is becoming more viable. This shift is encouraging international suppliers and domestic processors to expand capabilities, directly contributing to the momentum behind Saudi Arabia glass market growth in the transportation segment.
