Growing Demand from the Construction Sector
The expansion of industrial infrastructure and commercial projects has increased the use of paints and coatings in Saudi Arabia. This demand is particularly evident in the protective and performance coatings used for warehouses, factories, storage tanks, and pipelines. A large portion of this rise is linked to public and private investments under the country's Vision 2030 initiative. Paints with high resistance to heat, corrosion, and chemicals are now more commonly applied to ensure durability in harsh environments. Midway through 2024, major construction developments such as NEOM and the Red Sea Project accelerated procurement of specialized coatings to meet sustainability and performance standards. These projects have indirectly pushed manufacturers to improve product quality and diversify their offerings. This has created consistent volume demand in industrial segments like oil and gas, water treatment facilities, and transport hubs. Although decorative paints remain dominant in retail settings, industrial coatings have grown steadily due to their protective role. Additionally, anti-bacterial and anti-rust coatings have gained traction in sectors such as food processing and chemical manufacturing, reflecting the rising importance of compliance and safety. The continued rollout of mega infrastructure programs is expected to support this trend well beyond 2025.
Technological Shift Towards Smart Coatings
In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift toward technologically advanced coatings in Saudi Arabia industrial market growth. These products include heat-reflective, anti-fouling, self-healing, and fire-retardant coatings, tailored for demanding applications. The need for better operational performance and lower maintenance costs has led industries to adopt such solutions more frequently. This change is especially visible in the petrochemical and marine sectors, where asset longevity and corrosion control are key concerns. In the second half of 2023, Saudi Aramco and SABIC increased their usage of epoxy and fluoropolymer coatings in refinery and offshore installations to reduce re-coating cycles and improve safety margins. These use cases have encouraged coating suppliers to invest in R&D and collaborate with local clients on product customization. Some global players have introduced hybrid coatings with nanotechnology elements in selected industrial sites across Dammam and Jubail. These innovations not only improve protection but also align with the country's push for sustainability and energy savings. Moreover, smart coatings that help detect structural damage are now being tested in high-risk zones. As awareness spreads and performance results become clearer, more industries are expected to shift toward advanced coating technologies, reinforcing this long-term trend.
