Saudi Arabia Leak Detection Market

Saudi Arabia Leak Detection Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia leak detection market size reached USD 85.18 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 158.06 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.11% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by the rapid adoption of advanced technologies, such as IoT-enabled monitoring and AI-driven analytics, enhancing real-time leak detection and predictive maintenance. Government mandates on efficient water management and infrastructure modernization under Vision 2030 are accelerating investments in smart leak detection solutions. Additionally, the expanding oil and gas sector and rising water scarcity concerns are escalating demand for robust detection systems, further augmenting the Saudi Arabia leak detection market share.

Saudi Arabia Leak Detection Market Trends:

Increasing Adoption of Advanced Leak Detection Technologies

The market is witnessing a significant shift toward advanced technologies including acoustic sensors, IoT-enabled monitoring systems, and AI-driven analytics. With the government’s focus on reducing water loss and improving infrastructure efficiency, utilities and industrial sectors are investing in smart leak detection solutions. These technologies enable real-time monitoring, early leak identification, and predictive maintenance, minimizing resource wastage and operational downtime. In 2023, Saudi Vision 2030 efforts introduced a great shift in its water management policy: desalination of seawater production rose by 31%, now representing 50% of the total supply distributed, up from 44% in 2022. At the same time, non-renewable groundwater consumption for agriculture decreased by 7%, reaching 9,356 million cubic meters. Even with this reduction, non-renewable groundwater continues to account for 62% of the natural supply, down from 68%. Water reuse also increased by 12% to 555 million cubic meters, while per capita household water consumption decreased to 102.1 liters per day. This increasing reliance on costly desalinated and treated water, which is piped through elaborate networks, underscores the immediate need for Saudi Arabia's leak detection industry to manage water loss, thereby maintaining the sustainability and efficiency of these critical, newly dominant resources. Additionally, stringent regulations mandating the use of efficient water management systems are accelerating adoption. Companies are also integrating drone-based inspections and satellite imaging for large-scale pipeline networks, particularly in oil and gas sectors. As Saudi Arabia continues to modernize its infrastructure under Vision 2030, the demand for automated, high-precision leak detection systems is expected to grow, creating opportunities for global and local technology providers.

Rising Demand in Oil and Gas and Water Management Sectors

The expanding oil and gas industry and increasing water scarcity concerns are also propelling the Saudi Arabia leak detection market growth. The country’s extensive pipeline networks and desalination plants require robust leak detection systems to prevent costly spills and ensure a sustainable water supply. In the oil sector, stringent safety standards and the need to minimize environmental risks are pushing companies to adopt advanced detection methods such as fiber-optic sensing and pressure monitoring. Meanwhile, municipal water authorities are deploying smart metering and acoustic leak detectors to combat high non-revenue water losses. With Vision 2030 emphasizing infrastructure development and environmental sustainability, both public and private sectors are prioritizing investments in leak prevention technologies, fueling market expansion. Gas Arabian Services Company (GAS) signed two major contracts with Saudi Power Procurement Company (SPPC) worth SAR 830.64 Million (approximately USD 221.46 Million) for the development of gas pipeline networks for the Nairyah and Rumah Independent Power Projects (IPPs). The two contracts, each worth SAR 504.32 million (approximately USD 134.45 Million) and SAR 326.32 Million (approximately USD 86.99 Million), involve design, procurement, and installation within 24 months. With the expansion of pipeline infrastructure, the application of sophisticated leak detection systems will be necessary to ensure safety and improve operational efficiency.
