Saudi Arabia Masterbatch Market Trends:

Circular-Economy and Recycled-Content Masterbatches

Saudi producers are rapidly advancing the adoption of high-recycled-content masterbatches in alignment with Vision 2030 sustainability targets. A notable milestone came in 2023 when Braskem and Engeflex introduced the region’s first masterbatch made entirely from Wenew post-consumer recycled (PCR) resin, proving the technical viability of PCR-based solutions in demanding applications. Building on this progress, the partners aim to scale production capacity to approximately 300,000 metric tons by 2025. Complementing these efforts, SABIC’s TRUCIRCLE program launched Saudi Arabia’s first fully circular bread-bag packaging in April 2024, using 100% mass-balanced recycled feedstock derived from advanced pyrolysis, a nationwide rollout that followed a successful pilot in March 2023. Local compounders like Al Ramz are also contributing by offering masterbatches from industrial, domestic, and agricultural PCR plastics, enabling up to 70% reduction in virgin polymer use while improving mechanical performance. Backed by industry guidelines and ISCC PLUS certification, these initiatives signal a strong shift toward circular economy practices and regulatory compliance.

Automotive and EV-Driven Demand for Functional Masterbatches

The rapid expansion of Saudi Arabia’s automotive sector is a key driver of rising demand for high-performance masterbatches, particularly for EV components that require flame retardancy, UV stability, and vivid coloration. Motor-vehicle sales surged to 758,791 units in 2023, up from 616,491 units in 2022. This momentum continued into 2024, with new light-vehicle registrations reaching 826,580 units, the strongest performance in eight years. Notably, the EV segment experienced explosive growth, fueled by expanded charging infrastructure and government incentives. This EV boom, coupled with localization efforts such as Lucid’s planned 150,000-unit EV plant in Jeddah and initiatives to produce 500,000 EVs annually by 2030, is significantly boosting demand for advanced masterbatches. In response, formulators are developing additive concentrates with superior heat resistance, antistatic functionality, and enhanced dispersion to meet stringent OEM standards. As electrification and domestic production accelerate, the automotive sector remains central to Saudi Arabia’s masterbatch market growth.
