Growing Demand for Motor Vehicle and Building Industries
The Saudi Arabian metal coatings industry is driven by growing demand from the automotive and construction sectors. Both sectors are growing fast as a result of the government's Vision 2030, which is aimed at diversifying the economy and lessening its reliance on oil. The automotive industry is experiencing an upsurge in manufacturing and sales, which is catalyzing the demand for metal coatings to enhance durability and performance of auto components, such as undercarriages and exterior parts. Likewise, the construction industry is driven by multiple infrastructure projects, such as new city developments, commercial complexes, and residential areas. Metal coatings are being used to shield steel and other metals against corrosion and extreme environmental conditions. With these industries focusing on innovations, demand for high-performance metal coatings will increase, propelling the Saudi Arabia metal coatings market growth. The IMARC Group predicts that the Saudi Arabia construction market size is projected to attain USD 135.6 Billion by 2033.
Shifting Emphasis towards Sustainability and Environmental Regulations
Environmental issues and sustainability are emerging as key factors driving the market. The nation is actively enforcing tougher rules to minimize its environmental footprint, which is encouraging industries to move towards more sustainable coatings. The increasing focus on utilizing environment-friendly materials, including low-volatile organic compounds (VOC) and lead-free coatings, is transforming coating formulations. Industries are also turning to coatings that not only improve the looks and protection qualities of metal surfaces but also meet rigorous environmental regulations. As there is growing concern over sustainability, more manufacturers are spending money on research and development (R&D) to make coatings that satisfy these changing regulatory expectations. This trend is shifting the market towards high-performance, eco-friendly coating solutions that can provide both performance and environmental compliance. In 2025, IMCD Group showcased its technical expertise and innovation-oriented strategy at the Saudi Arabia Coatings Show (SACS) 2025, planned for 13–15 May in Dammam. The Coatings & Construction division of the company was located at Booth 3B20, providing demonstrations and expert sessions to connect with local partners. At SACS 2025, IMCD introduced its Expert4Experts discussions at the booth. These sessions, conducted by technical personnel, concentrated on formulations tailored to specific regions utilizing raw materials sourced from IMCD's supplier network. Presentations addressed subjects such as water-based metal coatings, polyaspartic systems, cementitious tile adhesives, and improved decorative paints. Live demonstrations will transform these advancements into practical uses.
Development of Coating Technologies
Technological innovations are playing a major role in facilitating the development of effective metal coatings in Saudi Arabia. Innovation in coating technology is improving coating performance and longevity, which is increasing their appeal to industries like automotive, construction, and manufacturing. Products like nanocoatings, powder coatings, and high-performance polymer coatings are gaining traction in the market because they possess better protective properties in terms of corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, and durability. These developments are also leading to more flexible and simpler-to-apply coatings, enhancing manufacturing efficiency for manufacturers and minimizing cost. With industries in Saudi Arabia focusing on high quality and durability, the market for these technologically superior metal coatings is experiencing growth.
