Saudi Arabia Powder Metallurgy Market

Saudi Arabia Powder Metallurgy Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia powder metallurgy market size reached USD 31.56 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 63.87 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.15% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by increasing demand from the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors, due to the rising need for lightweight, high-performance components. The implementation of government initiatives promoting industrial diversification, local manufacturing, and advanced material technologies under Vision 2030 is further supporting market growth. Additionally, expanding investments in electric vehicles, 3D printing, and additive manufacturing are important factors augmenting Saudi Arabia powder metallurgy market share.

Saudi Arabia Powder Metallurgy Market Trends:

Expansion of Automotive and EV Manufacturing Base

Saudi Arabia's emphasis on developing a strong domestic automobile sector, especially in the electric vehicle (EV) space, is having a positive impact on the market. In the national agenda for sustainability, the Kingdom plans to transform 30% of Riyadh's total vehicles into electric vehicles by 2030, a target aligned with its broader objective of reducing carbon emissions in the capital by 50%. This change is not only transforming the industry for manufacturing vehicles but also pushing demand for top-tier, localized component production technologies. Powder metallurgy is known for its capacity to create light, strong, and geometrically intricate components with very little material waste. Therefore, it is gaining traction as an ideal solution. Besides this, consumer survey results in 2024 indicate that more than 40% of Saudi consumers are planning to buy an EV in the next three years, which indicates a significant rise in local EV uptake. This expected growth in demand is spurring automakers and component manufacturers to invest in newer manufacturing technologies such as powder metallurgy, which allows cost-effective production of critical components like gears, bushings, and structural assemblies vital to EV powertrains. In addition, vehicle weight reduction due to PM parts helps reduce energy consumption, an important contributor to EV performance. As the nation aims to decrease its import dependence and establish end-to-end value chains locally within the Kingdom, powder metallurgy is coming forward as a strategic technology. This surge is further complemented by strategic partnerships with international OEMs and suppliers, transferring sophisticated material processing capabilities to local plants.

Growth in Aerospace and Defense Manufacturing

Saudi Arabia's aerospace and defense sectors are witnessing accelerated development as part of national strategies to localize military production and enhance self-sufficiency in advanced technologies. This industrial push is directly supporting Saudi Arabia powder metallurgy market growth, as advanced component manufacturing becomes a critical requirement. Also, the Vision 2030 initiative mandates that 50% of military equipment spending be sourced domestically, driving the establishment of local manufacturing hubs and defense research and development (R&D) centers. Powder metallurgy, particularly metal injection molding and hot isostatic pressing, plays a crucial role in producing complex, high-strength, and wear-resistant components used in aircraft engines, missile systems, and defense-grade electronic enclosures. These parts require tight tolerances and material uniformity, which PM technologies can deliver at scale. The industry is also moving toward additive manufacturing for prototyping and short-run production, in which PM serves as a key input material. International collaborations—such as joint ventures between Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) and global aerospace firms—are fostering the transfer of PM technologies into local contexts. As precision components become central to defense logistics and aerospace maintenance, demand for PM parts is set to grow significantly.
