Saudi Arabia Water Resource Management Market Trends:

Increasing agricultural demand

Agricultural demand is a critical driver of the water resource management market in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia has set ambitious agricultural production goals despite its arid climate and limited natural water resources in an effort to improve food security and reduce dependence on imported agricultural products. The extensive water usage in agriculture, especially in arid regions where irrigation is crucial, exerts significant pressure on the nation’s water resources, emphasizing the importance of effective water management strategies. Furthermore, the Saudi government and the private sector stakeholders are currently investing more in advanced irrigation technologies such as drip and precision irrigation systems, aiming to maximize water use efficiency in agriculture. These are important in decreasing water waste and optimizing resource distribution to enable sustainable agricultural practices. Moreover, treated wastewater is being increasingly used for agriculture, in line with the policy objective of the kingdom to save fresh water for vital domestic and industrial purposes. Such initiatives resulting in the implementation of new technologies and infrastructures that help satisfy agricultural requirements without jeopardizing water supplies, are contributing to the growth of the market rapidly.

Rising population growth

Population growth is a primary driver in powering the Saudi Arabian water resource management market, increasing demand in domestic, agricultural, and industrial sectors. As the population grows, demand for secure access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and food security has heightened, placing pressure on Saudi Arabia's already scarce freshwater resources. Being a largely desert nation, Saudi Arabia is confronted with particular water scarcity challenges, for which it needs sophisticated and sustainable water management to address increasing demands. Apart from this, the growing population is also fueling urbanization, which, in effect, is increasing the demand for essential infrastructure like desalination plants, wastewater treatment, and sophisticated irrigation systems. Desalination technology, especially, is more crucial in Saudi Arabia as it depends on this technology to provide most of its water requirements. To acknowledge these needs, the Saudi government is placing large investments in water management within its Vision 2030 plan, which will help achieve long-term water security and advance water recycling and conservation technology.
