Saudi Arabia Ready-Mix Concrete Market Drivers

Increasing Urbanization in KSA

The nation’s level of Urbanization has increased from 21% in 1950 to 84.7% in 2021 and is projected to reach 90% in 2050. With nearly 84.7% population living in Urban areas, Saudi Arabia is one of the most urbanized countries across the world. This high degree of urbanization increases the need for infrastructural development. Most of the urban settlers live in the major cities of Saudi Arabia which include Riyadh, Jeddah, Mecca, Dammam, Madinah etc.

Rapid urbanization across Saudi Arabia has increased the development of many private sector companies, such as shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants, driving the growth of the industry. In 2017, the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MOMRA) introduced the first Smart Cities program – an ambitious initiative by the government to encourage smart transformation in Saudi cities to enter the digital age.

As per Vision 2030, Government of Saudi Arabia set-up a sovereign wealth fund, amounting up to USD 2 trillion for the development of large-scale projects, including nine mega-projects such as Qiddiya, Red Sea Project and NEOM, which is expected to generate tremendous growth opportunities in the market.

Government Policies to Transform Saudi Economy from Oil Based to Non-Oil Based under Vision 2030

Increasing crude oil prices in the international markets and rising population growth rates, are further contributing towards the market growth. As government is highly reliant on crude oil income and crude oil prices are projected to remain at USD 97 per barrel in 2023 and USD 88 per barrel in 2024 which is expected to increase government’s revenue and eventually giving government more fund for expenditure, which will accelerate the execution of giga projects, thereby driving the growth of ready-mix concrete market in Saudi Arabia. However, medium investments required for setting-up ready-mix concrete plants and challenges faced by companies in managing concrete from mixer to different points of work, are restricting the market growth.
