Major Saudi Arabia Refractories Market Drivers

The refractory market in Saudi Arabia is witnessing an upsurge in demand during the forecast period. This is mainly due to the accelerating demand for refractories, especially among the iron & steel sector. The refractory material is mainly used in the internal lining of furnaces for the manufacturing of steel as well as iron in the vessel for holding and transportation of metal and slag. As per the World Steel Association, Saudi Arabia is among the top world’s leading 20 steel producers with the production of 8.2 million tonnes in 2019 as well as in 2018.

The construction sector in the country is booming with the launch of new government initiatives.  The government has introduced the “Saudi Vision 2030,” which includes a strategic framework to decrease the country’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and for the development of public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. Qiddiya, NEOM, Red Sea Project, Jabal Omar, and various other projects are indirectly impacting the growth of the market. In addition to this, the strong demand for construction services has surged the demand for cement and other building material. To meet the accelerating demand, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry reports SAR  3 billion in capitalization for the development of four cement plants over the next few years. Thus, the rising pace of infrastructural development in the country has surged the construction of the residential and commercial buildings, which in turn, is driving the demand for refractories, particularly in the iron & steel cement industries.
