Saudi Arabia Plastic Additives Market Overview, Trends, Size and Forecast: 2025-2030

The Saudi Arabia Plastic Additives Market size is valued at around USD 438 million in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 602 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 6.57% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The market growth is driven by the increasing consumer demand for plastic products, regulatory pressures, and the expansion in domestic feedstock and processing capacity. For instance, the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization (SASO) has introduced regulations regarding degradability, Oxo-biodegradable content, and strict standards for recyclability in plastics, thereby increasing the need to reformulate additives to meet the non-toxicity and circular economy benchmarks and maintain their partnership and incentives in the market.

Moreover, there is a steadily growing demand for plastics due to the expanding e-commerce, healthcare, and packaging sectors in the country, all of which rely on additives for improving the durability, flexibility, and longevity of plastics and polymers. Additionally, the petrochemical infrastructure of the country is seeing continued investments, which include expansions by SABIC and other national downstream operators, thereby creating a cost advantage for manufacturers of additives through more reliable, local raw material supplies. For instance, Saudi Arabia issued over 150 new industrial permits in the plastics, rubber, and chemical sectors in 2025. Therefore, these factors are contributing to the market growth in the country, further states the research report, “Saudi Arabia Plastic Additives Market Analysis, 2025.”

Saudi Arabia Plastic Additives Market Segmentation Insights:

Plasticizers are the Most Preferred Plastic Additives Types

Based on type, the market is further segmented into plasticizers, flame retardants, heat stabilizers, fillers, impact modifiers, antioxidants, colorants, lubricants, light stabilizers, and others. Plasticizers hold the largest market share due to the country's inclination towards massive infrastructure and urban development under the Vision 2030 program, with massive projects such as NEOM, The Red Sea, Riyadh Metro, and Qiddiya. This is driving the demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), that are flexible in applications such as cable insulation, water and sewage pipelines, roofing membranes, and flooring, thereby ensuring increasing demand for plasticizers in these applications. For instance, Saudi Arabia is the highest plasticizer-consuming country in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) as it has a strong petrochemical base and high demand from its massive projects. Therefore, these factors are ensuring the consistent lead of plasticizers in this growing market.

Polyethylene (PE) Segment Holds the Largest Market Share

Polyethylene (PE) is a polymer type that holds the largest market share. The market lead of this segment is driven by its important role in the country’s downstream strategy and industrial policies. For instance, SABIC has a high PE output, particularly HDPE, LDPE, and LLDPE grades, which have applications in packaging, film, and piping, all of which depend on additives such as antioxidants, processing aids, and stabilizers, thereby increasing their demand in the market.

Moreover, there is high consumer demand for physical goods that require plastic packaging, thereby ensuring consistent demand and production of PE and the additives used in it, to provide them with the required protection and performance. Additionally, there is increasing regulatory focus in the country on lowering the emissions of carbon in plastic production processes. Therefore, all these factors are driving the growth of this segment in the Plastic Additives Industry of Saudi Arabia.
