Market Insights & Analysis: Saudi Arabia Water-soluble Polymers Market (2025-30):

The Saudi Arabia Water-soluble Polymers Market size is valued at around USD 138 million in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 179.23 million by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5.23% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30. The Saudi Arabia Water-soluble Polymers Market is significantly growing due to several growth factors, including the rising water treatment activities, the growing desalination projects, the rapid expansion of soil stabilization & irrigation projects, the well-established oil and gas industry, which requires effective oil and gas recovery, the increasing cosmetic and personal care manufacturing, the adoption of eco-friendly alternatives, etc.

In 2024, the National Water Company (Saudi Arabia) announced plans to establish water treatment projects by investing about USD 3.2 billion for improving the water availability in different regions of the country, including Al-Qassim, Al-Baha, etc., increasing the demand for high-quality water-soluble polymers in the country. One of the most prominent growth factors is the exponentially growing paper and pulp industry in the country, which requires a substantial quantity of water-soluble polymers to make high-quality paper by reducing material losses.

Additionally, the rising expansion of the local manufacturing facilities to produce these polymers in Saudi Arabia is offering potential growth opportunities to the market players. Moreover, the rapid adoption of sustainable alternatives, including bio-based polymers, is proactively transforming the market growth trajectory, as these are eco-friendly and reduce environmental pollution, and protect the health of the environment. However, the high capital investment and supply chain disruptions in the effective delivery of these polymers to the various end-users are hampering the growth of the Saudi Arabia Water-soluble Polymers Industry.

Saudi Arabia Water-soluble Polymers Market Driver:

Increasing Water Treatment & Desalination Activities – The market growth is driven by the growing desalination & water treatment activities in Saudi Arabia, as the country lacks sufficient freshwater resources and is highly dependent on seawater, which needs to be purified. These factors are increasing the demand for water-soluble polymers for water purification in the country. For instance, the Ras Al Khair Power & Desalination Plant in the Eastern part of the country produces more than 1 million cubic meters of potable water per day by extensively using water-soluble polymers to enhance the quality of water.

Similarly, the Shuqaiq 2 Independent Water and Power Project (IWPP) generates more than 2,00,000 cubic meters of desalinated water using different agents, including water-soluble polymers. Additionally, plants like the 4 Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) Plant, Al Khobar Desalination Plant, etc., have been driving the growth of this market.
