Saudi Arabia is witnessing a boom in residential due to the growth in demand for houses in the country. The country has recorded the issuance of housing mortgages. For example, the Saudi central bank known as SAMA announced the number of residential mortgages by the banks operating in the country for the period January 2024 to September 2024. The sum amounts to over USD 16 billion. Additionally, 64 percent of this amount relates to housing purchases. Besides, the construction of new housing units will lead to an increase in demand for ceramic tiles across the country.

The commercial & retail expansions are also accelerating as the country hopes to transform itself as a hub at the regional as well as global levels for commerce, tourism, and entertainment. This transformation is taking place under the country's overall progressive process of economic diversification towards the non-oil sectors. The change in the country's policies resulted in 184 foreign companies setting their regional headquarters in the country, in the first half of 2024. This is rise of around 300% from just 44 foreign companies in 2021. Besides, Saudi Arabia is set to attract 150 million tourists by 2030. This will increase the demand for ceramic tiles thereby driving the market growth.


Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market Research Report: Forecast (2025-2030)

Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market Driver:

Rapid Residential Sector Growth – Residential real estate in Saudi Arabia is growing at a rapid pace, mainly because of new projects due to strong housing demand. This is further seen given the rising prices and rent of residential units in the country, which represents the healthy demand for housing, particularly in the major cities. Kingdom further reported that in the first half of 2024, residential real estate posted a 10% jump in its sales prices year on year. By the second quarter of 2024, the sales transactions volume for residential real estate stood around USD 7 billion rising by 56.1% for the same period in 2019. The strong growth in the residential sector of the country would drive the demand for ceramic tiles.

Apart from this, the Municipal and Rural Affairs & Housing (MoMRAH) Ministry expects the completion of around 300,000 new residential units by 2025. The development of such scenarios is expected to drive the demand in the ceramic tiles market of Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market Opportunity:

Escalating Commercial Real-Estate Growth – Saudi Arabia wants to be a global center and one of the leading destinations for businesses and tourists worldwide. This is because the country is diversifying its economy away from the oil sector to non-oil sectors. This led to the massive expansion of the commercial real estate sector in Saudi Arabia. This has led to not just the development of new commercial real estate but also the upgradation and expansion of the existing ones. Moreover, various companies operating in Saudi Arabia are coming together to execute such projects. For example, the Riyadh Development Company and Riyadh Holding Company formed a partnership in August 2024, to rejuvenate and upgrade the Qasr Al-Hukm area’s commercial markets.

Furthermore, the office space in the country is expanding rapidly. For instance, Knight Frank expects that the overall space of grade A office in Riyadh alone would reach over 6 million sq. m. by 2026 from the 1 million sq. m. as of November 2024.

Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market Challenge:

Alternative Flooring Materials – Saudi Arabia is slowly opening up its economy to foreign players and enterprises as it moves away from its oil-dependent economy. This has allowed entrants, especially Chinese ones, to enter the market in Saudi Arabia offering many kinds of flooring products, which are cheaper compared to ordinary ceramic tile products. Those products are vinyl flooring, wood flooring, floor panels, etc.

Vinyl flooring is becoming a trend in Saudi Arabia. This is because, vinyl flooring is cheaper, more versatile, and can be applied and changed easily in contrast to ceramic tiles. Similarly, wood flooring is also gaining prominence in Saudi Arabia as it gives a premium look to the buildings. The growth of alternative materials could restrain the growth in the Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market.

Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market Trend:

Use of Advanced Technology – Saudi Arabia has a massive digital infrastructure with nearly a complete internet and smartphone penetration in 2024. This resulted in many companies incorporating the advanced technology into their business. For example, RAK Ceramics, a leading ceramic tiles company in Saudi Arabia, is incorporating IoT and automation in factories to optimize tile manufacturing and operational efficiency. Further, RAK Ceramics and Al-Omran Ceramics are offering services where customers can design their desired rooms in the form of simulation and visualize which type of tiles would go best with the layout. Furthermore, the incorporation of augmented reality and virtual reality will further elevate the customer experience. The unfolding of such scenarios would result in healthy growth in Saudi Arabia Ceramic Tiles Market and its expansion over the forecasted period.
