Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market Research Report: Forecast (2023-2028)

Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market Driver:

Surging Construction of Residential Building to Lead the Market Growth – During the historical period, the residential sector experienced notable growth due to the increasing construction of housing units in the country. The emergence of government housing programs such as the Sakani housing program has been a key growth driver in Saudi Arabia's residential construction industry. The expansion of housing units significantly contributed to the demand for PVC construction materials like pipes & fittings, siding & cladding, window frames & profiles, roofing membranes, etc.

Furthermore, the government has been continuously investing in the residential sector to raise home ownership to reach nearly 70% by 2030. The government launched more than 90 residential construction projects across Saudi Arabia in 2020, intending to construct more than 140,000 housing units over the next few years. As a result, the expansion of residential projects would necessitate the demand for construction materials in the country. Also, the soaring need for construction materials in the country would push the demand for manufacturing PVC-made construction materials, therefore upscaling the growth graph of the Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market.

Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market Challenge:

Environmental Concerns Regarding the Polyvinyl Chloride to Limit the Market Growth PVC production involves the usage of fossil fuels & energy-intensive processes, which contribute to carbon emissions. PVC often requires to use additives, such as plasticizers & stabilizers, which can potentially drain out and have environmental & health impacts. The disposal of PVC products also poses several challenges, as improper disposal or incineration can release harmful pollutants.

Saudi Arabia is increasingly focusing on sustainability & has been prioritizing eco-friendly products in the country. Hence, the construction of smart buildings & green buildings in the country has been relying on other eco-friendly alternatives like bio-based polymers, thermoplastic elastomers, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), etc., to limit harmful emissions. This frequent adoption of green alternatives is presumed to impede the Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market progression.

Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market Opportunity:

Expansion of Automotive Industry to Augment the Demand for PVC in the Forecast Period In recent years, the automotive sector in Saudi Arabia has gained traction with the rising presence of automotive OEMs in the country to decrease the dependence on automotive imports. Automotive manufacturing is witnessing a surge in investment to meet the local & export-based demand for automobiles. Thus, the government has taken various initiatives like the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP) in 2019 to develop the automotive manufacturing industry as a plan to diversify the economic base. Due to the strong support from the government, the companies like Saudi National Automotive Manufacturing Company (SNAM) and Lucid Motors started manufacturing automobiles during the historical period.

Additionally, the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources and the Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF) also aim to manufacture more than 300,000 cars annually by 2030, which would further promote the automotive sector. Hence, the expansion of Automotive OEMs in Saudi Arabia would propel the demand for PVC for manufacturing car components like dashboards, door panels, seat coverings, seals & gaskets, etc., creating a lucrative opportunity for the Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market during the forecast period.

Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market Trend:

Growing Demand for Bio-based Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Products The government of Saudi Arabia has been taking the initiative for the usage of sustainable & eco-friendly products in the country. Research & development efforts have focused on developing bio-based alternatives to conventional PVC. These bio-based PVC formulations incorporate renewable resources, such as plant-based feedstock or agricultural waste, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. Bio-based PVC offers similar properties & functionality while reducing the carbon footprint associated with PVC production. Hence, the implementation of various stringent carbon emission norms like the Circular Carbon Economy National Program & the reduction of carbon emission by 278mtpa by 2030 target by the government would lead to the penetration of bio-based polyvinyl chloride, consequently becoming a trend in the Saudi Arabia Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Market during 2023-28.
