Saudi Arabia Cement Market Trends & Drivers:
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is set to drive cement consumption in the Kingdom to new highs. The Kingdom is converting many of its mega-projects such as NEOM, the Red Sea Project and Qiddiya into reality, with rising cement consumption as everything from roads to luxury hotels is eating up cement. Domestic sales reached a record 14.87 million tonnes in the last quarter. Pumping billions into these builds through the PIF, to diversify the economy and create jobs, is a constant in the urbanization of a country where over 84% of people live in cities that need constant upgrading. They're stepping up clinker production to 14.8 million tonnes a quarter, in step with metro lines and airports transforming city skylines from Riyadh to Jeddah. It's not just building, it's laying the foundation for a powerhouse future ahead.
A construction frenzy is reviving the Saudi Arabian cement boom, in part due to a young population and housing schemes. The cement market is worth $3.51 billion, and is being driven by residential construction, along with other types of real estate. Saudi Arabia's Sakani housing initiative is busy building thousands of affordable homes for people like the ones filling the new suburbs of Dammam or the new skyscrapers of Jeddah, and sales are up 12% in the quarter to accommodate new demand. The reasons companies are pivoting to blended cements include cost savings. With populations increasing so fast that cities are crumbling under the pressure, companies such as Yamama Cement reported 23.5% higher net profits simply for being able to optimize their delivery schedules. It's the quotidian wins, such as faster build times for starter homes, that show how this trend is making home ownership feel attainable.
Saudi Arabia is also leading the way in sustainable cement production and low-carbon cement technologies in the global climate change agenda. With a green cement market size of $167.5 million and Vision 2030 goals for net-zero and green plant incentives, Al Jouf Cement's green mix has been approved for use in NEOM projects to reduce emissions and improve supply. Companies like City Cement instead use recycled tires and waste, which are cheaper and greener than fossil fuels, so production costs increased only 8-10% this year. Likewise in February was KSA Green Infrastructure Summit where carbon neutral mixes were highlighted, as well as new companies prototyping seawater-based mixes or employing recycled rebars (steel reinforcing rods). It's great business, though: companies want to be leaner, win bigger government contracts, and appeal to builders who want raw materials without the carbon footprint that the Kingdom sees in its aggressive climate ambition.
