The Saudi Arabia water treatment chemicals market is witnessing robust growth driven by rapid urbanization, industrial expansion, and rising water scarcity concerns. For instance, according to the UN Habitat, urbanization in Saudi Arabia is projected to rise to 97.6% by 2030, with Riyadh, the capital, expected to reach a population of 8.2 million. Furthermore, increasing reliance on desalination, a critical water source for the nation, significantly boosts demand for chemicals like antiscalants and corrosion inhibitors. Additionally, the country's growing focus on wastewater treatment, propelled by stringent environmental regulations and sustainability goals, fuels the adoption of coagulants, flocculants, and disinfectants. Key industrial sectors such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, and power generation are pivotal in driving this market as they require effective water management solutions to optimize processes and meet compliance standards. The development of advanced infrastructure and large-scale public-private partnerships further strengthens market opportunities.

Emerging trends in the market include an inclination toward biodegradable and environmentally friendly water treatment chemicals, catering to the Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 sustainability targets. The rapid deployment of cutting-edge technologies such as smart chemical dosing systems and automated water quality monitoring is significantly improving cost-efficiency as well as operational efficacy for wide range of end users. Moreover, heavy investments in research and development projects to develop customized and upgraded solutions are also substantially impacting the market dynamics, facilitating the industry to cater to the extensive water treatment challenges. In addition to this, the rapid proliferation of the industrial base in regions such as the Eastern Province and the increasing deployment of mega-projects are anticipated to further amplify the requirement for water treatment chemicals in the coming years. For instance, in November 2024, the Eastern Province Municipality announced the establishment of a 2.4 million sqm integrated industrial city in Dammam, alongside infrastructure development. With over 20,000 investment assets spanning 116 million sqm, the municipality aims to offer 5,000 investment opportunities by 2026, targeting over 90% utilization of its assets.
