Saudi Arabia Aluminum Market Outlook - 2026

Saudi Arabia aluminum market size was valued at $1.7 billion in 2018 and is anticipated to generate $2.4 billion by 2026. The Saudi Arabia aluminum market is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2019 to 2026.

Aluminum is the sixth most ductile and second most malleable metal present on earth. It possesses strong affinity for oxygen. It is exceptionally light having 2.7g/ccm density, is resistant to dust, possesses high degree of conductivity, and exhibits significant strength when alloyed. It is widely used in food & packaging and pharmaceutical industries, as it is nontoxic in nature, preserves food for prolonged times, and inhibits growth of microorganisms. It is a good electrical conductor, and thus is used frequently in electrical transmission lines. In addition, it is used as a primary propellant for solid rocket booster motor in space shuttle due to its high volumetric energy density. Corrosion resistance, reflectivity, and recyclability are other characteristics of aluminum, which makes it a favorable choice for various industrial applications.

Aluminum is widely utilized in the production of aircrafts, automotive vehicles, rail transport, and ships, as the metal is light weight and offers significant strength. There has been an increase in the production of aircrafts where the 20% of the aircraft body (Boeing 787) is aluminum. Such applications of aluminum in transportation lead to increased demand and Saudi Arabia being one of the major exporters acts as a driving factor for the aluminum market growth. The smelters built in Saudi Arabia are highly cost-efficient and possess latest manufacture and processing technologies. Thus, latest technologically advanced processes offer higher efficiency for production. This drives the growth of the aluminum market in Saudi Arabia. The country is aiming to diversify its economy by focusing on the development of non-petroleum sectors, mining and quarrying being one of them. The country benefits from various government policies such as lower interests on loans, lack of corporate tax, lower rents, and simple land grants. Thus, favorable government policies drive the market growth. However, increased circulation of Chinese products in the international market impacts the demand and supply from Saudi Arabia in the international market. Moreover, it is difficult to make new customers and when lower prices are offered the customers can be easily prompted to switch suppliers, thus, hampering the growth of the Saudi Arabia aluminum market.
