Saudi Arabia Extruded Plastic Market Size, Share, Opportunities, COVID-19 Impact, And Trends By Type (Polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), LDPE, HDPE, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), Others), And By End-User Industry (Construction, Electrical and Electronics, Packaging, Automotive, Others) - Forecasts From 2022 to 2027

The Saudi Arabian Extruded Plastic market is predicted to witness steady growth during the projected period.

Market key highlights:

• The extruded plastics segment in Saudi Arabia is experiencing robust momentum, supported by mega-urbanisation, increasing packaging needs, and strategic industrial investments backed by Vision 2030.
• Key players are scaling production, enhancing capabilities, and forming partnerships, boosting market capacity and innovation.

Plastic extrusion is a popular manufacturing operation in modern industry, and it can be defined as a technique for converting raw plastic materials into industrial goods. The raw material is extruded and pulled through the mould before solidifying and being formed into a long item with a continuous cross-section. Extrusion should be the ongoing generation of indefinitely long products or the moderately repeated creation of numerous shorter pieces, such as pipes, tubes, etc. If the item is not continuously long, other machines must generate it, such as pipe fittings, which require injection molding machines.

Saudi Arabia Extruded Plastic Market Overview & Scope

The Saudi Arabia Extruded Plastic market is segmented by:

• By Type: The market by type is segmented into polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and others. Among these, polyethylene (PE) holds the dominant share, as it is widely used across films, sheets, and pipes that serve packaging, construction, and agriculture. Its versatility and cost-effectiveness make it the most preferred resin in the Saudi market.
• By Product Form: In terms of product form, the market includes films & sheets, pipes & tubes, wires & cables, and others. Films & sheets dominate this category due to their extensive usage in food packaging, agricultural films, and protective construction materials. The increasing retail industry and agricultural business in Saudi Arabia will keep pushing the extrusion films and sheets.
• By End-User Industry: The market can be segmented by end-user industry, by division into construction, electrical and electronics, packaging, automotive, agriculture, consumer goods and healthcare. The first sub-segment, which has the highest demand share, is packaging. The development in Saudi Arabia of e-commerce, FMCG, and the consumption of food and beverages has highly increased the application of extruded plastics in flexible, as well as rigid packaging products.
• By Region: The market is divided regionally into Riyadh, Jeddah, and Others (including the Eastern Province and other industrial centers).

Top Trends Shaping the Saudi Arabia Extruded Plastic Market

1. Growth in Construction and Infrastructure Development

• Massive infrastructure development, such as smart cities, transport, and residential projects, is being propelled by the ambitious Vision 2030 program in Saudi Arabia. These efforts are dramatically increasing the demand for extruded plastic products like pipes, sheets, and profiles that are very common in plumbing, insulation, and the structural industry. With the growth of the building industry, extruded plastics continue to be an inexpensive and flexible material option.

2. Rising demand for sustainable and recyclable plastics

• In Saudi Arabia, there is an increasing focus on sustainability, with the government and other stakeholders paying attention to recycling efforts and using environmentally-friendly materials. This is compelling manufacturers to seek novel ways of producing recyclable extruded plastics, especially polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP), which are readily recyclable. Consumers are also becoming more environmentally conscious, and this has increased the demand for biodegradable films and sheets in packaging.

Saudi Arabia Extruded Plastic Market Growth Drivers vs. Challenges

Drivers:

• Expanding Packaging Industry: Expanding e-commerce, food and beverage, and retail industries are driving demand for extruded plastic films and sheets to be used in flexible and rigid packaging. Packaging is the leading end-user segment, accounting for a substantial share of consumption.
• Strong Construction and Industrial Base: Infrastructure projects, oil & gas facilities, and petrochemical industries in regions like the Eastern Province are major contributors to extruded plastic demand, especially for pipes and tubes.
• Government’s Vision 2030 Diversification Efforts: By reducing dependence on oil revenues and promoting industrialization, Vision 2030 is creating opportunities for domestic manufacturing, including plastic extrusion facilities, to serve both local and export markets.

Saudi Arabia Extruded Plastic Market Competitive Landscape

The market is fragmented, with many notable players:

• Product Launch: In August 2025, Kobe Steel, Ltd. announced that it had decided to establish a new service base, Kobelco Machinery Solution Arabia (KMSA), in Saudi Arabia, one of the largest markets for non-standard compressors and plastic mixing and pelletizing systems.
