GCC Specialty Chemicals Market Growth & Trends
The GCC specialty chemicals market size is estimated treach USD 46.08 billion by 2030, registering tgrow at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2025 t2030 according ta new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Expanding oil and gas, and construction and building industries along with the lucratively growing industries such as automotive, textiles and water treatment among others, in the region are the major factors driving the market growth.
Prominence of oil and gas sector in GCC countries including Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait has driven the growth of oilfield chemicals such as corrosion inhibitors, demulsifiers, and other high-performance function-based products. Furthermore, government initiatives in line with Vision 2030 focused on economic diversification and reducing their revenue dependence on oil owing tthe vulnerabilities of price fluctuations and declining demand in oil & gas sector, is likely tcreate demand for products from other booming industries in the region. These industries include construction and building, textiles, automotive, and personal care and cosmetics among others. Therefore, the demand for textile additives, polymers, coatings, adhesives, sealants, cosmetic additives, and plastic additives is expected trise in the forthcoming years.
Rapid growth of construction and building industry of GCC with several upcoming construction projects such as smart cities-NEOM and King Abdullah Economic City-are expected tcreate a significant demand from construction end use for products such as corrosion inhibitors, waterproofing and wear and tear protection additives among others. Saudi Arabia and UAE that account for 17.2% and 5.7% of the global proved oil reserves are expected tbe major markets for oilfield chemicals. Rising sales of cars driven by a few macroeconomic factors including population growth, urbanization, and income growth has driven the demand of automobiles in the region. In addition, new projects of automotive hub development in Saudi Arabia is likely textend the demand for specialty polymers, coatings, and catalysts. COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted the economies across the geographies, especially U.S., Italy, China, France, Germany, and Spain among others has disrupted the supply chain and resulted in a sharp decline in oil demand owing tindustrial shutdowns. This is likely tindirectly restrict the regional market growth.
Government support and new projects coming up in the region have attracted significant players intthe GCC market in order ttap such growth opportunities. International players are entering intthe market via acquisition, collaboration or alliance with the players of GCC players, for instance the joint venture between The Dow Chemical Company and Saudi Arabian Oil Co. for the formation of Sadara Chemical Company. This is likely texpand the market in region and drive intense competition amongst domestic as well as global players.
