Saudi Arabia steel industry

 

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has become one of the favourite destinations for the steel majors due to thriving construction sector, and soaring steel demand. Over the past few years, the rapid economic development has led to skyrocketing growth in the construction and infrastructure industry, booming investment in real estate and cheap and reliable gas/energy supply, which has boosted steel demand in the country and caught the attention of global steel giants.

 

With the industry’s immense growth potential, according to “Saudi Arabia Steel Industry Forecast to 2013”, Economic growth has also contributed substantially to raise domestic steel consumption by accelerating business activities. In fact, the impact of economic slowdown on the real estate projects was minimal. Out of the total real estate projects worth US$543 billion, mere 4% have been cancelled or delayed. Hence, all these factors have fuelled the consumption of iron and steel in the Kingdom to reach around 14.8 million metric tonnes in 2009 and will boost to over 26 million tonnes by 2015. The steel consumption in the Kingdom will grow 14% CAGR during 2012-2015.

 

At present, the steel industry in Saudi Arabia is highly import oriented. However, the situation is expected to reverse in future with the escalation of domestic production. The share of imported steel will see a downward trend in coming years as several major capacity expansion plans of manufacturers under pipeline.
