Dublin, Dec. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Saudi Arabia Green Cement Market, By Regions, Competitive Forecast and Opportunities, 2019-2029F” report has been added ResearchAndMarkets.com Offer.
The green cement market in Saudi Arabia was worth $2.07 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $2.98 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 6.10%.
One of the key market trends in Saudi Arabia's green cement sector is the increasing demand for sustainable construction practices. As the Kingdom continues to diversify its economy and prioritize environmental protection through initiatives such as Saudi Vision 2030, there is an increased focus on reducing carbon emissions and promoting resource efficiency in the built environment.
This shift towards sustainability is driven by both regulatory requirements and market preferences. Government policies aimed at achieving carbon reduction targets and aligned with international climate agreements provide incentives for developers and contractors to use green cement as a viable alternative to traditional Portland cement. These policies create an enabling environment for the growth of the green cement market by encouraging investments in sustainable construction materials and technologies.
Developers and investors in Saudi Arabia are increasingly recognizing the long-term benefits of green cement. Buildings and infrastructure constructed with green cement typically have lower life cycle costs, reduced maintenance and improved resilience to environmental factors such as extreme temperatures and humidity. These properties contribute to the attractiveness of green cement in the market, especially for projects seeking green building certifications such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
Increased awareness among consumers and stakeholders about the environmental impact of construction activities is driving demand for sustainable materials, including green cement. End users are becoming increasingly aware of the carbon footprint associated with construction materials and are actively seeking products that contribute to sustainable development goals.
To capitalize on the growing demand for sustainable construction practices, cement manufacturers in Saudi Arabia are expanding their green cement production capacities and investing in research and development to develop new formulations and technologies. This proactive approach not only strengthens Green Cement's competitiveness in the market, but also positions Saudi Arabia as a leader in sustainable construction practices in the region and globally. Saudi Arabia has committed to building 1.5 million new homes by 2030, with an increasing focus on sustainable and energy-efficient construction practices. This includes integrating green building standards such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) and Estidama.
