Saudi Arabia's chemicals and plastics sector is a cornerstone of its diversified economy. With industry giants dominating the global market, the Kingdom is leveraging its vast hydrocarbon resources to create high-value products.

​

SABIC, one of the world's largest chemicals and plastics producers, leads the charge. The company reported impressive revenues of $37 billion in 2024, thanks to its vast production capacity of over 53 million tonnes per year. Its close integration with Aramco provides a significant competitive advantage with a stable feedstock supply.

​

The petrochemical ecosystem is further strengthened by key players like Tasnee and the Advanced Petrochemical Company. These companies, with their state-of-the-art facilities in Jubail, specialize in exporting polypropylene and its derivatives, expanding Saudi Arabia’s role as a global hub for manufacturing and exporting high-value petrochemicals.
