TiO2 supplier for Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 construction boom and growing plastic packaging drive consistent TiO2 import demand.
Market context
Saudi Arabia consumes approximately 75,000 t TiO2 annually. The Vision 2030 megaprojects (NEOM, Diriyah, Red Sea Project, Qiddiya) are driving sustained construction paint demand. SABIC's expansion in plastic compounding adds masterbatch demand.
Saudi has no domestic TiO2 production. Cristal previously operated in Yanbu but the asset was acquired by Tronox; production focuses on export rather than domestic supply.
