The booming construction sector, fueled by Vision 2030’s mega projects like NEOM and Qiddiya, drives demand for copper pipes and tubes in Saudi Arabia. With $1.3 trillion in planned infrastructure investments, copper’s durability and thermal conductivity make it ideal for HVAC and plumbing systems. Local firms like Saudi Copper Industries produce 40,000 tons annually, supporting these projects. The Jabal Sayid mine, operated by Ma'aden Barrick, supplies over 60 million tons of copper reserves, ensuring steady raw material availability for sustainable urban development.
Rising energy efficiency regulations and oil and gas sector needs boost the copper pipes market. SAMA reports 70% of new buildings require energy-efficient HVAC systems, favoring copper’s heat transfer properties. The oil and gas industry, handling 12.4 million barrels daily, relies on copper tubes for safe fluid transport. Companies like Mueller Industries are expanding local production, with a new facility adding 15,000 tons of capacity. Government policies promoting sustainable practices further encourage copper’s use, aligning with Vision 2030’s diversification goals.
Key Market Trends & Insights:
