Saudi Arabia Fertilizer Market Trends & Drivers:

A major factor driving growth in Saudi Arabia’s fertilizer market is the government’s strong focus on food security and agricultural self-sufficiency. Saudi Arabia currently meets around 80% of its food demand through imports, prompting initiatives to boost local agricultural output. Programs such as the Agricultural Development Fund recently allocated 1.5 billion SAR to support farmers adopting modern, water-saving techniques and precision fertilizer use. This push is complemented by awareness campaigns encouraging sustainable agriculture practices, which improve crop yields and reduce environmental impact, directly increasing fertilizer consumption across the country’s expanding agricultural activities.

The rising adoption of greenhouse farming and controlled-environment agriculture in Saudi Arabia is a key emerging trend fueling fertilizer demand. Greenhouses allow year-round crop production in the country’s arid climate, relying on precise nutrient management for optimal growth. Recent partnerships, such as between Saudi Greenhouse Management and Topian in NEOM, focus on innovation hubs promoting intensive horticulture, floriculture, and sustainable farming techniques. This trend drives increased use of specialized fertilizers tailored for high-value crops like fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants, supporting quality and yield improvements while conserving resources—a significant growth catalyst in the fertilizer sector.

Industrial expansion in fertilizer production, especially in Jubail and Wa’ad Al-Shamal industrial cities, is accelerating market growth with multi-billion SAR investments. The Saudi government and leading firms like Ma’aden and SABIC have launched projects expanding phosphate and nitrogen fertilizer capacities. For instance, Ma’aden recently awarded contracts worth SR3.45 billion for a third phosphate plant, which is set to add 3 million metric tons per year. These developments bolster Saudi Arabia’s fertilizer export capabilities and position the Kingdom as a major regional supplier, addressing the growing domestic market needs while supporting global fertilizer supply chains.
