Decorative Paints, KSA, 2025–2030

Saudi Arabia's decorative paints market remains one of the largest and most attractive in the GCC, supported by long-term investments in housing, urban development, tourism, and infrastructure under Vision 2030. While the market continues to offer significant opportunities, the operating environment has become increasingly volatile. During the first half of 2026, project reprioritization, slower contract awards, supply chain disruptions, and budget rationalization across selected giga projects have created uncertainty around demand visibility and project execution timelines. At the same time, residential housing and strategically prioritized developments continue to provide pockets of resilience.
