Saudi Arabia Wood Pulp Market Trends & Drivers:

Saudi Arabia's wood pulp market is experiencing steady growth driven by massive investments in domestic manufacturing under Vision 2030, with MEPCO's announcement of a substantial 1.78 billion Saudi Riyals investment to establish its fifth production line in April 2024. This project will boost annual cardboard paper production capacity by 450,000 tons and nearly double MEPCO's total capacity to around one million tons per year, creating unprecedented demand for wood pulp as raw material. The Public Investment Fund's acquisition of a 23.08% stake in MEPCO demonstrates the government's commitment to supporting local paper manufacturing and reducing dependence on imports.

The growing emphasis on sustainability and circular economy principles is reshaping market dynamics, with manufacturers increasingly adopting recycled paper and alternative pulp sources such as agricultural residues. This shift aligns with Saudi Arabia's ambitious target to reduce carbon emissions by 278 million tons annually by 2030, driving demand for eco-friendly pulp solutions. The packaging industry expansion, particularly in food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce sectors, is creating sustained demand for high-quality wood pulp products across different grades including mechanical, chemical, and semi-chemical variants.

International partnerships and technology transfer are accelerating market development, with advanced automation and digitalization technologies being implemented across production facilities. The upcoming Saudi Wood Expo, scheduled for September 1-3, 2025, will showcase the latest innovations in wood processing and sustainable manufacturing, connecting over 7,500 visitors with more than 130 exhibitors from 30+ countries, further strengthening Saudi Arabia's position as a regional hub for wood pulp and paper manufacturing.
