Saudi Arabia Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market Insights Forecasts to 2035

• Saudi Arabia Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market CAGR 2024: 7.1%
• Saudi Arabia Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market Segments: Type and Application

The Saudi Arabia reverse osmosis (RO) membrane market refers to the market for membrane technologies that desalinate seawater and treat brackish and industrial water because of the increasing water demand, the development of large desalination facilities and the implementation of government water sustainability programs.

LG Chem established a strategic partnership with AlKhorayef Group to create an RO membrane production facility and technical center in Saudi Arabia, which will begin operations in early 2026 to meet rising RO demand and develop domestic technology.

National Desalination Agreements & Industry Development – The Saudi Water Authority, together with local partners, has established agreements with both domestic and international partners to develop the RO membrane industry, which will create jobs and increase domestic production while driving GDP expansion by 2030.

The future opportunity in Saudi Arabia's reverse osmosis membrane market will expand through new desalination plants and domestic membrane production, energy-saving systems and increasing industrial and municipal wastewater recycling programs.

Market Dynamics of the Saudi Arabia Reverse Osmosis Membrane Market:

The Saudi Arabia reverse osmosis membrane market is driven by the water shortage problem, together with the dependence on desalination, the fast population increase and the increasing need for industrial water, creating critical water supply challenges. The combination of Vision 2030 government programs, together with large desalination projects and energy-efficient RO membrane technology progress and domestic production investments, creates a market expansion acceleration.

The Saudi Arabia reverse osmosis membrane market is restrained by the system facing challenges, which include expensive initial investments and expenses for membrane cleaning and replacement, high-energy operations and problems with brine disposal and its need for specialized imported technologies.

The future of Saudi Arabia's reverse osmosis membrane market is bright and promising, with the combination of rising desalination investments, local manufacturing growth and advanced energy-efficient membranes, water reuse projects and active government support through Vision 2030 creating a continuous growth pattern.

Market Segmentation

The Saudi Arabia reverse osmosis membrane market share is classified into type and application.

By Type:

The Saudi Arabia reverse osmosis membrane market is divided by type into thin-film composite membranes and cellulose-based membranes. Among these, the thin-film composite membranes segment dominated the share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. Because of high durability in saline water conditions, cost-effectiveness, and energy efficiency in both industrial and residential applications, all contribute to the thin-film composite membranes segment's largest share and higher spending on reverse osmosis membranes when compared to other types.

By Application:

The Saudi Arabia reverse osmosis membrane market is divided by application into industrial water treatment, desalination, residential water purification, and others. Among these, the industrial water treatment segment accounted for the largest market share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a remarkable CAGR during the forecast period. The industrial water treatment segment dominates because of strict environmental regulations on wastewater discharge, high demand for high-purity water in manufacturing, and the necessity for industrial water recycling amid acute water scarcity in India.
