Saudi Arabia Agrochemical and Pesticides Market Growth to Record CAGR of 6.2% up to 2034

Saudi Arabia’s agrochemical and pesticides market is moving from a niche support industry into a strategic pillar of the Kingdom’s food-security ambition. Fueled by Vision 2030, expanding commercial farming, and rapid adoption of controlled-environment agriculture, demand for crop protection and specialty agrochemicals is rising — but so are regulatory oversight and sustainability expectations.

Market size and momentum

Recent market analyses put the Kingdom’s agrochemicals market in the multi-billion dollar range, and project steady mid-single digit annual growth through the end of the decade as agriculture modernizes and producers intensify yields per hectare. Growth is driven not only by traditional field crops but by investments in greenhouses, hydroponics and indoor farming — systems that require tailored crop-protection chemistries and formulation technologies.

Saudi Arabia Agrochemical and Pesticides Market was valued at USD 0.20 Billion in 2024 and is projected to grow to USD 0.39 Billion by 2035, with a CAGR of 6.20% from 2025 to 2035.

What’s driving demand

Three linked forces explain the surge in agrochemical use:

Food security and Vision 2030 — Saudi policy actively encourages higher domestic production and technological adoption in agriculture to reduce import dependence and diversify the economy, creating a predictable long-term market for inputs. 

Modern farming systems — Greenhouses, vertical farms and precision irrigation require specialized pesticides and adjuvants (e.g., low-residue, water-soluble formulations) as producers shift from extensive to intensive production.

Private and public investment — Local chemical and petrochemical firms, distributors and multinational agrochemical companies are expanding presence and partnerships to capture distribution, formulation and local manufacturing opportunities. 

Regulation, safety and registration

Regulatory oversight is strengthening. The Saudi Food & Drug Authority (SFDA) manages registration, labeling and inspection regimes for agricultural and public-health pesticides; product registration and compliance documentation are mandatory for market access, and there is growing emphasis on correct usage, packaging and residue limits. These rules raise the bar for importers and formulators but improve consumer safety and export potential. 

Players and the supply chain

The market is a mix of global agrochemical majors and strong regional players. International firms supply active ingredients and technical know-how, while Saudi companies and distributors handle formulation, registration, last-mile logistics and farmer outreach. Local petrochemical conglomerates and agri-service firms are increasingly visible in downstream value chains, seeking to integrate inputs with mechanization and digital agronomy services.

Trends shaping the next 5 years

Sustainability & bio-pesticides: Environmental concerns and consumer preferences are pushing interest in biopesticides, natural extracts and microbial solutions that fit integrated pest management (IPM) programs. These products are especially attractive for indoor and high-value horticulture.

Precision and data-driven application: Drones, sensors and decision-support tools enable targeted spraying and reduced chemical volumes — an important cost and environmental win in arid settings. 

Formulation innovation: Water-soluble concentrates, seed treatments, and controlled-release products tailored for saline soils and controlled-environment farms will see growing uptake. 

Challenges and constraints

The sector faces several pressing challenges: water scarcity and fragile soils limit cropping choices; growing public concern about residues and environmental impacts pressures regulators and retailers; and pest resistance — if not managed by IPM — can undermine the efficacy of conventional chemistries. Finally, fragmented distribution in rural areas and the administrative burden of registration can slow market entry for smaller innovators.

Outlook: pragmatic but greener

Overall, Saudi Arabia’s agrochemical and pesticides market looks set for pragmatic expansion: growth that is closely tied to national agricultural policy and new farming technologies, yet increasingly steered by regulation and sustainability priorities. Companies that combine safe, low-residue chemistries, local registration expertise and farmer education (IPM training, correct application, resistance management) will be best placed to capture long-term value as the Kingdom pursues both higher yields and greener farming.
