The burgeoning construction sector in the GCC region, propelled by a steadily increasing population, is increasing the requirement for pipelines to transport water and gas by companies like Schlumberger NV (NYSE: SLB). Strong urbanisation in Saudi Arabia is creating a demand for efficient and quality public services, including safe drinking water, aiding the GCC PPR pipes market growth.
PPR pipes are resistant to corrosion, making them an excellent option for water piping systems. The market for PPR pipes is driven by their improved physical properties, high quality, and factors such as the prevention of bacterial growth.
In 2023, the Saudi government allocated USD 9.17 billion for Saudi Arabia’s infrastructural development. Saudi Arabia’s population growth is exerting pressure on its existing infrastructure, especially water infrastructure. PPR pipes help to efficiently distribute water into homes and industries, which drives the market in the GCC.
In August 2023, the Saudi Plastic Products Company (Sappco) signed a contract to provide high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes for a seawater cooling project in the Jazan region of the Kingdom. This agreement is a follow-up to the one that was previously made with China Harbour Engineering Company (CHEC) for the delivery of its cutting-edge HDPE pipes with big diameter technology to the location of a major sea water cooling project.
Sappco clarified that, in order to assure project success and as part of its contribution to Kingdom's vision 2023. The contract, awarded by the Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu (RCJY), represents a significant advancement in Jazan City's first-tier development.
