As per the International Trade Administration, the ICT industry in Saudi Arabia is the largest in the North Africa and Middle East region, valued at USD 32.1 billion. In fact, the government in the region is investing heavily in the regional telecom sector, which is likely to propel the demand for electrical products such as wires and cables for power transmission.
While growth opportunities are abundant, the middle east cable market is likely to experience sluggish growth due to the high reliance on regional imports. Many economies in the region have insufficient reserves for refined copper production, leading to increased local rod production and a surge in imports. Moreover, fluctuating prices of major raw materials such as copper and aluminium add to the cost of final products which poses challenges in imports, thus impacting the overall trade dynamics.

The copper material type captured for over 70% of the Middle East cable market in 2022. Non-magnetic properties of copper, in line with its high ductility and electrical conductivity, have made it a preferred material for manufacturing cable wires. In addition, copper cables demonstrate high corrosion resistance and superior malleability, which favors their mass requirement. They are also resistant to heat, which helps eliminate overloading concerns and makes them suitable for use in heavy electrical circuits.

Saudi Arabia cable market valuation is poised to reach USD 9 billion by 2032 on account of increasing demand for fiber optic connections and improving broadband infrastructure. The mobile internet speed has also doubled in the country due to huge investments in digital infrastructure. However, the development of renewable sector is further paving the way for market growth. Citing an instance, as per the International Trade Administration, the country aims to generate around 50% of its electricity from renewables and the other 50% from gas by 2030.
Leading companies operating in the Middle East cable industry are:
These firms have been emphasizing strengthening their strategic ties to boost their presence in the global market. For example, in January 2023, Riyadh Cables Group, a Saudi Arabian cable manufacturer, inked an export agreement with Wafaa Al-Furat Company, an Iraq-based cable supplier, for supplying electrical components worth over USD 25 million.
Under this agreement, the company will export electrical wires & cables from Saudi Arabia to Iraq throughout 2023. This move will help the company expand its cable portfolio while strengthening its industry position across Iraq.
