  1. MAJOR CHALLENGES FACING STEEL MANUFACTURERS IN SAUDI ARABIA Steel manufacturing is crucial to Saudi Arabia and the global economy, but challenges like raw material shortages, energy costs, competition, logistics, and labor shortages impact efficiency, profitability, and industry growth.

  2. LIMITED AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS Steel manufacturers in Saudi Arabia face challenges due to the lack of local iron ore deposits, forcing reliance on costly imports. This dependence increases manufacturing expenses and exposes the industry to global price fluctuations. Supply chain disruptions and shipment delays can slow production, affecting delivery schedules. To mitigate import reliance, some companies explore alternatives like metal recycling, but limited scrap metal availability and additional processing costs pose further challenges.

  3. HIGH ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND COSTS Steel manufacturing requires immense energy, with factories relying on gas and electricity to power furnaces, melting machinery, and rolling mills. Despite Saudi Arabia’s vast natural gas reserves, energy costs remain a concern for steel producers. High power consumption directly impacts profitability, while rising energy prices make competing with imported steel more difficult. Additionally, maintaining and upgrading energy- intensive equipment is essential for efficiency. To reduce costs, many steel companies are increasingly investing in energy-saving technologies. STRINGENT ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS Saudi Arabia is prioritizing lower industrial emissions, enforcing strict regulations on pollutants, dust, and industrial waste from steel manufacturing. Compliance requires significant investments in eco-friendly technologies, such as advanced filtration systems for furnaces and rolling mills. While these measures support sustainability, they also increase production costs. Manufacturers must also undergo continuous inspections and reporting, adding to administrative burdens.

  4. INFRASTRUCTURE AND LOGISTICS CHALLENGES Efficient transportation is vital for steel production, yet manufacturers face hurdles in moving raw materials and finished products. Customs delays, high transportation costs, and road congestion disrupt supply chains. To improve efficiency, companies invest in private logistics solutions.
