Saudi Arabia Landscaping Market Grows to $2.50B as Giga Projects Expand

Urbanization in Riyadh and Makkah, coupled with initiatives like the Riyadh Green Initiative, fuel demand. Challenges include water scarcity and skills gap, met with opportunities in climate-responsive landscaping and smart irrigation solutions. Dublin, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Saudi Arabia Landscaping Market Outlook to 2029" has been added to offering. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) Landscaping Market is experiencing remarkable growth, valued at USD 2.50 billion, reflecting increased investments in public infrastructure and private residential projects. The sector's growth is fuelled by large-scale projects like the Red Sea Project, NEOM, and King Abdullah Financial District. The expanding pipeline of giga projects and mixed-use developments continues to propel the demand for landscaping across the kingdom. In particular, the Riyadh Province and cities like Makkah and Jeddah are at the forefront of this expansion. High urbanization rates, substantial hotel developments, and commercial growth in these areas have significantly boosted the demand for green spaces and water-efficient outdoor amenities. Makkah alone contributes 85,000 hotel room keys under development. Initiatives such as the Riyadh Green Initiative aim to plant 7.5 million trees, enhancing the region's landscaping projects and drawing attention from public and private sector contracts. Landscaping companies in Saudi Arabia navigate regulatory frameworks established by the Ministry of Municipal, Rural Affairs, and Housing and adhere to guidelines from the Saudi Contractors Authority. New policies, including the 2.5% white land tax, incentivize urban development, while further initiatives support the Vision 2030 goals of increasing green space per capita, emphasizing environmental sustainability. Contractual regulations mandate performance bonds, insurance guarantees, and restrictions on subcontracting.

Companies with expertise in smart irrigation, drought-tolerant designs, and involvement in giga-projects are gaining a competitive edge, as sustainability becomes a primary bid criterion. KSA Landscaping Market Analysis Growth Drivers Main drivers include the Vision 2030 Urban Greening Mandate and tourism-related aesthetic enhancements. Giant developments like NEOM require intricate landscaping in resorts and urban plazas, while the real estate expansion prioritizes greenery and eco-friendly solutions. Market Challenges Key challenges involve water scarcity and a shortage of skilled landscaping professionals. Successful projects depend on efficient irrigation and drought-resistant techniques, challenging the sector amidst labor constraints and a lack of specialized training programs.

Africa holds $4 trillion in domestic capital for infrastructure investment
The Africa Finance Corporation has said African governments should look inward to tap into an estimated $4 trillion in capital held by domestic institutional investors. The Africa Finance Corporation emphasizes utilizing $4 trillion in domestic institutional capital for infrastructure development. Pension funds ($455 billion) and sovereign wealth funds ($150 billion) make up a portion of this capital pool. Legal restrictions and a lack of financial instruments hinder efficient use of domestic capital assets. The Africa Finance Corporation has said African governments should look inward to tap into an estimated $4 trillion in capital held by domestic institutional investors. According to the AFC, around $455 billion of this capital is currently held in pension funds, while sovereign wealth funds account for another $150 billion. When combined with commercial bank assets and foreign currency reserves, the total pool of investable domestic capital across the continent reaches $4 trillion. With the continent's population and economies rapidly expanding, investments in sectors like railways and power generation are becoming increasingly urgent. However, traditional funding avenues, such as foreign direct investment and official development assistance, are no longer keeping pace with the continent's infrastructure needs, Reuters reported. African governments are finding it increasingly difficult to allocate funds for development projects, as interest payments consume a growing portion of national budgets. Shrinking donor budgets, and rising protectionist policies in advanced economies are further constraining the flow of funds, the AFC noted in its report. Legal and regulatory hurdles remain According to the report, much of this domestic capital is currently held by institutions or parked in short-term, liquid assets like money markets, largely due to legal restrictions on how pension funds can be invested. Most African nations lack the regulatory clarity and financial instruments needed to redirect capital flows, the AFC said, adding that the vacuum is one of the biggest barriers to mobilizing domestic capital at scale. South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya are among a small group that have begun to align savings with development needs, the lender said. Still, progress is slow. Nigeria's pension exposure to infrastructure has grown from less than 0.02% to 1% of total assets since 2017.
