Dublin, June 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Saudi Arabia Landscaping Market Outlook to 2029" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's 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.
