Saudi Arabia Electric Water Heater Market Size And Share - Growth Analysis Report And Forecast Trends (2026-2035)
Dublin, Sept. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- "Saudi Arabia Electric Water Heater Market Size and Share - Growth Analysis Report and Forecast Trends (2026-2035)" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Saudi Arabia Electric Water Heater Market to Reach USD 438.17 Million by 2030 as Vision 2030 Accelerates Demand
The Saudi Arabia electric water heater market reached USD 320.22 million in 2025 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 6.47% through 2035. The market is forecast to reach USD 438.17 million by 2030, supported by residential construction, hospitality development, energy efficiency regulations and investment in smart, renewable-ready infrastructure.
Saudi Vision 2030 remains a primary catalyst for electric water heater demand across the Kingdom. Large-scale housing programmes, commercial developments and tourism giga-projects are increasing requirements for reliable, energy-efficient hot water systems. The Sakani programme's target of delivering 700,000 new homes by 2025 has reinforced residential demand, while continued investment in hotels, healthcare facilities, offices and retail properties is creating substantial commercial opportunities.
Saudi Arabia Electric Water Heater Market Highlights
- Market value in 2025: USD 320.22 million Projected market value in 2030: USD 438.17 million Projected CAGR from 2026 to 2035: approximately 6.47% Storage tank water heater revenue share in 2024: approximately 70.76% Projected tankless water heater CAGR: approximately 9.85% GCC electric water heater market value in 2025: USD 394.28 million
Storage tank water heaters accounted for approximately 70.76% of Saudi market revenue in 2024. Their leadership reflects established distribution networks, broad product availability and strong familiarity among installers and contractors. Medium-capacity units ranging from 31 to 80 litres remain the standard specification for many residential and small commercial properties.
Tankless electric water heaters are expected to record the fastest growth, with an estimated CAGR of 9.85%. Adoption is being encouraged by tighter Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization energy performance requirements and Saudi Energy Efficiency Center programmes supporting efficient appliances. Tankless systems are also gaining traction in apartments and other developments where space limitations make conventional storage installations less practical.
Commercial-size electric water heaters represent another high-growth category. Amaala Phase One is expected to deliver 1,945 hotel rooms by 2027, while the Red Sea Project is preparing to accommodate millions of visitors by 2030. These developments require extensive water heating infrastructure for guestrooms, kitchens, laundries, leisure facilities and back-of-house operations. NEOM is also expected to support demand for connected, IoT-ready and demand-response-compatible water heating systems.
Saudi Arabia's climate and sustainability strategy are influencing product selection. High summer temperatures can reduce operating requirements, while the Kingdom's strong solar resources improve the commercial case for solar-electric hybrid water heating. At the same time, SEEC incentives and tighter 2025 SASO efficiency standards are raising minimum product performance requirements and encouraging developers to prioritise high-efficiency systems.
Renewable energy and grid investment are expected to provide additional market momentum. ACWA Power committed USD 250 billion through 2030 to renewable energy and water infrastructure in August 2025. In May 2025, Saudi Electricity Company reported a 23% revenue increase to SAR 19.5 billion alongside 23.4 GW of new capacity additions. These investments strengthen the outlook for grid-compatible electric water heaters across residential, hospitality and commercial projects.
Competition remains strong among international brands, including A. O. Smith, Ariston and Rheem, and Saudi manufacturers and distributors such as Saudi Ceramics, Orbital Horizon and Al Huraiz. International suppliers benefit from brand recognition and established distribution networks, while domestic participants compete through local availability, responsive service and competitive pricing.
Supply chain conditions could affect pricing in the near term. A. O. Smith announced global price increases of 6% to 9% and a production shift from China to Mexico in May 2025, potentially creating disruption for distributors reliant on China-origin products. By comparison, Ariston's Jeddah assembly operations provide a local supply chain advantage.
Market Outlook
The Saudi Arabia electric water heater market is positioned for sustained expansion as Vision 2030 transforms the Kingdom's housing, tourism and commercial landscape. Storage tank systems will remain the leading category, but tankless, hybrid and connected products are expected to capture a growing share as energy efficiency standards tighten. Suppliers offering efficient technology, local inventory, smart controls and strong after-sales support will be best positioned to benefit from Saudi Arabia's expanding electric water heater industry through 2035.
