Saudi Arabia, Southeast Asia, and Other Regional Demand Drive Surge in Chinese Steel Exports


Saudi Arabia is a Key Market

According to Chinese customs data, in the first nine months of 2025, China's steel exports to Saudi Arabia reached 4.8 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 41%. Royal Group steel plates are a major contributor, providing high-quality products for construction and industrial projects across Saudi Arabia.

Long Products, Semi-finished Steel Products, and Royal Group Carbon Steel Plates Drive Growth

Compared to the previous year, China's exports of long products to Saudi Arabia have nearly doubled, while exports of semi-finished steel products have increased more than sixfold. Royal Group steel plates are renowned for their durability and high precision, and are increasingly favored in infrastructure projects. However, the sustainability of market demand remains uncertain as Saudi Arabia shifts its focus from the $500 billion "Cities of the Future" project to other strategic initiatives.

Strong Growth in Southeast Asia

Chinese steel exports, including those from Royal Group, also saw strong growth in the Southeast Asian market. Exports to the Philippines increased by 32.5%, to Indonesia by 27.5%, and to Thailand by 26.8%, reflecting robust regional demand driven by infrastructure and industrial development.

Market Outlook

Given the strong demand for Chinese steel in Saudi Arabia and Southeast Asia, Royal Group will continue to expand its market position, providing reliable steel plate solutions for large-scale projects. While some large projects are facing delays, the overall trend indicates continued growth opportunities for Chinese steel manufacturers and Royal Group through 2025.
