Abstract |
: |
The current era and global dependence have pursued sustainable development in the industry of petrochemical polymers and technical fabric, as they contribute to the development of civil and economic progress of nations.
The Saudi petrochemical and plastic industries have shown increasing growth rates in recent years, and the country's production of industrial polymers is projected to increase in the coming years, being an industry that has been highlighted by the Kingdom’s development plans and its future vision 2030 for its prominence over other industries, in terms of volume of exports and investments.
The technical textile industry is considered a promising and growing sector in the Saudi market, as it avails investment opportunities in the sector of petrochemical-based products, and achieves the goal of diversifying sources of national income away from dependence on crude oil, with crude oil’s revenues instead be invested in the industrial development.
The current study explores the industrial environment of petrochemicals and technical textile, as well as its future orientation and substantiality in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, linking the abundant availability of synthetic polymer, as a "national wealth", with its importance in the development of technical textile industry
The study has utilized the descriptive analytical method, using face-to-face interviews with staff of three specialized categories, including petrochemical factories, technical textile factories, and investors in clothes and textile manufacturing and trade. The main industrial areas in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia included the central region, the eastern region, and the western region.
The most important findings of this study have pointed out that abundant availability of raw polymers in the Kingdom contributes to accelerating the manufacturing process of technical textile, and that the quality of Saudi polymers conforms to the standards of international specifications and achieves global sustainability. In addition, the findings indicated that the Kingdom has natural and economic environment favorable to the technical textile industry as this industry relies on cutting-edge technology that eliminated the need to hire great number of technicians, and is run by thermal processes instead of overused water, as an alternative to preserve the water wealth.
The study encourages the industrial sector (both governmental and private) to take advantage of the presence of crude national petrochemical polymers, and to invest in the development of technical textile products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. |
