Saudi Arabia Flower and Ornamental Plants Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Several key factors influence the Saudi market for flowers and decorative plants. For starters, as the country's urbanization and income have grown, so has people's desire for attractive plants and flowers in their homes and public spaces. The government's plans to encourage landscaping and greenery as components of urban development projects have also contributed to the market's expansion. The increasing popularity of social gatherings and weddings, which typically involve floral décor, has further supported the industry's growth.
However, the market is confronted with a variety of difficulties. Saudi Arabia's hard environment, which is typified by high temperatures and arid conditions, is a big impediment because it can be harmful to many decorative plant species.
