SABIC is one of the world's largest petrochemical companies, majority-owned by Saudi Aramco since 2020, with revenues of approximately $35 billion in 2025. Headquartered in Riyadh and operating across chemicals, polymers, agri-nutrients, and metals, SABIC has realized $2.57 billion in cumulative synergy value from the Aramco acquisition to date. The company is pursuing a significant strategic evolution — exploring the sale of its European petrochemical business as high energy costs make European commodity production structurally uncompetitive, while simultaneously advancing a $6.4 billion petrochemical joint venture in Fujian, China. SABIC operates 21 technology and innovation centers worldwide and serves over 140 countries, with particular strength in specialty plastics, industrial chemicals, and agricultural nutrients.
