Saudi Arabia's Ras Al-Khair plant produces over 1 million cubic meters of fresh water daily, reflecting a trend toward larger, more efficient facilities. The Middle East, hosting over 27% of global desalination facilities, plans to expand capacity by over 40% between 2024 and 2028, investing more than $25 billion.
