Kuwait’s manufacturing industry, contributing about one-tenth of the country’s GDP, focuses mainly on refined petroleum products, petrochemicals, and fertilizers. The success of Kuwait’s manufacturing is primarily driven by its vast oil reserves, significant natural gas resources, and effective desalination plants that address water scarcity. Kuwait benefits from a relatively low cost of oil production due to several unique advantages. The presence of highly productive wells allows for output variation at short notice, eliminating the need for large storage tanks.

With an integrated oil company and a robust petroleum industry, Kuwait has the infrastructure and resources to support its manufacturing sector. This stability and efficiency in the oil industry contribute to the growth and success of the pump business in Kuwait. Other, less-important manufactured products include clothing and apparel, fabricated metal products, industrial chemicals, and nonelectrical machinery.
