Market Share of Egypt Plastic Packaging Industry
The Egyptian plastic packaging market is semi-consolidated with the presence of a few major players. Some participants benefit from the enhanced market reputation and broader regional presence. The major players with a sizable market share, such as Amcor PLC, Huhtamaki Oyj, Rotografia Group, Uflex Limited, and ALPLA Group, are concentrating on expanding their customer base throughout the end-user industries. Some of the firms collaborate and innovate new products through mergers or acquisitions.
- November 2023 - Amcor PLC, one of the global companies operating across various countries, including Egypt, announced a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with polyethylene producer NOVA Chemicals Corporation for purchasing mechanically recycled polyethylene resin (rPE) for use in flexible packaging films. Increasing the use of rPE in flexible packaging applications is a critical element of Amcor's responsibility to support packaging circularity.
- January 2024 - Flex P. Films, a step-down subsidiary, initiated the commercial operations of a PET consumer recycling plant in Egypt under the banner of Flex P. Films (Egypt) SAE. This new plant, with an annual capacity of 18,000 MT, focuses on post-consumer recycling (PCR). Through advanced mechanical recycling techniques, the subsidiary aims to transform post-consumer PET bottles into recycled (rPET) PET flakes and pellets. This process involves sorting, washing, drying, and grinding the PET bottles to create the necessary flakes and pellets for PET film production.
