Middle-East and Africa Thermoplastics Market Size Summary
The Middle-East and Africa thermoplastics market is poised for significant growth, driven by increasing demand from key end-user industries. The packaging sector emerges as the largest application segment, with engineering plastics like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyamide being extensively used due to their favorable properties such as chemical resistance, recyclability, and mechanical strength. These materials are particularly favored in the food and beverage industry for packaging applications, including bottled water, flexible packaging, and more. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the market is expected to maintain a steady demand, supported by the rising need for packaging materials in both household and commercial sectors.
Saudi Arabia stands out as a dominant player in the region's thermoplastics market, with efforts to diversify its economy beyond oil dependency. The country's strategic initiatives, such as attracting original equipment manufacturers to establish production facilities, are aimed at bolstering its automotive industry. Additionally, the electronics market in Saudi Arabia presents growth potential, driven by a burgeoning population and increasing demand for electronic goods. Government and private sector investments are expected to further stimulate industrial and commercial construction activities, thereby enhancing the demand for thermoplastics. The market is consolidated, with major players like SABIC, LyondellBasell Industries Holdings B.V., Solvay, LANXESS, and Evonik Industries AG holding significant market shares.
