Middle East Engineering Plastics Market Trends
Growing investments from the government and private players
- In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is quickly emerging as one of the key markets for the electrical and electronics industry. Aside from the oil and gas industry, the country has a sizable consumer base and a broad range of industrial pursuits, contributing to the rapid annual increase in production for the electrical and electronics industry. Thus, electrical and electronics production in the region registered a CAGR of 18% from 2017 to 2019 in revenue terms.
- In 2020, the demand for consumer electronics for remote working and home entertainment increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, Saudi Arabia registered the highest smartphone penetration rate, around 97%, in the world, which enabled approximately 60% of Saudi customers to discover new sellers through social networks. Saudi Arabia faced a higher rate of e-commerce growth, nearly 60% (between 2019 and 2020), mainly due to the pandemic. The revenue from electrical and electronics production increased by 1.8% compared to the previous year.
- Electrical and electronic production is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.51% in value during the forecast period (2023-2029). The major driving component behind the growth is likely to be the growing investments from the government and the manufacturers like Samsung. Samsung has also been pitching its 5G wireless technology to the Middle East. Saudi Arabia implemented a 5G network in line with the Vision 2030 initiative. All such factors are expected to boost electronics production over the forecast period in the region.

- Resin - Under the scope of the study, consumption of virgin resins like Fluoropolymer, Polycarbonate, Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polybutylene Terephthalate, Polyoxymethylene, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Styrene Copolymers, Liquid Crystal Polymer, Polyether Ether Ketone, Polyimide, and Polyamide in the primary forms are considered. Recycling has been provided separately under its individual chapter.
Keyword | Definition |
---|---|
Acetal | This is a rigid material that has a slippery surface. It can easily withstand wear and tear in abusive work environments. This polymer is used for building applications such as gears, bearings, valve components, etc. |
Acrylic | This synthetic resin is a derivative of acrylic acid. It forms a smooth surface and is mainly used for various indoor applications. The material can also be used for outdoor applications with a special formulation. |
Cast film | A cast film is made by depositing a layer of plastic onto a surface then solidifying and removing the film from that surface. The plastic layer can be in molten form, in a solution, or in dispersion. |
Colorants & Pigments | Colorants & Pigments are additives used to change the color of the plastic. They can be a powder or a resin/color premix. |
Composite material | A composite material is a material that is produced from two or more constituent materials. These constituent materials have dissimilar chemical or physical properties and are merged to create a material with properties unlike the individual elements. |
Degree of Polymerization (DP) | The number of monomeric units in a macromolecule, polymer, or oligomer molecule is referred to as the degree of polymerization or DP. Plastics with useful physical properties often have DPs in the thousands. |
Dispersion | To create a suspension or solution of material in another substance, fine, agglomerated solid particles of one substance are dispersed in a liquid or another substance to form a dispersion. |
Fiberglass | Fiberglass-reinforced plastic is a material made up of glass fibers embedded in a resin matrix. These materials have high tensile and impact strength. Handrails and platforms are two examples of lightweight structural applications that use standard fiberglass. |
Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) | Fiber-reinforced polymer is a composite material made of a polymer matrix reinforced with fibers. The fibers are usually glass, carbon, aramid, or basalt. |
Flake | This is a dry, peeled-off piece, usually with an uneven surface, and is the base of cellulosic plastics. |
Fluoropolymers | This is a fluorocarbon-based polymer with multiple carbon-fluorine bonds. It is characterized by high resistance to solvents, acids, and bases. These materials are tough yet easy to machine. Some of the popular fluoropolymers are PTFE, ETFE, PVDF, PVF, etc. |
Kevlar | Kevlar is the commonly referred name for aramid fiber, which was initially a Dupont brand for aramid fiber. Any group of lightweight, heat-resistant, solid, synthetic, aromatic polyamide materials that are fashioned into fibers, filaments, or sheets is called aramid fiber. They are classified into Para-aramid and Meta-aramid. |
Laminate | A structure or surface composed of sequential layers of material bonded under pressure and heat to build up to the desired shape and width. |
Nylon | They are synthetic fiber-forming polyamides formed into yarns and monofilaments. These fibers possess excellent tensile strength, durability, and elasticity. They have high melting points and can resist chemicals and various liquids. |
PET preform | A preform is an intermediate product that is subsequently blown into a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle or a container. |
Plastic compounding | Compounding consists of preparing plastic formulations by mixing and/or blending polymers and additives in a molten state to achieve the desired characteristics. These blends are automatically dosed with fixed setpoints usually through feeders/hoppers. |
Plastic pellets | Plastic pellets, also known as pre-production pellets or nurdles, are the building blocks for nearly every product made of plastic. |
Polymerization | It is a chemical reaction of several monomer molecules to form polymer chains that form stable covalent bonds. |
Styrene Copolymers | A copolymer is a polymer derived from more than one species of monomer, and a styrene copolymer is a chain of polymers consisting of styrene and acrylate. |
Thermoplastics | Thermoplastics are defined as polymers that become soft material when it is heated and becomes hard when it is cooled. Thermoplastics have wide-ranging properties and can be remolded and recycled without affecting their physical properties. |
Virgin Plastic | It is a basic form of plastic that has never been used, processed, or developed. It may be considered more valuable than recycled or already used materials. |
