Middle-East and Africa Engineering Plastics Market Size Summary

The Middle-East and Africa engineering plastics market is poised for significant growth, driven by increasing purchasing power and the shift from traditional materials to engineering plastics. The market is experiencing a surge in demand due to the introduction of green vehicles, which presents new opportunities for growth. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a key material in this sector, known for its excellent properties that make it a preferred choice for replacing metals in various applications, including motor housings and electrical components. Its recyclability, strength, and versatility make it a popular choice in the plastic packaging industry, where it is used for a wide range of products such as take-out containers, carbonated drinks, and bottled water. The demand for PET is expected to rise, particularly in beverage packaging, due to its superior barrier properties that help preserve product quality.

Saudi Arabia stands out as the largest producer of engineering plastics in the region, with its expanding healthcare and packaging sectors driving demand. The country's healthcare industry, with its significant expenditure and privatization efforts, is expected to boost the demand for healthcare equipment, thereby increasing the need for engineering plastics. Additionally, the rapid growth of the packaging sector, fueled by innovations catering to the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, further supports market expansion. The construction of hotels and public infrastructure, driven by government initiatives like Saudi Arabia Vision 2030 and events such as the Dubai Expo 2020, also contributes to the rising consumption of engineering plastics. The market is characterized by a fragmented landscape with key players including BASF SE, SABIC, Solvay, Covestro AG, and DuPont, all contributing to the competitive dynamics of the region.
