MEA Plastic Bottles and Containers Market Share

Market Share of MEA Plastic Bottles and Containers Industry

The Plastic Bottles and Containers Market is fragmented in nature. Some of the major players are Amcor PLC, Graham Packaging Company, Plastipak Holdings Inc., ALPLA Group, among others. Factors, such as the increasing demand for food and beverages will provide considerable growth opportunities in the plastic bottles market. Therefore, many companies are seeing this market as an emerging market. Some of the recent developments are:

• December 2020 - Amcor PLC, partnered with thirty-five leading companies in the consumer goods industry, in order to reduce plastic waste. Amcor and its partners in this coalition - which have a collective turnover of EUR 1 trillion are enforcing two new design rules to deliver packaging that is easier and more cost-effective to recycle. The first design rule is expected to improve the economic viability of PET bottle recycling by removing colouring pigments and labelling that impact recycling rates. The second design rule will remove materials that are problematic for recyclers from all forms of plastic packaging.
• July 2020 - Alpha Packaging launched more than a dozen new 2-stage (reheat and blow) molds for its most popular narrow-neck polyethylene terephthalate (PET) items. The duplication of Alpha's industry-leading single-stage PET portfolio to the 2-stage process added substantial capacity via a more efficient blow-molding process, and allowed Alpha to respond rapidly to unparalleled demand for hand sanitizer packaging in the era of COVID-19.
• February 2020 - Agthia Group PJSC, launched Al Ain Plant Bottle, the region's first plant-based water bottle, at Gulfood 2020 during UAE Innovation Month, in the presence of H.E. Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Climate Change and Environment. An MoU was also signed between Agthia and Veolia, a global leader in optimized resource management, to launch a PET water bottles collection initiative in the UAE.
