Packaging Industry in Saudi Arabia Size Summary

The packaging industry in Saudi Arabia is experiencing moderate growth, driven by urbanization, changing demographics, and evolving consumer patterns. The demand for packaging materials is influenced by shifts in income patterns and disposable income levels. As industries expand and urban areas grow, the need for packaging solutions has increased. The availability of raw materials further supports this demand. The government's efforts to diversify the economy away from oil and gas revenues have led to a focus on developing other sectors, which in turn boosts the packaging industry. Plastic packaging remains prevalent across various industries, including healthcare, due to its durability and long shelf-life. However, environmental concerns have prompted a shift towards paper and paperboard alternatives, which are seen as more sustainable options.

Government initiatives aimed at reducing plastic usage have encouraged the adoption of recyclable materials like paper and paperboard in packaging. This shift is supported by the existing use of these materials in the food and beverage sector, facilitating consumer acceptance. The government's economic diversification policies and foreign investment incentives have positively impacted the market, with the retail sector expected to see significant growth. The packaging industry is characterized by a fragmented market with numerous regional and international players, leading to competitive pricing and strategic advantages. Recent regulatory changes and corporate mergers, such as the Amcor and Bemis combination, highlight ongoing developments in the industry, with companies exploring new packaging solutions and market expansions.
