• The Saudi Arabian pouch packaging market is witnessing a surge, driven by the escalating demand for versatile and convenient packaging solutions across industries like cosmetics, food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. This surge is further fueled by shifting consumer preferences toward single-use packages, making pouches a favored choice.
• Standard pouches, known for their compactness, lightness, and resealability, are gaining traction. This is especially evident in the Saudi Arabian food industry, where rising per-capita incomes and an increasing female workforce boost the consumption of packaged, processed, and ready-to-eat meals.
• Moreover, the rise of food delivery services and the rapid proliferation of cloud kitchens in Saudi Arabia amplify the demand for standard pouch packaging solutions. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), the influx of expatriates in Saudi Arabia drives a need for diverse and healthy online food options, consequently elevating the demand for food packaging that ensures prolonged freshness and barrier protection.
• The Saudi Arabian cosmetic industry is on an upward trajectory, buoyed by a heightened consumer emphasis on personal grooming and a surge in spending on makeup, skincare, and hair care products. This, in turn, is boosting the demand for pouch packaging. Additionally, the rising preference for smaller packaging formats for makeup and skincare products is further bolstering the demand for pouch packaging in the country.
• However, the packaging industry faces challenges due to fluctuating raw material prices, especially for plastics and paper, driven by demand-supply dynamics. The heightened demand for plastics in the Saudi Arabian packaging sector directly influences the prices, subsequently impacting the production costs of pouch packaging solutions.
