MENA Industrial Packaging Market

By the year 2023, the industrial packaging market in the MENA region is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 4.8 billion. The implementation of packaging automation technologies further enhances the potential of this market, fostering a trajectory of growth with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0% from 2023 to 2033. This upward trend is expected to culminate in a total market value of approximately US$ 9.4 billion by 2033. These advancements underscore a significant evolution in the industrial packaging landscape, indicating substantial opportunities for innovation and expansion within the MENA region over the next decade.

The MENA region is witnessing a significant shift towards automation in industrial packaging processes, driven by several factors. One of the key drivers is the need to improve packaging efficiency and productivity. Automation allows for faster and more precise packaging operations, reducing the time required for packaging tasks and increasing overall throughput, which enables companies to meet growing customer demands and optimize their production capacity.

South Africa is poised to drive the MENA industrial packaging market by virtue of its expanding industrial sector, projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.9%. As per the International Energy Agency, the substantial emissions from upstream oil and gas operations indicate a thriving oil industry in South Africa, leading to increased demand for MENA industrial packaging. This is particularly significant as South Africa’s crude oil production reached 448.0 TJ units in 2020. As the oil sector flourishes, the need for secure and efficient packaging solutions will surge, benefiting the MENA industrial packaging market. South Africa’s industrial growth, coupled with its expanding oil industry, will be a key catalyst for market expansion.
