About packaging and packaging market in MENA

Packaging plays a significant role in the transportation, warehousing, logistics, sales, and end use of a product. It provides adequate support, protection, and tampering resistance to the product. It is also used as a means of attracting customers’ attention to the product. Vendors use sustainable, renewable, and recyclable raw materials, such as paper, rigid plastic, metal, glass, and flexible materials, to manufacture packaging materials.

However, there are some demographic trends that have positively affected the packaging market in MENA. Urbanization and change in consumer lifestyles, for example, have propelled the demand for packaging solutions that are light in weight and have greater visual appeal. The market has also witnessed a considerable shift in the purchasing patterns of customers, with customers demanding more flexible packaging solutions over rigid packing. Growing demand for dairy products, which has led to an increase in dairy products packaging, has also fueled the growth of the market.
