Saudi Arabia PET Packaging Market Overview:

The Saudi Arabia PET packaging market size reached USD 756.4 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 1,090.65 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.15% during 2025-2033. Rising demand in food and beverage sectors, increasing urbanization, growing consumer preference for lightweight and recyclable materials, government initiatives for sustainability, and expansion in pharmaceutical and personal care industries, boosting packaging innovation and PET usage across sectors, are some of the factors contributing to the market growth.

Saudi Arabia PET Packaging Market Trends:

Expansion of Local Manufacturing Capacity

The PET packaging sector in Saudi Arabia is experiencing a shift toward localized production, with significant investments being made in advanced molding facilities. New setups are incorporating blow molding and injection molding technologies to cater to rising domestic demand. These facilities are enhancing self-sufficiency in PET-based packaging products, reducing reliance on imports. The expansion also reflects broader industrial goals focused on scaling up plastics manufacturing and integrating modern production lines tailored for packaging applications. These factors are intensifying the PET packaging market growth. For example, in June 2024, APICO inaugurated a new factory in Al-Kharj Industrial City, marking a key expansion milestone. The facility spans 34,000 square meters and includes advanced blow molding and injection molding lines. As part of its growth plan, APICO confirmed the addition of PET product manufacturing, supporting the domestic PET packaging supply in Saudi Arabia and reinforcing its capabilities in plastics production.

Strengthening rPET Export Capabilities

Based on the PET packaging market outlook, Saudi Arabia is stepping up as a competitive supplier of hot-washed recycled PET flakes to international packaging manufacturers. With rising global demand for sustainable packaging inputs, local recycling operations are gaining momentum, supported by national sustainability objectives and circular economy goals. The focus on producing export-grade recycled materials is driving improvements in quality standards and positioning domestic recyclers as credible contributors to global supply chains. This shift not only enhances the country’s recycling capacity but also builds a foundation for broader industrial participation in environmentally responsible packaging solutions, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s role in the evolving global movement toward resource efficiency and reduced plastic waste. For instance, in January 2024, MASAB, a joint venture of the Saudi Investment Recycling Company, exported hot-washed recycled PET flakes to a leading UK bottle manufacturer. This followed earlier shipments to Spain, totaling over 1,650 tons. The initiative supports Saudi Arabia’s PET recycling capabilities and aligns with national sustainability goals by advancing local industry participation in global recycled PET packaging supply chains.
