The region’s expanding food & beverage sector, coupled with rising urbanization and disposable incomes, is fueling demand for PET-based bottles, containers, and thermoformed trays, particularly due to their lightweight, durability, and recyclability. In addition, stringent product regulations and corporate sustainability commitments are accelerating the shift toward recycled PET (rPET), supported by advancements in catalyst technologies that enhance polymerization efficiency and material quality. The MEA region’s strategic investments in petrochemical infrastructure, particularly in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and South Africa, further bolster PET production capacity, while growing consumer preference for transparent, tamper-proof packaging strengthens PET’s dominance over alternatives like PVC and PP.
