Saudi Arabia has one of the largest e-commerce markets in the Middle East. With the increasing demand for packaging, the consumption of PET resins from end-user industries will likely increase in the region during the forecast period.
  • The demand for PET resin from the United Arab Emirates is increasing significantly due to the growing packaging, electrical and electronics, and other end-user industries. The surging demand for technologically advanced consumer electronics and appliances, such as smartphones, laptops, computers, cameras, and televisions, is expected to boost the demand for PET resins in the country in the future. Consumer electronics in the country are projected to reach a market volume of around USD 2.5 billion in 2027 from USD 1.8 billion in 2023.

Middle East Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Market Trends

Growing investments from the government and private players

  • In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is quickly emerging as one of the key markets for the electrical and electronics industry. Aside from the oil and gas industry, the country has a sizable consumer base and a broad range of industrial pursuits, contributing to the rapid annual increase in production for the electrical and electronics industry. Thus, electrical and electronics production in the region registered a CAGR of 18% from 2017 to 2019 in revenue terms.
  • In 2020, the demand for consumer electronics for remote working and home entertainment increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, Saudi Arabia registered the highest smartphone penetration rate, around 97%, in the world, which enabled approximately 60% of Saudi customers to discover new sellers through social networks. Saudi Arabia faced a higher rate of e-commerce growth, nearly 60% (between 2019 and 2020), mainly due to the pandemic. The revenue from electrical and electronics production increased by 1.8% compared to the previous year.
  • Electrical and electronic production is expected to witness a CAGR of 8.51% in value during the forecast period (2023-2029). The major driving component behind the growth is likely to be the growing investments from the government and the manufacturers like Samsung. Samsung has also been pitching its 5G wireless technology to the Middle East. Saudi Arabia implemented a 5G network in line with the Vision 2030 initiative. All such factors are expected to boost electronics production over the forecast period in the region.
