Middle East Industrial Packaging Market To Reach $13.38 Billion By 2030

Middle East Industrial Packaging Market Growth & Trends

The Middle East industrial packaging market size is expected to reach USD 13.38 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 6.6% over the forecast period 2025 to 2030. The growth of key industrial sectors such as oil & gas, chemicals, and construction is a significant driver of the industrial packaging market in the Middle East. These industries require durable and specialized packaging solutions to ensure the safe storage and transportation of goods such as chemicals, lubricants, and construction materials. For instance, in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, the rise in petrochemical production has increased the demand for high-strength drums, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), and other forms of rigid industrial packaging that can handle hazardous materials while complying with international safety standards.

Another critical factor is the expansion of the region’s export-oriented economy, especially in sectors like food & beverages and pharmaceuticals. Countries such as the UAE, with their well-developed logistics infrastructure and free trade zones, are increasingly exporting packaged goods to Europe, Africa, and Asia. This has led to a surge in demand for flexible industrial packaging solutions, such as bulk sacks, to efficiently transport food products and pharmaceutical raw materials.

The expansion of regional trade and logistics infrastructure is also fueling growth in the industrial packaging sector. Major ports such as Jebel Ali in Dubai and King Abdullah Port in Saudi Arabia handle millions of containers annually, necessitating robust packaging solutions for both imports and exports. Additionally, the rise of e-commerce and the establishment of regional distribution centers have created new demands for industrial packaging that can withstand long-distance transportation and varying climate conditions. Many companies are now investing in advanced packaging technologies, such as modified atmosphere packaging and smart packaging solutions with tracking capabilities, to meet these evolving needs while complying with international safety and quality standards.
