The MENA Thermoformed Plastic Packaging Market was valued at USD 2601.2 Million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 5.88% during the forecast period (2023-2030) owing to the increasing governmental focus on environmental sustainability and stringent regulations promoting eco-friendly packaging.
In addition, the surge in the adoption of thermoformed plastic packaging improves supply chain efficiency and reduces overall environmental footprint. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has a Total Ecological Footprint (TEF) of 11.9 global hectares per person, significantly higher than the world average of 1.8 global hectares per person. Turkey and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia also have very large footprints — 7.6 and 4.6 global ha/person respectively. Therefore, the demand for thermoformed plastic packaging solutions has surged across various industries in the region due to the developing acceptance of biodegradable and compostable packaging solutions.
Some of the major players operating in Amcor PLC, Alpla Werke Alwin Lehner Gmbh and Co KG, Hotpack Packaging Industries LLC, Cristal Plastic Industrial LLC, Arabian Plastics Industrial Company Limited, Nuplas Industries, Sonoco Products Company, Berry Global Group Inc, Napco National, Interplast. Several M&As along with partnerships have been undertaken by these players to facilitate customers with hi-tech and innovative products/technologies.

Based on the raw material, packaging type, and end-use industry, the market is segmented into offices, residential, hotels, retail, industrial and logistics, and others. Residential segment held a significant share of the market in 2022. Due to population expansion and changing living preferences, there has been a rising demand for residential properties across various cities throughout the Middle East over recent years. In cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Doha, high-end gated communities offering modern amenities are becoming increasingly preferred by locals seeking comfortable homes and expats looking for quality housing options. This surging interest in residential properties has prompted developers to focus more on delivering family-friendly environments with recreational facilities rather than solely targeting commercial ventures.
Amongst packaging types, the market is segmented into trays and containers, clamshells, cups and lids and others. Trays and containers held a significant share of the market in 2022.”
Based on packaging type, the market is segmented into trays and containers, clamshells, cups and lids and others. Trays and containers held a significant share of the market in 2022. These trays provide a robust and customizable packaging solution for efficiently organizing and transporting an array of products. Their lightweight nature translates to reduced shipping costs, while the ability to design trays with compartments enhances product organization and minimizes the risk of damage during transit. Thermoform plastic trays are finding utility in electronic components packaging, automotive parts distribution, and various retail displays.
“Turkey dominated the market.”
The Thermoform Plastic packaging market in Turkey held the largest share in 2022. Turkey has witnessed a surge in regulatory initiatives aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting eco-friendly practices. The “Zero Waste” regulation, introduced in 2017, set ambitious targets for waste reduction and emphasized the importance of thermoformed plastic packaging in achieving these goals. As per the CMS Legal, in January 2024, the National Action Plan for Waste Management 2023 provides for the disposal of 35% of waste through recycling and 65% through regular storage by 2023. Moreover, the growing consumer awareness, coupled with an expanding e-commerce sector and government incentives for thermoformed plastic practices, propels the demand for eco-friendly packaging solutions in Turkey. However, the country’s strategic geographical location, acting as a bridge between East and West, enhances its potential as a regional hub for thermoformed plastic packaging innovation.
