Report Description
The Middle-East & Africa thermoplastics market size was valued at USD XX Billion in 2022 and is likely to reach USD XX Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5% during 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to rising demand from numerous key end-user industries.
Thermoplastic refers to softening polymers that can mold above specific temperatures and solidify after cooling. The intermolecular chains in these polymers weaken rapidly under a certain temperature zone due to which they are applicable in various processing techniques such as injection molding and extrusion.
These plastics are used in numerous applications such as medical, electrical & electronics, construction, and electrical appliances. The thermoplastics are also employed in automotive vehicles, additive manufacturing, consumer goods, batteries, membrane & filtration, personal care product, and oil & gas industries.
The Covid-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the thermoplastics market. The production and supply in the market has been on halt owing to lockdown; however, the government’s steps and strategies have helped to neutralised the situation. This pandemic has encouraged the key players to implement advance technologies to overcome these challenges and expand the market growth.
Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
- Increasing demand for additive manufacturing in automotive and aerospace applications is among crucial factors propelling the thermoplastics market.
- Rising demand for unique designed thermoplastics in several end-use industries such as oil & gas to tolerate harsh conditions is expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
- Increasing demand for thermoplastics in the health care industry owing to its characteristics and applications are estimated to fuel the market in coming years.
- Fluctuation in prices and high production cost of raw materials are projected to impede the market during the forecast period.
- Stringent regulations for the production of polymer composites due to high release of carbon foot prints and environmental damage is likely to hinder the market
- R&D investment and technological advancement in the Middle-East & Africa thermoplastics market are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market players.

Market Segment insights
The engineering thermoplastics segment is projected to constitute a large market share
Based on product type, the thermoplastics market is segregated into commodity thermoplastics, engineering thermoplastics, high-performance engineering thermoplastics, and other product types. The engineering thermoplastics segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period owing to polyethylene terephthalate a by-product of engineering thermoplastics with numerous properties such as design flexibility, portability, light weight, ease of cleaning, and protection against moisture. Therefore, it is majorly used for packaging purposes.
The packaging segment is expected to register a substantial CAGR
Based on end user industry, the thermoplastics market is divided into packaging, building and construction, automotive and transportation, electrical and electronics, sports and leisure, furniture and bedding, agriculture, medical, and other end-user industries. The packaging segment accounts for a key share of the market and is estimated to propel even further over the forecast period owing to application of engineering plastics in the packaging segment, with better wear and chemical resistance, recyclability, ease of molding, puncture resistance, and high mechanical strength; however automotive and transportation segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to the lightweight benefits, high stiffness, and excellent heat resistance properties of thermoplastics.
Saudi Arabia is expected to dominate the market
In terms of geography, the market is broadly classified into Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, South Africa, and Rest of Middle-East and Africa. The market in Saudi Arabia is anticipated to expand at a robust CAGR during the forecast period. The government initiatives such as reforming economic policies, investments in diversified sectors, and attract private investments in the country, to make it a diversified economy that is not dependent on oil is expected to drive the market growth in near future.
