Thus, several hotel groups like Radisson Blu, W Hospitality Group, etc., are expanding their hotels, boosting the need for building & construction materials. For instance,

  • In 2023, the hotel group Radisson Blu announced its plans to construct more than 7 hotels in the country as a part of its market expansion plans.

This surge in the construction of hotels & resorts is facilitating requirements for paints, coatings, sealants, etc., hence, driving the Middle East & African aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market.

The Middle East & Africa Aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market Opportunity:

Growing Government Investment in the Automotive Industry to Boost the Demand for Aliphatic Polyester Polyols– Over the years, the Middle East & African nations depended on imports from Japanese & European car manufacturers to cater to the growing demand for automotive vehicles like passenger cars, light trucks, heavy commercial vehicles, etc. Therefore, to minimize the reliance on imports & strengthen its automotive sector, the governments of nations like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, etc., are laying out initiatives & investing heavily to set up new manufacturing units in the Middle Eastern and African countries. For instance,

  • In 2022, the M Glory Holding Group announced the opening of its new Electric Vehicle manufacturing unit in the UAE.

This increasing establishment of automotive manufacturing units in the Middle Eastern & African countries is augmenting the demand for automotive paints and aliphatic Polyester Polyols.

Moreover, the increasing government focus on sustainable transportation as a part of the climate change program is facilitating the set-up of new electric vehicle manufacturing units. Therefore, the set-up of new units would uplift the Middle East & Africa Aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market in the foreseen years.

The Middle East & Africa Aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market Challenge:

Unavailability of Raw Materials & High Production Costs Hinder the Market Growth – Aliphatic Polyester Polyols are manufactured using different production methods like esterification, Ring-Opening Polymerization, etc., which require an extensive range of raw materials. The Middle East & African countries rely on Asia-Pacific countries like India, China, etc., for the raw materials & feedstock. As a result, the prices of those raw materials are highly volatile & are prone to fluctuation based on their prices in the International Market. The different charges like custom duties and other taxes applied on the raw material trade make them more expensive, as a result, the end-users like paint & coatings companies tend to use alternatives in place of the Aliphatic polyester polyols, thereby limiting their market.

Further, the availability of alternative options like aromatic polyester polyols, polyether polyols, and bio-based polyols at relatively lower prices is facilitating the end-users to switch to these solutions, hindering the Middle East & Africa Aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market.

The Middle East & Africa Aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market Trend:

Rising Inclination Towards E-Commerce Amplifying the Requirement for Flexible Packaging Materials– In recent years, internet penetration in the Middle Eastern countries like Kuwait, Bahrain, etc., has significantly increased due to the increasing government investments in digital infrastructure upgradation. According to the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology Egpyt, in 2023 active internet users in the country have increased by about 1.4 million. The improved connectivity & easy access to the internet in these nations have led to the emergence of several e-commerce platforms in the country. For instance,

  • In 2022, the online shopping platform Kemitt announced to launch of its Business to Business (B2B) platform to diversify its offerings in Egypt.

 In addition, the rising inclination of consumers towards online shopping due to the advantages it offers over traditional shopping & changing consumer behavior is leading to the surge in online shopping. This significant rise in online shopping is increasing the requirement for plastic packaging materials to ensure the safe packaging of deliverables. Thus, the rising need for packaging material is leading to a healthy growth for the Aliphatic Polyester Polyols Market.
