The bottles are safe, robust, and lightweight, which qualifies them to package all forms of drinks. The added convenience factor, in combination with physical activity, is making the packaged drinking market grow and, as an extension, causing the demand for PET bottles to rise. For instance, Saudi Arabia in 2024 converted nearly 3 million tons of waste plastic annually into refuse-derived fuels, a government deal revealed that helped to improve the country's waste management. The project is expected to cut carbon emissions by nearly 1.8 billion tons annually. Secondly, Saudi Arabia is also looking towards green packaging options. Companies and consumers are going green, which is driving the adoption of green practices. This involves the utilization of increased recycled PET bottles, which can be recycled multiple times and are eco-friendly.

For instance, according to the International Bottled Water Association, plastic constitutes around 80% of the bottles in which bottled water is packaged; 90% of that plastic consists of polyethylene terephthalate, thus directly increasing market demand. The vast majority of beverage companies have emphasized sustainability through the initiation of practices that encourage green packaging for the reduction of waste and the enhancement of recycling activities. Thus, the promotion of plastic waste reduction and recycling in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia will increase the demand for eco-friendly PET bottles. This also propels the market demand for the bottles in the country.

Saudi Arabia Pet Bottle Market Challenge:

Fluctuations in the Cost of Production – Drastic fluctuations in the price of PET bottle manufacturing depend mostly on the petrochemicals employed during production. For example, scrap PET bottles, on average, rose in price from USD 48.5 to USD 52.4 per kilogram recently. Prices are determined by several factors. Seasonal variation is another significant factor. There is an apparent decrease in the consumption of PET-based consumer goods during winter. This automatically curtails the supply of scrap PET bottles. At the same time, the demand for fiber obtained by recycling PET plastic is growing even more.

Moreover, the production cost of PET bottles directly depends on the crude oil price. Crude oil is one major raw material in the petrochemical industry. A fluctuation in the crude oil price sends ripples through the supply chain and thereby impacts the overall cost of PET bottle production.

Saudi Arabia Pet Bottle Market Trend:

Creative and Functional Bottle Designs – Aesthetic and functional bottle shapes are among the major trends in the PET bottle industry as customers look for bottles with appealing and beautiful appearances over and above the product. These incorporate creative elements like ergonomic form, caps that are easy to use, and sleek shapes that make their overall appearance. Innovative bottle design is winning consumers over, and Distilleries are employing unique shapes and dramatic labelling to get their brands noticed on store shelves. Not only are these designs indicative of creativity but also of the brand values and messages, with which an emotional bond is established between the consumer and the brand. For instance, certain bottles now come with built-in pour spouts or measuring caps for greater convenience for users and to minimize spillage. Others include smart packaging innovations such as NFC tags or QR codes, giving consumers the ability to view extensive product information.

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority has been striving to enhance the safety and design quality of food packaging, such that the bottles are not only good but also safe for consumption.
