MEA Glass Bottles & Containers Market Analysis

Pharmaceutical companies in Saudi Arabia are actively investing in their manufacturing expansion to meet the growing demand and new Saudi law that requires a proportion of manufacturing in the country; for instance, Pfizer Saudi invested over USD 50 million for a solid dose manufacturing facility for production and packaging, thereby driving the demand for glass bottles and containers in the sector.
- Since the past few years, the region has witnessed growing focus in the glass bottles and containers market via the setting up of new plants, the entry of new players via government funding, and the expansion of existing capacities. For instance, the Qatar Industrial Manufacturing Company announced its plans towards investing 50% capital for the setting up of the Gulf Glass Factory.
- In recent years, South Africa has become one of the largest container glass producers and consumers on the African continent. Two container glass producers, who operate five container glass plants, account for the entire production of container glass products in the country. The South African glass bottles and containers market is highly competitive, and the players who are failing to streamline their operations are exiting the business. Nampak, a South Africa-based diversified packaging manufacturer, has been forced to sell its glass business due to high fixed costs and expenditures, leading to inadequate financial returns. It was sold to Isanti Glass (owned by Kwande Capital) for ZAR 1.5 billion.
- The impact of COVID-19 on glass bottle manufacturing has been depicted as an indirect linkage towards an important business that has been allowed to function.The Ethiopian glass container manufacturer, Addis Ababa Glass and Bottle Share Company, overlooks the capacity expansions. Additionally, amidst coronavirus, the South African area sought stringent measures, such as halting all alcohol production in the country by the concerned authorities to counter the spread of COVID-19. Besides, Fitch, a credit rating agency, has estimated that the Coronavirus outbreak will negatively impact the short-term growth across sub-Saharan African areas, particularly in Ghana, Angola, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Zambia, South Africa, Gabon, and Nigeria. This is due to such countries having close export relations with China.
