[Report Description]

The Middle East and Africa Glass Packaging Market are expected to register a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period 2021-2026. The impact of COVID-19 on glass has been depicted as an indirect linkage towards an essential 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. ​



Key Highlights


  • An increasing trend of transparency in food packaging over the past few years has been observed. This puts growing preference for glass as a material for packaging, being least opaque. Water is an emerging segment aligned with an increasing need for transparent glass containers with minimalist labeling. Multiple brands across the Middle Eastern region have depicted transitioning to glass to package water. For instance, in April 2021, Earth Water launched its natural mineral water lineup in glass bottles across UAE. And PepsiCo launched Aquafina water in Expo 2020 Dubai-cobranded, as fully recyclable glass bottles, to promote a sustainable way to drink water.

  • In March 2021, a new factory in Abu Dhabi will start manufacturing a COVID-19 vaccine from Chinese pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm under a joint venture between Sinopharm and Abu Dhabi-based technology company Group 42 (G42). The plant, built in the Khalifa Industrial Zone of Abu Dhabi (KIZAD), will have a production capacity of 200 million doses a year with three filling lines and five automated packaging lines. Similar expansion trends and investments are expected to demand glass packaging solutions in the regional pharmaceutical industry significantly.

  • The policies against plastic for packaging are also creating new opportunities for the glass bottles and containers market. In February 2021, Kenya signed the Clean Seas Initiative and became one of the first countries in East Africa to limit single-use plastics. Also, as of June 2020, visitors to Kenya s national parks, beaches, forests, and conservation areas can no longer carry plastic water bottles, cups, disposable plates, cutlery, or straws into protected areas.

  • According to International Finance Corporation (IFC), officials are considering promoting more local production from private pharma companies that produce generic medications and companies that manufacture active pharmaceutical ingredients or APIs (the primary components in the manufacture of drugs. At the country level, Ethiopia s National Strategy and Plan of Action for Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Development (2015-2025) also catalyzes pharmaceutical production in the country. ​



Key Market Trends



Beverages to hold Major Market Share




  • The market for glass packaging in the alcoholic beverage industry faces intense competition from the metal packaging segment in the form of cans. However, it is expected to maintain its share during the forecast period due to its usage of premium products. The growth is expected across different beverage products, like juices, coffee, tea, soups, non-dairy beverages, and others.

  • Multiple initiatives that drove investments from local beer manufacturers are expected to drive the demand for glass bottle packaging further. For instance, in October 2021, Heineken approached Nambian Breweries to purchase a 25% stake to establish a joint venture for Heineken South Africa. The venture is expected to help NBL reduce loss-making investments (attributed to losses of NAD 339 million) that were attributable from the past five years. This is expected to increase beer exports and beer production volume in the region.

  • International retailers have increased options for South African wines due to poor harvest in wineries across New Zealand and challenging storage of wines. This has shifted the focus of various retailers to increase options for wines from South Africa. ​

  • For instance, in October 2021, Majestic, a UK online retailer for wine, added a new set of wine options for buyers, including Lone Creek Sauvignon Blanc 2021 and Boekenhoutskloof Vintager Sauvignon Blanc from Cape Town, and Pringle Bay Sauvignon Blanc 2021 from Western Cape. Also, with the price range being low ( GBP 10-11 per bottle), the retailers expect greater sales of South African wines.



United Arab Emirates market is Expected to Grow Significantly




  • Most major research-based pharma firms have a long-standing presence in the country, either through contract manufacturing or local distribution channels, which creates a market opportunity for container glass manufacturers. Leading multinationals, such as Pfizer, Novartis, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Merck, Abbvie, Eli Lily, Bayer, AstraZeneca, Sanofi, BMS, and Amgen, have a presence in the domestic market.​

  • The IQVIA projected that pharmaceutical sales in the country are likely to reach USD 51 billion by 2024. Moreover, the increased awareness about the established benefits of using glass packaging for pharmaceutical products and healthcare facilities is driving the pharmaceutical glass packaging segment.​

  • In May 2021, PepsiCo launched Aquafina aluminum cans and glass bottles, their infinitely recyclable characteristic offering for UAE residents. The innovation is in line with the commitment of PepsiCo, Expo 2020 Dubai s Official Beverage and Snack Partner, to collect and recycle PepsiCo waste generated on Expo 2020 Dubai s site during the six-month global gathering, accelerating efforts to reduce, recycle and reinvent better and more sustainable packaging.

  • In January 2021, the UAE-based perfumer, Salva, revealed its new fragrance, Hope, devoted to seafarers. Through this initiative, the brand aims to increase awareness about seafarers plight around the world and offer support to them. Such initiatives are anticipated to boost the market for glass bottles in the country.​

  • In August 2021, LOOTAH perfumes, UAE s leading perfumery, teamed up with Ounass, the Middle East s Definitive Home of Luxury. LOOTAH and Ounass s collaboration showcases over 50 of LOOTAH s scents, transcendent fragrance oils, and the richest incenses on their website.



Competitive Landscape



The Middle East and Africa Glass Packaging Market are moderately segmented with few dominant and few new firms in the market. The companies keep on innovating and entering into strategic partnerships in order to retain their market share.




  • April 2021- Nigerian Beer Brand star Lager announced the expansion in the United States by expanding its distribution capacity for a premium cold-filtered lager. This is expected to drive the demand for glass bottle packaging as the number of exports and demand for African beer increases. Also, according to the company, out of 8,000 breweries in the United States, 60 of them are black-owned.

  • April 2021- SOURCE Global, a Scottsdale, AZ, tech and renewable water company, introduced renewable bottled water made entirely from sunlight and air. The bottle’s graphics are applied using screen printing. The back of the bottle highlights the product’s unique attributes. The glass-bottled water will eventually be available to guests at The Red Sea Development Project (TRSDP), a regenerative luxury tourism destination along Saudi Arabia’s west coast that is underway.
