Description

Middle East Seafood Packaging Market Summary

The Middle East seafood packaging market size was estimated at USD 687.3 million in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 986.4 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2025 to 2033. The market is driven by the region’s growing aquaculture and seafood trade, supported by government initiatives to boost food security and exports.

Rising consumer demand for high-quality, fresh, and hygienically packaged seafood further fuels the need for advanced and sustainable packaging solutions. As consumers increasingly prioritize protein-rich diets, seafood has emerged as a healthier alternative to red meat, boosting demand for efficient and sustainable packaging solutions. For instance, countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with their expanding urban populations and high expatriate presence, have seen a surge in seafood consumption, necessitating advanced packaging to extend shelf life and maintain quality. In addition, government initiatives promoting food security, such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, are encouraging investments in modern packaging technologies to reduce food waste and improve supply chain efficiency.

The expansion of the retail sector, particularly hypermarkets and online grocery platforms, which require durable and visually appealing seafood packaging to attract consumers. Brands such as Lulu Hypermarket and Carrefour in the UAE and Oman are increasingly demanding vacuum-sealed, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), and eco-friendly materials to enhance product freshness and meet sustainability goals. For instance, MAP technology, which replaces oxygen with nitrogen or carbon dioxide, is gaining traction as it extends the shelf life of seafood products by up to 50%. The rise of e-commerce platforms such as Noon and Kibsons has further accelerated the need for leak-proof and tamper-evident packaging to ensure safe delivery.

Sustainability concerns are also shaping the seafood packaging market, with consumers and regulators pushing for biodegradable and recyclable materials. The Middle East’s reliance on imported seafood (from regions such as Europe and Asia) has heightened the need for lightweight, eco-friendly packaging to reduce carbon footprints. For instance, Dubai-based companies such as Union Plastic are introducing compostable trays made from sugarcane fiber for seafood packaging, aligning with the UAE’s Circular Economy Policy 2021 - 2031. Similarly, Oman’s fisheries sector is adopting recyclable PET containers to comply with stricter environmental regulations. This shift not only meets consumer demand for green products but also helps exporters access European markets with stringent sustainability standards.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
