The Middle East fertilizer bag market size was valued at USD 131.1 million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 189.8 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2033. The industry is driven by the region's expanding agricultural activities, supported by government initiatives for food security.
Additionally, the rising demand for chemical and organic fertilizers fuels the need for durable and cost-effective packaging solutions. The growing focus on agricultural expansion driven by national food security goals is driving the growth of the market. Countries such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE are making significant investments to reduce their dependence on food imports by enhancing domestic crop production, especially in desert farming and hydroponics. For instance, Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 plan includes initiatives to boost sustainable agriculture. This rise in fertilizer consumption for crops has increased the demand for durable and efficient fertilizer packaging solutions like woven polypropylene (PP) bags, which offer strength and moisture protection in arid conditions.
Governments across the Middle East are providing subsidies and logistical support for the distribution of fertilizers to farmers, especially in rural and remote areas. This has spurred demand for fertilizer bags that can handle long-distance transport while maintaining product quality. For example, the Omani government supports fertilizer distribution through the Oman Food Investment Holding Company, which relies heavily on efficient packaging to maintain supply chain integrity. The need for customizable, UV-resistant, and tear-resistant bags is rising in tandem with these programs, pushing manufacturers to innovate in both material and design.
The Middle East is home to several large-scale fertilizer manufacturers such as SABIC, Ma'aden, and Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO), which are expanding their production to meet both domestic and export demands. With increasing fertilizer output, especially of urea and nitrogen-based fertilizers, there is a parallel need for high-capacity, weather-resistant bags. These include FIBC (Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers) and BOPP laminated bags, which offer high load-bearing capacity and brand-friendly surfaces. This production growth cycle is directly contributing to an uptick in regional demand for specialized fertilizer packaging solutions.
