Middle East and Africa Recycled Plastic Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Type (Polyethylene Terephthalate, Polyethylene, Polypropylene, Polystyrene, and Others), Source (Plastic Bottles, Plastic Films, Plastic Foams, Plastic Fibers, and Others), and Application (Packaging, Textile, Automotive, Building and Construction, Electrical and Electronics, and Others)

The Middle East & Africa recycled plastic market is expected to grow from US$ 3,810.47 million in 2021 to US$ 6,276.50 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2021 to 2028.

Technological advancements in plastic recycling are supporting the demand for recycled plastics. Recycling plastic is one solution that is considered more sustainable over the long term. There has been a rise in research and development activities to improve plastic recycling in the past few years. Scientists are also focusing on the development of plastic-ingesting bacteria. A crucial step of recycling plastic is breaking it down into smaller particles; the goal is to reduce plastics to their constituents' compounds, thereby making them less harmless and more useful for repeat applications. The polymer compounds of plastics are very stable, which is why plastics are widely used. The bacteria "Ideonella sakaiensis" can break plastics into ethylene glycol and dimethyterephtalate (DMT). The plastic broken using this method is used in many applications such as constructing roads and other structures. Another technological innovation in plastic recycling is the use of the artificial intelligence (AI) sorting method. AI is used to separate plastics from metal caps and is the perfect solution for garbage recycling due to garbage's highly irregular and unpredictable nature. A sensor may be able to identify a material's composition and separate them. AI is becoming a key ally for the development of the plastic recycling sector. Artificial intelligence allows for more efficient management of recycling plants and the implementation of image recognition systems to select and classify waste. With the increase in plastic recycling industries, artificial intelligence will enable more efficient management of recycling and waste sorting plants.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the recycled plastic market at a notable CAGR during the forecast period.
