THE ALGERIAN PACKAGING INDUSTRY
In Algeria, the packaging industry is growing, balancing major challenges with strong potential.
A growth sector driven by a number of factors
Algeria has a growing packaging market, driven by a number of factors:
- Growth of the agro-food industry: algeria is one of the largest consumer markets in North Africa, with strong demand for packaging for food products.
- Development of the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries: these sectors require standardised, high-quality packaging.
- Increased need for industrial packaging: the logistics and transport sector require appropriate solutions (pallets, rigid packaging).
Algeria's packaging industry presents challenges, constraints, and opportunities linked to industrial growth, new environmental regulations, and market developments.
Challenges and constraints...
- High demand for raw materials.
- New regulations aim to reduce the use of single-use plastics and promote biodegradable packaging.
- The sector requires specific machinery (printing, thermoforming, plastic injection, etc.).
- Algeria produces a large quantity of plastic waste, but the recycling industry is still developing.
... but also opportunities
- The growth of the agro-food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries is creating a strong demand for modern, secure packaging.
- Opportunities for Algerian companies to export to Africa and Europe, especially in food and pharmaceutical packaging.
- Development of biodegradable or recyclable packaging in response to new environmental standards.
- The growth of e-commerce in Algeria is creating demand for appropriate packaging solutions (secure packaging, personalization, anti-counterfeiting solutions).
