Garbage Bag – Overview

A garbage bag is a material that is used for managing, disposing of, and collecting waste. Disposable bags are also widely used for waste distribution and transportation. Conventional trash bags are typically black and composed of plastic. Garbage bags are primarily black to hide the contents within. Waste residue will likely end up inside the trash can if the trash being put in it is not bagged, which can accumulate, deteriorate, and start to smell bad with time.

Growth Drivers

Rapid Urbanization and Economic Development

Solid waste generation has increased in Saudi Arabia due to the country's rapid urbanization and economic development. Growing urbanization is a result of migration into the nation. Among the nations that make up the MENA region, Saudi Arabia has a high rate of international migration. As a result, the amount of waste produced in households has increased. Trash bags offer convenience in garbage collection and disposal from homes, offices, and other places. Furthermore, the high economic standards of the Saudi residents also influence the focus of hygiene and cleanliness maintenance in the country, which is driving the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market.

Challenges

Non-Biodegradable Nature of Garbage Bags

Garbage bags are generally made of non-biodegradable materials, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, which often end up in landfills and cause pollution. The lack of well-established recycling infrastructure in Saudi Arabia further aggravates the environment pollution issue. In addition, eco-friendly garbage bags are expensive, which makes them inaccessible to the masses. The launch of stringent government regulations, such as a ban on single-use plastic bags, may limit the growth of the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market.

Segmental Coverage

Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market – By Material

Based on material, the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market is split into PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) segments. The polyethylene segment accounts for a higher market share, mainly due to the high durability of polyethylene. Compared to other polymers, polyethylene is more resilient to the elements, as it is water-resistant and long-lasting. In addition to being resistant to various chemicals, including acids and caustic solutions, it also prevents fading and chipping.

Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market – By Type

Based on type, the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market is divided into star-sealed, drawstring, wavetop, C fold, flat seal, and gusset seal segments. The star-sealed segment holds the largest share in the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market. The star closure prevents leaks, disperses waste uniformly throughout the bag, and enables the liner to take on the shape of a garbage can. This garbage bag offers advantageous features over its counterparts, such as high durability, flexibility, and tear resistance, which makes it suitable for both dry and wet waste.

Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market – By Size

Based on size, the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market is segmented into 3–13 gallons, 14–50 gallons, and above 50 gallons. The 3–13 gallons segment accounts for the largest market share and is most suitable for homes, specifically kitchens. This size is considerably standard owing to its affordable pricing and its design, which is suitable for narrow trash cans. However, the 14–50 gallons garbage bags also cover a substantial market share owing to their demand among businesses, such as restaurants.

Competitive Landscape

Major players operating in the Saudi Arabia Garbage Bags Market include Napco National, Al Watania Plastics, Al Tayyar Plastic & Rubber Manufacturing Co. Ltd, United Plastic Products Company Ltd, Saudi Plastic Factory Co., Arabian Plastics Industrial Company Limited, Polypak Industries, Al Rashed Polystyrene Products Factory, Al-Obeikan Plastic Company, Sahara Plastic Company, and Al Faris International Company.
