Iraq Plastics Market Synopsis

Iraq plastics market has shown decent growth during the pre-covid years owing to the growing packaging sector along with investments in the construction sector. In 2020, imports of plastic products suffered on account of disruption in the global supply chain due to the imposition of covid restrictions. Moreover, a temporary halt in global production facilities of plastic products negatively affected the Iraq plastic market. However, after the pandemic, the market for Iraq Plastics is expected to grow during the forecast period on the back of growing medical devices which would experience a growth of 4.0% in 2023. Further, electrical & electronics would contribute to the growth of the market for plastic in Iraq towards positive development and thus would further propel the demand for plastic products in the coming years.

According to 6Wresearch, the Iraq Plastics Market revenue size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% during 2023–2029. The market would experience growth in the forecast period on account of the growing construction and healthcare sector in Iraq. Furthermore, between 2022 and 2025, the construction sector is anticipated to grow at an average annual rate of around 6% which includes investments in infrastructure projects related to transportation, energy, power, education, and housing. Several infrastructure projects such as Al Kut Baghdad Highway, Al Rasheed Residential City, Al Sadr City, and others would contribute to the demand for plastic in the future. Moreover, Iraq is planning to complete the Al-Hurriya hospital project in Baghdad and has achieved a 55 percent completion rate and is expected to open by the end of 2024.
