Market Overview

The Middle East Africa (MEA) Impact Modifiers Market Size functions as a developing yet minor portion of the worldwide polymer additives market. The market for this product develops through construction activities and infrastructure development and packaging needs from Saudi Arabia and UAE and South Africa and Egypt. Impact modifiers function as chemical additives which use elastomers or rubber-like particles to enhance the toughness and break resistance of plastics. Vehicle manufacturers use these materials in bumpers and instrument panels and interior trims to achieve weight reduction while maintaining safety standards.

Saudi Arabia controls the Middle Eastern market for acrylic impact modifiers because its construction sector and its infrastructure developments which include NEOM and the Red Sea Project, drive the industry forward. Nigeria implemented a nationwide ban on plastic straws and bottles in January 2025. Ethiopia passed similar laws in June 2025.

The hotel industry in Dubai has expanded over the past two years which showed 6.2% growth in 2021, which created 47 new hotels, and 6.5% growth in 2022, bringing 43 new hotels to the city. The year 2024 will introduce 3272 new hotel rooms, while the year 2025 will bring 2289 additional hotel rooms to the market. The city will complete 84 hospitality projects, which include both construction and planning stages, by the year 2030.
