Earlier Report Observations

The orange market volume in MENA increased from 9.0 million tonnes in 2018 to 9.5 million tonnes in 2020, representing a period of steady growth. This expansion was primarily supported by a rise in domestic production, which grew by over 5% in 2019 and continued to increase in 2020. The subsequent period saw a market correction, with the total volume contracting to 9.1 million tonnes in 2021, a decline of over 4% from the previous year's peak.

Following the 2021 contraction, the market entered a phase of stabilization. The volume remained around 9.1 million tonnes in both 2022 and 2023, indicating a balanced supply and demand environment. During these years, domestic production showed modest year-on-year increases, while import and export flows experienced significant volatility, particularly a sharp drop in imports in 2023.
