The 20th Saudi Plastics & Petrochem trade show, scheduled for May 12-15, 2025, will take place during Riyadh International Industry Week, the largest assembly of MENA's industrial sectors, held concurrently with Saudi Print & Pack 2025.

The Kingdom receives cutting-edge technology, creative solutions, and sustainable workflow practices for the plastics and petrochemicals sector from both domestic and foreign sources through the Saudi Plastics & Petrochem trade show. Top international and local plastics and petrochemical companies, government decision-makers, trade buyers, and industry professionals gather to network, share knowledge, and exhibit the newest and best in plastics and petrochemical equipment, technologies, products, and services that will revolutionise the industry in 2025. Riyadh lies in the heart of the largest economy in the MENA area, worth $1.108 trillion, with several plastics and petrochemical sectors providing a wide range of opportunities. The GCC's largest consumer of polymers, accounting for 61% of consumption, is Saudi Arabia, which also produces more than 67% of the region's plastic resins. The Saudi Arabian plastic packaging market is typically growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6% from 2021 to 2026, reaching USD 11.93 billion. In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest markets for the plastic and packaging sector. The nation boasts a vast customer base and a diverse array of industrial operations. The Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF) reports that there were 45 pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, 196 textile and clothing manufacturing facilities, and 964 food and beverage manufacturing units.
