Riyadh to Host Inaugural Saudi Paper & Packaging Expo 2025
Attracting over 14,000 industry professionals across three days, the inaugural edition of Saudi Paper & Packaging Expo, co-located with Saudi Signage & Labelling Expo, will be held at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC) from 20-22 May 2025.
Organized by the UAE-based global exhibitions and publishing company dmg events, the dual events will provide important platforms to expand business prospects, showcase innovative products that will reshape the industry, and engage in a vibrant networking environment, bringing together key decision makers and industry players.
Fuelled by the rising demand for sustainable and eco-friendly packaging solutions, the paper manufacturing and packaging sectors in Saudi Arabia are experiencing significant growth. The Saudi paper and cardboard packaging market, currently estimated around $2.22 billion is expected to reach $2.84 billion, at a CAGR of 4.24% during the 2024-2029 forecast period. The upswing is attributed to the growth of the e-commerce sector and increased consumer awareness regarding sustainable packaging, in addition to the initiative of Saudi Vision 2030.
“We confirm the launch of Saudi Paper & Packaging Expo to support the growth and development of these sectors in Saudi Arabia. Manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators will come together to showcase their latest products, technologies, and solutions, highlighting the developments that shape the future of the paper and packaging industry,” comments Muhammed Kazi, senior vice president, dmg events.
“The significant success of the inaugural Saudi Signage & Labelling Expo, launched in 2023, demonstrated the demand for such platforms. We are confident that the addition of the paper and packaging manufacturing sectors will enhance the value we offer to both exhibitors and visitors,” adds Kazi.
The exhibition features products and services from 11 different sectors, including paper machines and equipment, raw materials and chemicals, paper recycling and waste management, packaging solutions, materials and equipment, packaging machines and equipment, design and innovation, automation and robotics, packaging supplies and accessories, and sustainability and logistics.
The Saudi Paper & Packaging Expo 2025 expects to receive a great response from exhibitors and visitors in light of the success of the Saudi Signage & Labelling Expo 2024.
