Why Exhibit at Plast Alger 2025?

Algeria: A Market with Unmatched Potential

Algeria’s plastics, printing, and packaging industries are experiencing exponential growth, making it:

• Africa’s and the Arab Middle East’s largest importer of plastics and packaging technology.
• The second-largest importer of plastics in primary forms in Africa and the Middle East.
• The third-largest importer of printing & paper technology in Africa.

Because its economy is growing and people want to buy things, Algeria is a good place for businesses that want to start or grow their presence in the area.

A Growing Market for Plastics Raw Materials

Algeria’s market depends a lot on plastic raw materials that are brought in from other countries, mostly in the Middle East, Asia, and Europe. From 2007 to 2017, the amount of plastic raw materials imported rose from 304 kt to 828 kt, a rise of 10.5% per year. Algeria was the second-largest importer of plastics in basic forms in Africa and the Middle East, coming in behind Egypt but ahead of Nigeria, the UAE, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. In 2017, it  brought in 828 kt of plastic raw materials worth more than $2 billion.

Algeria’s Rapidly Growing Demand for Plastics Technology

The huge rise in imports is largely due to advances in plastics technology, which is a key part of Algeria’s economic growth. In 2018, Algeria bought 153 million euros worth of plastics technology, up from 77 million euros in 2012. This is according to Petra Cullmann, Global Portfolio Director Plastics & Rubber at Messe Düsseldorf.

Because of this huge increase, Algeria now buys more plastics technology than any other country in Africa and the Arab Middle East. It is more expensive than Egypt (€148 million), Saudi Arabia (€132 million), South Africa (€125 million), Nigeria (€115 million), and the UAE (€106 million).

Key Suppliers and Business Opportunities

Algeria imports a wide range of plastics technology and raw materials from leading global manufacturers, with its main suppliers being:

• China
• Italy
• Germany
• France
