The Algerian plastics, printing and packaging industry is booming. According to EUROMAP and VDMA, Algeria ranks among the largest importers of plastics in primary forms and of plastics, printing and packaging technology in Africa and the Middle East.
This is why more and more international technology leaders are expected to attend plast alger & printpack alger 2022. The 7th edition of this international trade fair for plastics, printing and packaging will take place at the state-of-the-art CIC Abdelatif Rahal International Conference Centre in Algiers from 16 to 18 May 2022. Organised by fairtrade biannually since 2010, the event has once again been prominently reinforced on the organiser side with Messe Duesseldorf joining in 2017.
“We are proud that since 2010 plast & printpack alger has been embraced by leading technology and raw material suppliers from around the globe as their most important business platform in the region”, says Martin März, fairtrade founder and managing partner. “And we thank the Algerian government as well as Algerian, Maghreb, European, Middle Eastern and Asian embassies, institutions and associations for their unmitigated and ongoing support.”
plast alger 2022: Algeria is the second largest importer of plastics in primary forms in Africa and the Middle East and the largest importer of plastics technology in the Maghreb
Algeria importing all plastics raw materials (mainly from the Middle East, Asia and Europe), the Algerian market has an immense potential for exporters of such material. Imports of plastic raw materials grew by 10.5% annually between 2007 and 2017, from 304 kt to 828 kt. With imports of 828 kt at a value of more than two billion US$ in 2018, Algeria is the second largest importer of plastics in primary forms in Africa
and the Arab Middle East, following Egypt and ahead of Nigeria with 729 kt, the UAE with 658 kt, South Africa with 627 kt, Saudi Arabia with 625 kt and Iran with 473 kt. (EUROMAP)
“When it comes to plastics technology” outlines Thomas Franken, Project Director K with Messe Duesseldorf, “Algeria’s imports doubled between 2012 and 2018, from 77 million euros in 2012 to 153 million euros in 2018 and stood at 122 million in 2019 and 91 million in 2020. As a result, Algeria is by far the largest importer of plastics technology in the Maghreb, ahead of Morocco with 80 million and Tunisia with 31 million in 2020. Together with Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa, Algeria is one of Africa's largest importers of plastics technology. Algeria's main suppliers are China, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Austria, Spain and Turkey.” (VDMA German Engineering Federation)

Sabine Geldermann, Director drupa and Global Head Print Technologies with Messe Duesseldorf points out: “Algeria’s imports of printing and paper technology have increased from 57 million euros in 2016 to 101 million euros in 2020. As a result, Algeria belongs to the two largest importers of printing & paper technology on the African continent, behind Egypt but well ahead of South Africa and Nigeria. Also, in comparison to leading importers of printing and paper technology in the Middle East, Algeria holds a leading position with 101 million euros, ahead of the UAE (82 million), Saudi Arabia (79 million), Israel (69 million) and Iran (41 million). The most important supplier countries are Germany, Italy, China, France, Switzerland, Spain, Netherlands, Turkey, UK, Belgium, USA and Austria.”
