Muscat – OMAN PLAST 2025, in its 9th edition will showcase the latest technology and machineries used in manufacturing of international plastics, rubber, petrochemicals, chemicals, fertilizers, plastic recycling, printing and packaging industry exhibition. It will be an ideal platform for Oman and its neighbouring countries to source new technology and products through this knowledge forum. As the petrochemical industry is one of the main components of the Omani economy, the event will give great impetus to further diversify its growth.

Noteworthy gains

In fact, the plastics industry per sector has seen sustained growth levels in the region as Middle East and African markets are expected to deliver noteworthy gains right up to 2030. An annual growth rate of around 30 percent has been projected. This region is emerging as a leading global plastic production resin hub with capacities expected to double in the coming years.

Largest source

The Middle East remains the largest source of plastic raw materials; upto 16 per cent of the region’s abundant petroleum supply that is not used for energy production is converted into other materials such as plastic products. While sustaining growth in the plastic industry is of prime importance, Oman has made sure they maintain a green outlook.
