With strong industry support from distinguished ministries and associations, the tripartite formation will provide a one-stop business platform to serve the entire end-to-end supply chain for relevant industries.

Growing Population, Growing Opportunities

The world’s fourth largest country, in terms of population, is developing rapidly. With an average of 520 live births every hour, Indonesia’s middleclass population alone is expected to double to 141 million people within the next five years. The plastics, printing, packaging and processing industries are projected to grow in tandem with the rapid escalation of the consumer market and eventual surge in demand for food and lifestyle goods. International Monetary Fund list Indonesia as the 16th largest economy in the global scale. It is projected to propel to a high 7th position with an estimated 135 million consumers, making Indonesia a highly lucrative investment economy to exploit.

Propitious ASEAN Plastics, Printing, Packaging and Processing Industry

Formed in December 2015, the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) aims to establish an added globally-competitive single market and boost economic ties between the countries in ASEAN by reducing trade tariffs and allowing a freer flow of labour and capital across the nations. This is expected to help lift imports and exports, providing businesses with greater opportunities to expand on a regional and global scale.

The next edition of The Indonesian International Plastics, Packaging and Printing Exhibitions, will take place from 2 to 5 September 2020, at Jakarta International Expo, Kemayoran, Indonesia.
