Plastexpo 2025 Set to Spotlight Africa’s Booming Plastics Sector in Casablanca
The African polymer industry is gearing up for its premier event as Plastexpo 2025 prepares to open its doors next week at Casablanca’s International Exhibition Center. Now in its tenth edition, the exhibition will showcase how modern plastics technology is addressing continental development challenges through sustainable solutions.
AsiaMB reports this year’s event will feature groundbreaking innovations in:
• Circular economy solutions for polymer processing
• Next-generation masterbatch technologies
• Sustainable packaging alternatives tailored to African markets
“Morocco’s strategic position as an industrial hub makes this event particularly significant,” noted Dr. Amina Belkhayat, AsiaMB’s Africa market analyst. “The country’s polymer sector has grown 18% annually since 2020, driven by regional demand and government modernization initiatives.”
Key highlights for industry professionals include:
• Dedicated zones for recycling technologies and bioplastics
• Technical workshops on color masterbatch applications
• B2B matchmaking sessions with North African manufacturers
• Live demonstrations of energy-efficient processing equipment
With Morocco’s plastics exports reaching $1.2 billion in 2024, the event has become a crucial platform for international suppliers seeking African partnerships. “The continent’s polymer demand is projected to double by 2030,” explained exhibition director Karim El Fassi. “Plastexpo connects global innovators with local manufacturers ready to upgrade their capabilities.”
The concurrent Africa Plastics Summit will address pressing industry challenges, including:
• Sustainable alternatives for single-use plastics
• Localization of polymer value chains
• Workforce development in advanced processing techniques
As African nations implement stricter environmental regulations while pursuing industrialization goals, Plastexpo 2025 offers timely solutions for balancing economic growth with ecological responsibility in the region’s polymer sector.
