The Middle East’s printing and packaging sector is all set for a strong growth.

The region’s printing industry is forecasted to touch $20 billion by 2016, while the packaging market is growing at the rate of 5 to 15 percent year-on-year.

There is a huge market potential for growth especially in the GCC where the KSA controls more than 70 percent of packaging market which is expanding by 15 percent each year.

Amidst such impressive figures and a burgeoning market, Saudi Print & Pack, the 13th international trade exhibition for printing and packaging technologies, will be held from Jan. 18-21, 2016 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center.
