Smithers’ are excited to confirm that our hugely popular Sustainability in Packaging event series will be launching into MENA on 22-23 May 2024 in Dubai.
Following on from the huge successes of the events in Europe, USA, Asia and Latin America – this new edition will lean into our global packaging expertise and provide insights, case studies and introduction to sustainable packaging in the Middle East and North Africa.
According to market intelligence from Smithers’ latest industry report – The Future of Global Packaging to 2028 – Africa and the Middle East are among the fastest growing packaging markets, with both emerging markets (along with Asia and South & Central America) forecast to grow packaging sales faster than the global market average across the five-year period to 2028.
