Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – Gulf 4P, the International Exhibition for Plastics, Packaging, Printing & Petrochemicals, returns for its second edition at the Dhahran International Exhibition Centre (Dhahran Expo).

Saudi Arabia is the largest plastics and petrochemicals producer in the Gulf, accounting for more than 67% of total GCC petrochemicals capacity. Between 2018 and 2022, petrochemicals capacity grew at a 12% compound annual growth rate, reaching 90 million tons, while the Kingdom’s packaging and printing industries are expanding at around 12% annually, commanding an estimated 70% market share across the entire GCC region.
