The upcoming 2nd edition of Gulf 4P is set to return from 08–11 December 2025 at Dhahran Expo in Dammam, offering a wider platform for the plastics, packaging, printing and petrochemicals sectors. Since the event aligns with fast-growing industrial demand, it will attract global manufacturers, suppliers, converters, distributors and investors. Moreover, the show aims to highlight advanced machinery, innovative materials and emerging technologies that continue to shape regional production ecosystems.
Saudi Arabia’s industrial landscape is experiencing rapid growth, and this environment continues to draw major investments. As the largest economy in the Gulf and MENA regions, the Kingdom targets the industrial sector to contribute 21% of GDP by 2030. Additionally, it holds the leading share of plastics and petrochemicals output in the Gulf, representing more than 67% of total regional capacity. Between 2018 and 2022, petrochemicals capacity grew at a 12% compound annual rate, reaching 90 million tons. Meanwhile, packaging and printing industries are expanding at similar rates and now account for roughly 70% of the GCC market. Because of this momentum, Gulf 4P offers international and regional businesses a timely pathway to reach new partners, distributors and customers.
The event is expected to feature more than 150 exhibitors, over 1,000 innovative products, delegations from 12 countries and more than 1,000 pre-scheduled B2B meetings. With more than 6,000 professional visitors anticipated, the four-day exhibition will cover machinery, processing systems, packaging solutions, printing technologies, recycling innovations and integrated petrochemical applications. A structured B2B matchmaking programme will help participants secure new partnerships, distribution agreements and investment opportunities.
Cross-Sector Opportunities Through Co-Located Events
Gulf 4P 2025 will run alongside three complementary exhibitions, creating a consolidated sourcing and networking hub. CIDEX 2025 will present solutions for construction and infrastructure development, while the third edition of CTW Saudi will connect exporters with Saudi buyers across diverse industrial and consumer segments. Additionally, the second edition of Mach & Tools Saudi 2025 will spotlight industrial machinery, tools and equipment that support the Kingdom’s expanding manufacturing sector. Together, these events will draw professionals from construction, logistics, energy, trade and industrial operations, and they will promote stronger collaboration across multiple sectors.
The event also builds momentum through three major strategic partners: Asharqia Chamber, China Refrigeration (CRH) and Beijing International Exhibition Center Co., Ltd. These organisations enhance the event’s technical depth, business reach and international presence. Their involvement strengthens global cooperation, boosts access to Saudi and international buyers and supports high-level knowledge exchange through conferences and technical sessions. Exhibitors benefit from targeted visitor traffic, regional and global pavilions, structured matchmaking and wider opportunities for manufacturing, supply and technology transfer.
Numerous partners and supporters further reinforce the event’s international appeal. These include institutions and trade bodies from Turkey, China, India and Europe, along with digital trade platforms and hospitality partners. Their participation helps expand global engagement, support delegations and enhance business connectivity. Additionally, an extensive network of media partners will provide regional and international visibility, highlighting exhibitor innovations, investment opportunities and major outcomes from the show.
