Middle East Dubai Paper Industry ExhibitionPaper Arabia

The Middle East Dubai Paper Industry Exhibition (Paper Arabia), is the largest and most specialized trade show in the Middle East dedicated to paper and hygiene products. It is co-organized by Arab Information Services and the Indian Association of Printers, Packaging and Related Machinery Manufacturers. Each edition grows at a rate of 15% to 20%, while attendance increases by approximately 25% annually.

Against the backdrop of a surge in investment within the Middle East’s paper industry, the Middle East Dubai Paper Industry Exhibition (Paper Arabia)is held to meet the exponentially growing consumer demand for paper products. The event attracts hundreds of exhibitors from around the globe and draws nearly ten thousand professional visitors from countries including Iran, Turkey, Ethiopia, Oman, the Arab States, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Europe, and India.

Given that local production capacity falls far short of meeting rising consumer demand, approximately 62% of the Middle East’s paper needs are currently met through imports. Moreover, as living standards rise and consumer preferences evolve across the Middle East and North Africa, demand for mid‑to‑high‑end toilet paper, hand towels, wet wipes, diapers, and sanitary napkins continues to increase.
