Investment in technology to boost local production, export and replace imports

According to the German mechanical engineering association VDMA, Algeria is one of the largest investors in plastics, printing and packaging technologies in Africa and the Middle East. These technological imports enable Algeria to develop and diversify its own production, increase its exports, and replace imports of consumables.

In this context, plast & printpack alger plays an important role in raising awareness among the Algerian public of environmentally friendly materials and packaging, and in familiarising the public with the circular economy.

Facts on Algeria’s rapidly growing plastics and packaging industry

Imports of plastic raw materials grew by 9.0% annually between 2007 and 2022, from 304 kt to over a thousand kt in 2022. Algeria is thus the second largest importer of plastics in primary forms in Africa & Middle East, following Egypt and well ahead of the UAE. (EUROMAP)
Algeria’s imports of plastics technology increased by 32% annually between 2020 and 2023, from €91m to €210m. This makes Algeria the second largest importer of plastics technology on the African continent after Egypt (€220m). (VDMA)
With €161m in 2023, Algeria is the second largest importer of packaging technology in Africa, ahead of Egypt (€145m) and after South Africa (€194m). (VDMA)
