The exhibition will run from Sept. 8–11, 2025, at the Tehran
International Permanent Fairground, covering more than 34,000 square metres of
space. Organisers said more than 11,000 square metres were reserved on the
first day of booth allocation, through both online bookings and allocations via
industry associations – a new record for trade show registrations in Iran.
The event, a fixture in Iran’s industrial calendar, will feature the
latest domestic products and technologies, alongside platforms for business
talks and international cooperation. Officials say the fair will serve as a
“strategic window” to introduce Iran’s production, export and innovation
potential, positioning the country as a reliable supplier in a reshaped global
value chain.
Shifting trade routes, evolving consumption patterns in downstream
industries, and geopolitical tensions have disrupted global petrochemical
supply. Organisers argue this creates an opening for Iran to redefine its role,
especially in emerging markets in Central Asia, East Africa and Latin America.
Years of sanctions have forced Iranian companies to develop
alternative trading models, from using local currencies and free zones to
indirect transport routes. Iran Plast will highlight these capabilities, as
well as new catalysts, energy-efficient processes and pollution-reduction
technologies developed domestically.
Beyond commerce, organisers frame Iran Plast as a tool of economic
diplomacy. Delegations from multiple countries are set to attend, with talks
focusing on long-term cooperation and joint projects. A dedicated section will
address sustainable and environmentally friendly innovations, including
recycling, renewable feedstocks and energy-saving processes.
