Plastics & Rubber Thailand 2025 marks its third edition as a premier regional platform for the plastics and rubber industries. Co-organized by two global exhibition leaders - Informa Markets Thailand and Messe Düsseldorf Asia - the event showcases the latest innovations and advanced technologies through 5 international pavilions. Leading exhibitors from 12 countries-including Austria, China, Germany, India, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam - will come together to present solutions that support the sustainable transformation of the plastics and rubber sectors. With a strong focus on eco-friendly advancements, the show aims to drive future growth, meet evolving market demands, and foster collaboration at both regional and global levels.
Under the theme “Unwrapping Net Zero: Creating a More Sustainable Future,” Plastics & Rubber Thailand 2025 emphasizes the importance of sustainability across the industry. The event is supported by leading organizations and institutions throughout the plastics and rubber value chain, including the Plastics Institute of Thailand, PETROMAT, the Thai Tool and Die Industry Association, the Thai Bioplastics Industry Association (TBIA), the Thai Composite Association, the Rubber-Elastomer Technology Association: (RETA), THAI PDA –Thai Package Design Association as well as top academic institutions such as King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Ladkrabang, King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, and King Mongkut's University of Technology North Bangkok, among others. The collective support of these key stakeholders will strengthen efforts to drive the industry towards sustainable growth and play a crucial role in advancing the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies in the future.
Thailand’s manufacturing sector is showing signs of recovery in line with the global economic rebound, particularly in industries that rely heavily on plastics and rubber. The country’s plastic exports continue to grow steadily, driven in part by the anticipated wave of import tariff hikes in major markets. However, industry players must adapt to growing environmental regulations and intensifying market competition including increasing restrictions on single-use plastics. These challenges are driving manufacturers to invest more in recycled and bio-based plastics, despite the potential for rising production costs. At the same time, Thailand’s rubber industry is expected to grow, supported by favorable La Niña conditions and attractive price levels. Demand for rubber is forecast to rise across various sectors, including the automotive industry, construction, and medical products.
The event will feature a series of activities that reflect the industry’s movement toward innovation and sustainability. Key highlights include the Business Matching Program which fosters valuable trade connections; the Mold & Die Pavilion by the Thai Tool and Die Industry Association, showcasing cutting-edge sustainable mold technology; and the Innovation and Technology for Plastics Sustainability by Plastics Institute of Thailand, offering knowledge-sharing sessions and a dedicated Plastics Industry Clinic. The Rubber Innovation Zone, jointly organized by KMUTNB, KMUTT, and KMITL, will present research and development to uplift Thailand’s rubber sector. Additionally, the High-Performance Materials Zone by Thai Composite Association will spotlight advanced composite products, while the Green Packaging Innovation by THAI PDA - Thai Package Design Association and Eco Solution Materials Zone by Thai Bioplastics Industry Association (TBIA) will introduce sustainable packaging and bioplastics, promoting eco-conscious solutions for the future of the plastics and rubber industries.
Seminars and workshops will cover key industry topics, including innovation, materials, sustainable development, and future business strategies. These activities aim to enhance knowledge, understanding, and the overall capabilities of participants and exhibitors. Notable sessions include the Plastics Plenary Session, exploring investment opportunities and business growth in sustainable plastics, the Recycling Solutions & Sustainability Forum, focusing on recycling practices and sustainability efforts to drive positive environmental change, and the Rubber Seminars and Workshop, addressing the value-added processes in rubber from upstream to downstream, including its reuse. Additionally, the Seminar on High-Performance Composites will showcase advancements in Thermoplastic Prepreg technology, while the Carbon Footprint Workshop will provide foundational insights into carbon footprint assessments, marking the first step towards environmentally responsible business development.
Be part of driving the plastics and rubber industries towards a sustainable future and experience world-class innovations at Plastics & Rubber Thailand 2025, from May 14-17, 2025 at Hall 99 BITEC Bangkok. This is a unique opportunity to meet experts, business partners, and network internationally.
