In a landmark collaboration, China National Chemical Information Center and RX—two leading organizers of papermaking and packaging exhibitions—are joining forces to co-host the Paper Chain Expo + Wepack Southeast Asia 2025 in Jakarta, Indonesia. From July 29 to 31, 2025 at the Indonesia JIEXPO Exhibition Center, this premier event strengthens the synergistic effects between upstream paper-making and downstream packaging operations across Southeast Asia. The exhibition will feature over 300 enterprises spanning the entire papermaking and packaging supply chain.
The event will feature an integrated supply system that presents a high-quality chain covering everything from paper pulp and eco-friendly materials to packaging applications across various industries. It will also promote regional collaboration as industry experts explore resources from Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Thailand, fostering new partnerships and deeper cooperation between Chinese and Southeast Asian markets.
Additionally, with booming sectors such as e-commerce, take-out services, and industrial packaging driving increased demand for short-order equipment, corrugated processing, and folding carton technology, the growth potential is significant. According to market projections, the Southeast Asian corrugated packaging market is anticipated to grow at a 4% compound annual growth rate from 2021 to 2026.
Indonesia, Southeast Asia's largest economy, plays a pivotal role in the global packaging industry, especially in segments like paper, eco-friendly, and intelligent packaging. Benefiting from a stable annual growth rate of 5%, the country offers a thriving market with access to over 600 million ASEAN consumers. Additionally, as a global investment hub, Indonesia attracts major investments and government support in sectors such as electric vehicles, battery manufacturing, logistics, and packaging, underscoring its significant international influence.
Reinforced partnerships bolster the event's credibility through long-standing collaborations with local organizations such as Asosiasi Kotak Karton Gelombang Indonesia(AKKGI)，Association Corrugated Converting Indonesia (ACCI), Indonesian Packaging Federation (IPF), and Indonesian Pulp & Paper Association (APKI), while RX's long-running Indonesian Corrugated Folding Carton Manufacturing Summit since 2011 has built substantial industry resources and media connections.
Additionally, policy endorsements further strengthen the expo, with initiatives like the China-ASEAN cooperation strategy and Guangdong Province's "Guangdong Trade Global" campaign providing allowances for participating enterprises, thereby reducing the costs associated with overseas market expansion.
Paper Chain Expo + WEPACK Southeast Asia 2025 invites industry professionals, manufacturers, and trade visitors to explore new market opportunities in the rapidly expanding Indonesian and Southeast Asian packaging markets.
