Why Exhibit?

With the rapid rise of e-commerce, food delivery, and light industries in Southeast Asia, the regional packaging market is experiencing unprecedented growth opportunities. Businesses are demanding greater product diversity, smaller batch production, and more customized packaging solutions, driving the industry to accelerate innovation and transformation. As a leading trade show dedicated to the Southeast Asian packaging supply chain, WEPACK SOUTHEAST ASIA provides a highly efficient platform for global packaging companies to connect with the Southeast Asian market, tap into emerging business opportunities.

Why Indonesia?

A Booming Market with Rapid Packaging Industry Growth

As Southeast Asia’s largest manufacturing and export hub, Indonesia’s manufacturing output accounts for over 20% of its GDP and serves a consumer market of 600 million across ASEAN. It is one of the fastest-growing regions for paper packaging and eco-friendly materials.

In recent years, Indonesia has attracted significant global investment, particularly in electric vehicles, battery manufacturing, logistics, and packaging. At the same time, the booming e-commerce, delivery, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors have driven increased demand for paper packaging, sustainable packaging, and smart packaging solutions. Reports indicate that over the next five years, the Southeast Asian paper packaging industry is expected to maintain a compound annual growth rate of 7%–9%, with Indonesia showing the greatest growth potential.
