KARACHI: The Pakistan Chemical Manufacturers Association (PCMA) has formally announced the staging of the Pakistan Chemical Expo 2025, a landmark event set to be held on June 25 and 26, 2025, at the Karachi Expo Centre.
The announcement was made during a press conference here on Monday, where senior representatives from PCMA and the Federation of Pakistan Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FPCCI) highlighted the significance of the upcoming event for the country’s industrial and economic future.
Addressing the media, Chairman PCMA Haroon Ali Khan described the expo as a major milestone for Pakistan’s rapidly expanding chemical industry, calling it a dynamic platform to connect local and international stakeholders, industry leaders, investors, suppliers, and innovators. “This expo reflects PCMA’s commitment to positioning Pakistan as a competitive force in the global chemical economy.
We believe it will catalyze new partnerships, enhance industrial innovation, and help advance our national chemical strategy,” he remarked.
The event aims to showcase the full spectrum of Pakistan’s chemical value chain, including petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and allied sectors. It is expected to attract a diverse range of exhibitors and participants from both domestic and international markets, offering unparalleled opportunities for networking, investment exploration, knowledge-sharing, and technology exchange.
Speaking on the occasion, President FPCCI Atif Ikram Sheikh emphasized the strategic importance of the chemical sector in Pakistan’s economic landscape. He noted that if developed efficiently, the sector has the potential to substantially reduce the country’s import bill and improve export competitiveness. “This expo is not just an exhibition — it’s a movement for industrial self-reliance, innovation, and sustainable growth,” he added.
Senior Vice President FPCCI Saquib Fayyaz Magoon also addressed the gathering, underlining the PCMA’s efforts to draw international attention to Pakistan’s vast potential in the chemical industry. “Our objective is to provide local manufacturers with a gateway to new markets, modern technologies, and valuable partnerships that can drive growth and innovation within the sector,” he stated.
The two-day event will feature B2B matchmaking sessions, panel discussions, technical seminars, product exhibitions, and policy dialogues, designed to foster collaboration among chemical producers, regulatory authorities, research institutions, and investors. Organizers hope the expo will serve as a catalyst for both local and foreign investments, supporting Pakistan’s drive toward industrial modernization and economic diversification.
