Packaging, a key economic sector

The global packaging industry is a highly significant economic sector, generating more than 500 billion euros in sales every year.

Nearly 60% of this industry is destined for the agro-food sector. However, this activity is marked by considerable inequality: 75% of the packaging produced is consumed by only 20% of the world's population.

Packaging is an essential component of the Algerian economy, particularly in the agro-food, pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries.

However, the sector faces major challenges such as high demand for raw materials, recycling and the transition to sustainable solutions.

Packaging, 1 sector, 4 areas:

The packaging sector can be divided into four main areas:

  • Packaging: innovative, sustainable and recyclable materials and packaging, as well as packaging, filling, forming and sealing machines.
  • Processes: technologies for automating production processes and solutions linked to the circular economy, such as recycling and reuse.
  • Printing: traceability, coding and marking systems, as well as printing technologies for packaging.
  • Intralogistics: intralogistics, warehouse management, robotics and automation solutions, as well as advanced technologies for supply chain optimisation.

 

These areas, which are constantly evolving, now account for the majority of innovations in the packaging sector, and are all represented at the show. Djazagro is an essential showcase for discovering these advances and forging strategic partnerships.

Many materials are used in the packaging sector:

  • Paper and cardboard
  • Plastics
  • Glass
  • Steel
  • Aluminium
  • Biomaterials
