Visitor registrations climb 23% year-on-year as the region's paper, tissue, hygiene and packaging industries prepare to reconnect face-to-face

30 June 2026: Paper & Tissue Show, the region's dedicated trade platform for the paper, tissue, hygiene and packaging sectors, has confirmed that its 2026 edition is now 97% sold out, with only five exhibition stands remaining. The announcement comes as visitor registrations rise 23% compared with the previous edition, signalling strong momentum across the regional supply chain.

Taking place from 21–23 September 2026 at ADNEC, Abu Dhabi, this edition will mark one of the first major opportunities for suppliers and buyers across the region to reconnect and conduct business face-to-face following a period of disruption — positioning the show as a key meeting point for the sector's recovery and growth.

More than 400 professional buyers — including distributors, wholesalers and factory owners actively sourcing new suppliers — are expected to attend. To maximise commercial outcomes, the event will operate a dedicated B2B matchmaking application, pairing exhibitors with the most relevant buyers in advance so that meetings are pre-arranged and qualified before the doors open.

A new highlight of this edition is the dedicated Supermarket Area, where exhibitors' products will be displayed in a real retail setting, allowing buyers to evaluate ranges exactly as they would appear on the shelf.

The show is co-located with the Hygiene & Nonwoven Show and the Packaging & Recycle Show, giving attendees access to the combined traffic of three simultaneous events covering the entire paper, tissue, hygiene and packaging supply chain under one roof.

With limited space remaining, companies interested in exhibiting are encouraged to secure their stand without delay.
