Iran Petrochemical & Plastic Exports to Pakistan | Abrisham Road
International Platform in Expanding Iran’s Petrochemical and Plastic Exports to Pakistan
The export of petrochemical and plastic products is one of the most important pillars of Iran’s non-oil exports. Thanks to abundant oil and gas resources, high production capacity, wide diversity of polymer products, and a strategic geographical location, Iran has become a key supplier of petrochemical and plastic materials in the region.
Among neighboring markets, Pakistan holds a special position due to its large population, growing industrial sector, and continuous demand for raw materials. In this context, the Abrisham Road International Platform, recognized as the first B2B platform in Iran, plays a vital role in facilitating and expanding exports of Iranian petrochemical and plastic products to Pakistan.
Importance of the Pakistani Market for Iranian Petrochemical and Plastic Exports
With a population exceeding 240 million and rapidly growing industries such as packaging, construction, textiles, and automotive manufacturing, Pakistan is a major importer of polymeric raw materials and petrochemical products.
Geographical proximity, reduced transportation costs, and strong industrial demand give Iranian exporters a competitive advantage over other suppliers, making Pakistan a strategic target market for Iran’s petrochemical and plastic exports.
