AFRICHEM Expo Kenya & Eastern Africa edition is the high-impact B2B trade exhibition purpose-built for bringing together global and regional chemical manufacturers, suppliers and solution providers to meet and do business with Africa’s fast-growing industrial (food & beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals etc.) automotive; mining, oil and gas; building and construction and other users of chemical products and new technologies.

Hosted in Nairobi, Kenya, the Expo serves important markets across Eastern & Central Africa, including Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, DRC, Somalia and the wider East African region.

Kenya is an emerging regional hub for East and Central Africa with rising demand for formulated and processed chemicals, followed by Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda and DRC.

Local production of chemical products in Eastern focuses on essential inputs such as industrial chemicals, consumer products, agrochemicals and packaging materials, with chemical demand driven by agriculture, manufacturing, construction and infrastructure projects.

The region’s chemicals market is forecast to grow at double-digit levels in the near term to 2030, and significantly by 2050, as industrialization, agricultural transformation, urbanisation and population growth matures.

AFRICHEM Expo Kenya & Eastern Africa edition is made up of the following constituent events, providing a strong base for sponsors, exhibitors and attendees:

• Africa Coatings Expo Kenya & Eastern Africa 
• Africa Pharma Manufacturing Expo Kenya & Eastern Africa
