The 25th International Paint, Resin, Coatings, Composites and Plating Industries Fair (IPCC 2025) 

The International Paint, Resin, Coatings, Composites and Plating Industries Fair (IPCC) is the largest coatings industry exhibition in the Middle East, hosting approximately 340 direct exhibitors representing over 2,000 companies from 21 countries, across a 40,000 sqm covered area.

Organized by Banian Omid Co., IPCC has been the region’s leading platform for the coatings industry for 24 consecutive years. The event has always enjoyed strong collaboration with private and governmental organizations, trade associations, and NGOs.

In its early years, IPCC experienced steady and gradual growth. A major turning point occurred in 2013, when both the number of local exhibitors and international participants increased significantly. That year, IPCC recorded a 237% growth in foreign exhibitors, and the number of local companies nearly doubled.

Between 2013 and 2023, exhibitor numbers remained stable due to space limitations, but the visitor count, B2B meetings, and conference programs grew continuously year by year.

In 2024, IPCC expanded by adding three new halls, increasing its total exhibition space by 30%.

Why Iran? Core Strengths of the Coating Industry
- Rising Industrial Demand:
As an emerging economy, Iran continues to experience strong growth across various industrial sectors. Coatings are an essential component in nearly every form of manufacturing, driving high and consistent demand.
- Abundant Raw Materials:
Iran holds one of the world’s largest oil and petrochemical reserves, enabling low-cost, readily available raw materials for coating production. This significantly reduces costs in both procurement and logistics.
- Strategic Location:
Iran is situated at the crossroads of Central Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, bordering Afghanistan, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, and Turkmenistan, and providing access to the Caspian Sea, Persian Gulf, and Gulf of Oman. This makes it an ideal hub for regional production and export.
- Diverse and Growing Consumer Market:
With a population of approximately 80 million, Iran represents a vast consumer base. The market is known for its diverse demand, accommodating a wide range of products and services across various quality and pricing levels.
- Geopolitical and Resource Advantages:
Covering 1,648,000 km², Iran’s size, population, and rich natural resources make it one of the most attractive and strategic markets for the coatings industry in the region.
