Libya's commitment to revitalizing its petrochemical sector is evident through significant investments and infrastructure developments. In 2025, the Ras Lanuf Polyethylene Plant resumed operations after over a decade, marking a significant milestone in the country's industrial revival. The plant's reactivation not only meets domestic demand but also enhances Libya's capacity to produce polyethylene, a key material in the plastics industry. Additionally, the NOC has plans to expand and modernize its refining and petrochemical units, with an estimated investment of $10 billion.

The government's focus on industrial growth is further demonstrated by its initiative to increase the industrial sector's contribution to the GDP to 30% by 2030. This strategic vision includes the development of 14 industrial zones, aimed at fostering economic growth and attracting foreign investment. These zones are expected to provide the necessary infrastructure and services to support the growth of the plastics, rubber, and petrochemical industries.

Libya's strategic location in North Africa, coupled with its rich resource base and ongoing industrial developments, makes it an ideal venue for hosting North Africa Plast to enrich the rising plastics, rubber, and petrochemical sectors; and to showcase Libya's industrial capabilities in addition to attracting global investors and industry professionals, fostering collaboration and growth in these vital sectors.
