Event overview
HanoiPlas 2027 is the 14th Hanoi International Plastics & Rubber Industry Exhibition, running 30 June to 3 July 2027 at the Vietnam Exposition Center (VEC) in Dong Anh, Hanoi.
The four-day trade fair covers injection and extrusion machinery, raw materials, automation, recycling and packaging technology for Northern Vietnam's plastics processors.
It runs alongside HanoiPrintPack 2027, so buyers can compare plastics and printing/packaging suppliers in one trip.
TL;DR
See injection moulding, extrusion, auxiliary equipment, compounds and recycling systems from Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese suppliers without travelling south. The co-located HanoiPrintPack hall adds printing and packaging machinery, useful if you buy both primary processing and downstream packaging. Four days allow machine demonstrations and supplier comparison in one trip.
A booth reaches Northern Vietnam's moulders, compounders, packaging converters and brand owners in a compact two-hall format. The 2026 series attracted 400+ businesses from 11 countries, and the co-located print/pack show widens the buyer mix beyond plastics. Exhibiting makes sense with a local agent or Vietnamese/Chinese-speaking staff; otherwise attend first.

Co-located industrial series
HanoiPlas, HanoiPrintPack and Intelligent Asia Hanoi ran together for the first time in 2026 across VEC Halls 1 and 2.
SourceGreen technology and circular manufacturing
The 2026 edition highlighted biomaterials, recycling and energy-saving systems driven by EPR and export-market rules.
SourceImpact
HanoiPlas matters because it puts international plastics machinery and materials in front of Northern Vietnam processors who would otherwise travel to Ho Chi Minh City or abroad. The 2026 series reached 400+ businesses from 11 countries and 15,000+ sqm; the 2027 edition is the 14th and returns to VEC Dong Anh for four days.
Audience quality
The audience is technical and commercial: moulders, compounders, packaging converters and their procurement teams, plus agents distributing machinery in Vietnam. Because the show is co-located with HanoiPrintPack, some visitors buy printing and packaging rather than plastics processing, so exhibitors should qualify hall traffic. No organiser visitor audit was published.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on having a local channel. Suppliers with a Vietnamese agent or Chinese/Vietnamese-speaking staff can convert four days of machine demos into qualified pipeline; suppliers arriving without follow-up capacity should treat the show as market research. The absence of a published HanoiPlas-only exhibitor count makes year-on-year ROI claims unreliable.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Vietnam is a USD 34.3 billion plastics economy with over 6,000 companies, and Northern Vietnam is its fast-growing moulding and packaging belt. HanoiPlas is the international machinery and materials gateway for that region, while EU export rules and Vietnam's EPR regime push processors toward recycling and energy-saving equipment.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Scale and export orientation of Vietnam plastics
Over 6,000 plastics businesses employ about 300,000 workers; 2025 revenue is estimated at USD 34.3 billion, up nearly 10%, with exports near USD 10 billion to 190+ markets.
What it changes: Processors need capacity and quality upgrades to serve export customers, creating demand for machinery and compounding technology.
SourceEPR and green manufacturing pressure
Extended Producer Responsibility and emission rules in major export markets are pushing Vietnamese plastics firms toward biomaterials, recycling and energy optimisation.
What it changes: Recycling, regrind and energy-saving equipment are now compliance purchases, not only cost projects.
SourceCo-located industrial ecosystems
HanoiPlas, HanoiPrintPack and Intelligent Asia Hanoi ran together for the first time in 2026, linking plastics, printing/packaging, automation and electronics across two VEC halls.
What it changes: One trip covers the full converting chain, which suits buyers sourcing both processing and downstream packaging equipment.
SourceHanoiPlas sits with HanoiPrintPack at VEC and competes for the same buyer budget as VietnamPlas in Ho Chi Minh City. Plan the Hanoi trip around the co-located halls, and use VietnamPlas for southern or larger-scale sourcing.
