PRA

About Us

Industry and market stability has been shaky in recent years, but optimism is high for 2023 as more restrictions are eased. While markets are erring on the side of caution in general, particularly with the emergence of new virus mutations, there is clearly a gradual shift to more intuitive and innovative business practices.

On the other hand, these challenges have put industries' operational resiliency to the test while also preparing them for future disruptions. To name a few key strategies, global conversations are refocusing on sustainability, data-driven solutions, supply chain security, science and research and development (R&D) investments, and financial assets.

Plastics and Rubber Asia (PRA) will guide you through these conversations with the most up-to-date news and information from the plastics, rubber, and related industries in Asia and around the world.

Published since 1985, PRA is available four times in 2023, every quarter, in print and digital formats, with a circulation of over 45,000 copies/edition. Additional complimentary copies are circulated at major international trade shows.

PRA, Asia's premier magazine for the plastics and rubber industries, has been a preferred media partner for numerous international and regional trade shows, including K Show, Chinaplas, TaipeiPlas, Propak Asia, Propak China, PlasPrintPack, PlastIndia, M'sia Plas, Koplas, TPlas, Medical Manufacturing Asia, Indoplas, P&R Indonesia, P&R Vietnam, IPF Japan, JEC Asia, and others.

It is supplemented by the online vertical platforms of Rubber Journal Asia or (www.rubberjournalasia.com) and Injection Moulding Asia or IMA (www.injectionmouldingasia.com). PRA also has a dedicated website in Mandarin (www.plasticsandrubberasia.cn).

PRA is an ad-supported publication, allowing us to keep our non-paid format and serve thousands of readers and subscribers online and in print who can read our publication for free. We appreciate your support and look forward to keeping the positive momentum going throughout the year.
