DOMOTEX Middle East, the only dedicated carpets and floor coverings exhibition in the MENA region, is expecting to achieve record turnout of exhibitors and visitors for the third edition of the show that will be held from May 25-27, 2008, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Deutsche Messe, organisers of the annual exhibition, have announced that it has already sold 75 per cent of the exhibition space for the upcoming edition, which underlines the popularity and significance of this event in the region.
The growth of the carpets and floor coverings industry has been bolstered by the major boom in the Middle East region's construction sector.
There are currently over 1,400 on-going projects in the Gulf region worth an estimated value of USD 697 billion. Of that, the UAE accounts for 32 per cent, making the construction sector the largest non-oil sector in the country.
The second DOMOTEX Middle East trade fair held in June this year witnessed double digit growth in exhibitor participation and visitor turnout, with 269 exhibitors from 37 countries showcasing their products to more than 6,300 trade visitors from 92 countries.
Angela Schaschen, Managing Director, Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch, said, “The growth of DOMOTEX Middle East year-on-year has been remarkable, and it reaffirms the importance of hosting such a specialised trade fair in the region.
The unprecedented boom in the construction industry has been one of the key factors that have propelled demand for floor coverings in the region, which in turn has significantly amplified the scope for premier international exhibitions like DOMOTEX Middle East.”
“Going by the success of the 2007 edition of the exhibition, the encouraging exhibitor and visitor feedback we have received, and the excellent exhibitor response for next year's edition, we are confident that DOMOTEX 2008 will create new records in terms of exhibitor and visitor participation,” she added.
