Carpet industry booming in GCC

The growth of the carpets and floor coverings industry has been bolstered by the major boom in the GCC region's construction sector, which was witnessing a flurry of construction activity on over 1,400 projects worth a staggering $697 billion.

Domotex Middle East, the only dedicated carpets and floor coverings exhibition in the MENA region, is expecting record turnout of exhibitors and visitors for the third edition of the show that will be held from May 25 to 27, 2008, at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition CentreDubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre

Deutsche Messe, organisers of the annual exhibition, announced yesterday 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 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," said Angela Schaschen, Managing Director, Deutsche Messe Dubai Branch.

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.

The exhibition will feature a full range of handmade and machine-made carpets, textile and resilient floor coverings, parquet and wooden flooring, laminates, sports arena flooring, fibres, yarns and textiles, cleaning and application technologies, ceramic tiles, and natural stone and marble floorings.

The trade fair is targeted at wholesalers and retailers of floor coverings, decision makers in the contracting business, planners, architects, interior designers, construction companies, project planners, floor fitters and other skilled workers from the sector.
