The Big Four at DOMOTEX Middle East

DOMOTEX Middle East, the international event for carpets and floor coverings in the Middle East, will be held in Dubai from 23 to 25 April. Major international brand manufacturers have already announced their participation in the upcoming event, underlining the global importance of the DOMOTEX brand.

From 23 to 25 April, DOMOTEX Middle East will celebrate its return to one of the world's most important market for carpet and flooring at the well-established Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC). "In April, DOMOTEX Middle East will finally return to Dubai. I am very pleased with our determination and courage to offer the industry a highly attractive platform in this fast-growing market with promising potential," says Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director DOMOTEX at Deutsche Messe AG. The Middle East floor coverings and carpets market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.2 per cent to around US$14.55 billion by 2030, from US$8.6 billion in 2022. “As the world’s leading show for carpets and floor coverings, it’s a must for us as DOMOTEX to offer this platform in Dubai.”

With many of the world's leading brands already confirming their participation, the response to the upcoming event has been huge: DOMOTEX Middle East is the first event to bring together the leading global brands Merinos, Oriental Weavers, Solomon Carpets and Al Abdullatif at a single show in Dubai. More excellent exhibitors such as Farrahi Carpets, Almas Kavir Carpet, Art De Vivre, Standard Carpet, Abu Dhabi National Carpets, Heritage Carpet, Madhu India, Nirmal International, Extraweave, Dodhia Synthetics Limited, Nayyer Industries, Indian art Gallery, Card Monroe and many more will also be showcasing their top products and latest innovations – including contemporary designs, unique pieces and superb craftsmanship.
