Taking place from 22–24 April at the Dubai World Trade Centre, this show offers an array of flooring solutions for a huge number of international visitors
Domotex Middle East returned to Dubai last year after a thirteen-year hiatus and it returns to the same venue, with an expanded footprint, in April. This reflects a surge in demand for high-quality, bespoke flooring solutions, particularly in the region’s retail and hospitality sectors which place emphasis on innovation, luxury and sustainability. The flooring and carpet market in the Middle East is projected to grow at an annual rate of 7.8% to reach $21.52 billion US by 2033. This is reflected in the show’s specialised programmes aimed at the retail and hospitality industries, consisting of networking opportunities with top-tier buyers, architects and designers, and a continued focus on artisanal craftsmanship and sustainable solutions.
Sonia Wedell-Castellano, global director of Domotex at Deutsche Messe AG, said: ‘Domotex Middle East 2024 underscored Dubai’s pivotal role as a global trade hub. For 2025, we are elevating the event with an expanded focus on handmade carpets, bespoke products, and innovations tailored to key sectors like retail and hospitality. Our goal is to redefine flooring innovation while fostering meaningful collaborations across the industry. In 2025, Domotex Middle East will continue to unite tradition and modernity, inspiring the flooring community to push boundaries and create transformative experiences. By bringing together global expertise and regional demand, the event will cement its position as the go-to platform for industry innovation and collaboration.’
Among the confirmed exhibitors for the 2025 edition of Domotex Middle East are: Abu Dhabi National Carpet Factory, Heritage Carpet, Solomon Carpet, Farrahi Carpet and Nirmal International.
