2013 Frankfurt (Middle East Dubai) International Hardware and Tools Exhibition

→ Exhibition Introduction:

Dubai, UAE, is the trade hub of the Middle East. Through Dubai, goods can be resold to the Gulf region, Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa, and the Mediterranean, reaching a population of up to 1.6 billion. The Middle East International Hardware and Tools Exhibition is organized by Messe Frankfurt GmbH, and it is an important part of the six major exhibitions organized by the company in Dubai annually in May-June. This exhibition is the only professional hardware and tools exhibition in the Middle East, and it is held concurrently with the Automechanika Dubai. The entire Middle East region is currently in an era of active development and construction. The budget for current construction projects exceeds one trillion US dollars, which has stimulated a growing market demand for hardware tools. The latest forecasts indicate that the annual growth rate of this industry may exceed 11%. The Middle East is experiencing an astonishing construction boom, with nearly hundreds of billions of US dollars to be spent on new housing, apartments, hotels, entertainment facilities, office buildings, shopping malls, and even artificial islands.

In addition, according to two new surveys by the conference, 30% of visitors attend with the aim of learning about new products or trends, 46% come to seek new cooperation opportunities; 17% of visitors are importers, 15% are from factories, and the ratios for building material suppliers and construction engineers are 9% and 7% respectively.

→ Market Overview:

1.   With more and more multinational companies entering the UAE, the number of local commercial office buildings and hotels is continuously increasing, leading to a huge demand for building materials such as aluminum, UPVC, cement, steel, marble, and sanitary ware. The population in the Gulf region grew from 46 million in 1970 to 100 million in 1990, reaching 170 million in 2010, making it one of the fastest-growing regions in the world. High per capita annual income, strong purchasing power, and the increasing maturity of the Gulf market have led to a continuous increase in demand for housing among local residents.

2.   In the Gulf region, Dubai is considered one of the most important trade centers. Firstly, Dubai's location is strategically and competitively very important. Secondly, Dubai implements free and stable economic policies, earning a good reputation among various countries and in the international business community, which encourages domestic and foreign capital to invest in various economic sectors such as commerce, industry, and services. Thirdly, Dubai has further strengthened its strategic position in international trade by building complete infrastructure, improving government service efficiency, and providing public services.
