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 ongoing projects in the Gulf region worth an estimated value of US$ 697 billion. Of that, the UAE accounts for 32 per cent, making the construction sector the largest non-oil sector in the country.
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 this year’s edition, we are confident that DOMOTEX Middle East 2008 will create new records in terms of exhibitor and visitor participation,” she added.
Special events will be staged again to add value to the visit to the show. The activity Creative Flooring will showcase numerous flooring solutions in an educational and entertaining way. The questions of how to properly install various kinds of floor coverings will be answered by demonstrations by professionals and interaction with the attendees. The themes in Creative Flooring in 2008 will be hotel flooring and office flooring.
In the new event Designers Corner architects and designers are welcome to attend showcases, seminars and displays of design floor coverings. Designers will be inspired in a special atmosphere with a designers lounge where the hottest projects in the GCC will be presented.
The Designers Corner is supported by the American University in Dubai (AUD) / Department of Interior Design. The best works of the students will be displayed in the designers lounge.
