DOMOTEX Middle East 2025 has successfully concluded at the Dubai World Trade Centre, reinforcing its position as a premier international platform for flooring innovation, craftsmanship, and global collaboration.

Held from 22 to 24 April, the event welcomed manufacturers, designers, buyers, wholesalers, distributors, and industry leaders from across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. Over three impactful days, Dubai’s role as a global hub for trade, design, and sustainable innovation was prominently showcased.

With 100 exhibitors presenting a rich variety of flooring solutions—from luxurious handmade carpets to cutting-edge sustainable materials and advanced technologies—the exhibition reflected the industry’s evolving focus on quality, design, and environmental responsibility.

Architects, developers, and interior specialists also attended in strong numbers, further cementing DOMOTEX Middle East’s reputation as a key sourcing destination for design-driven and eco-conscious projects across the region.

Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director of DOMOTEX at Deutsche Messe AG, remarked:

"The success of DOMOTEX Middle East 2025 reflects not only the vibrancy of the global flooring market but also Dubai's pivotal role as a centre for international business and design. This platform has enabled meaningful connections, inspired new ideas, and celebrated the craftsmanship and innovation that continue to drive our industry forward."

One of the standout themes of this year’s edition was the celebration of heritage craftsmanship. Handmade carpets, including rare large-format silk pieces, drew significant attention, demonstrating both traditional artistry and technical advancements in production. Sustainability was also a major focus, with many exhibitors presenting innovative solutions to reduce environmental impact and promote circular design practices.

First-time exhibitor Kim Koning, Marketing Manager at Condor Group, expressed satisfaction with the event:

"We are pleased with the high level of interest in our collections and the quality of conversations we’ve had. DOMOTEX Middle East has provided an invaluable gateway for us to introduce our European-designed flooring solutions to the GCC market."

Similarly, Laurent Messara, Managing Director at Messara Trading, commented:

"The strong participation from across the GCC and beyond allowed us to present our latest designs and sustainable flooring solutions to a highly engaged audience. The connections we made are invaluable as we continue to innovate and deliver quality worldwide."

Following the successful conclusion of the Dubai edition, attention now turns to DOMOTEX Hannover 2026, scheduled from 19 to 22 January 2026. As the world’s only truly international trade fair dedicated to flooring and interior finishing, DOMOTEX continues to unite professionals across continents through its editions in Shanghai, Hannover, and Dubai—driving innovation, collaboration, and excellence across the global flooring industry.
