DOMOTEX MIDDLE EAST 2025: Heritage craftsmanship, sustainable innovation, and global collaboration
 

DOMOTEX Middle East 2025 has successfully concluded at the Dubai World Trade Centre, reaffirming its status as a leading international platform for innovation, craftsmanship, and collaboration within the global flooring industry.

Over three days, from 22 to 24 April, the event attracted manufacturers, designers, buyers, wholesalers, distributors, and industry leaders from around the world — highlighting Dubai’s growing influence as a global hub for trade and design excellence.

With 100 exhibitors representing key markets across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, the exhibition showcased a diverse range of flooring solutions.

From luxurious handmade carpets and bespoke designs to cutting-edge sustainable materials and advanced technologies, the displays reflected the industry's evolving priorities and the region's demand for premium, design-led, and environmentally conscious products.

The strong attendance of architects, developers, and interior specialists further emphasised the importance of DOMOTEX Middle East as a destination for sourcing innovative solutions aligned with the region's ambitious development projects.

Sonia Wedell-Castellano, Global Director of DOMOTEX at Deutsche Messe AG, commented: "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. We are excited to carry this momentum into DOMOTEX Hannover, where the global flooring community will once again come together to shape the future of the sector."

A hallmark of this year's event was its strong emphasis on heritage craftsmanship, with handmade carpets capturing significant attention across the exhibition floor. Visitors were drawn to rare and large-format silk pieces that reflected the skill and tradition of master weavers alongside notable technical advancements that pushed the boundaries of artisanal production. Sustainability was also a key focus, with exhibitors showcasing a range of innovative solutions designed to reduce environmental impact, promote circularity and align with the growing demand for eco-conscious materials in flooring design.

Kim Koning, Marketing Manager at Condor Group said: ""As a first-time exhibitor at DOMOTEX Middle East, we are pleased with the high level of interest in our collections and the quality of conversations we’ve had. This event has been a valuable gateway for Condor Group to introduce our European-designed flooring solutions to the GCC market. We were especially pleased to welcome a diverse range of visitors from around the world, which highlights the show’s strong international reach. It has been rewarding to share our values with a region that clearly appreciates forward-thinking design and responsible manufacturing."

Laurent Messara, Managing Director at Messara Trading said: "DOMOTEX Middle East 2025 was an outstanding experience. 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 and the insights we gained are invaluable as we continue to innovate and deliver quality to our clients worldwide."

Building on the success of DOMOTEX Middle East 2025, DOMOTEX Hannover 2026, taking place from 19 to 22 January 2026, will continue to offer the global flooring and interior finishing industry a unique opportunity to connect, collaborate and drive forward the next wave of innovation and growth.
