MECAM Expo 2025: A Catalyst for Composites & Advanced Materials Growth in 2025
The advanced composites market in the MEA region is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%, reaching approximately USD 2.7 billion by 2028. This growth is primarily fueled by increasing demand across various sectors, including oil, civil engineering, and electronics. Currently, the MEA region accounts for 5.2% of the global composites market in terms of revenue (Source: Data Bridge Market Research). The market is segmented into key regions, including South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of the Middle East & Africa. It is further divided by end-use industries, such as automotive, aerospace and defense, wind energy, construction, marine, sporting goods, and others.
The UAE stands out as a leading market within this sector, benefiting from technological advancements and substantial investments in infrastructure projects (airports and construction), transportation (transportation composites hold a 14.5% market share), technological advancements (innovations in ATL and AFP), government support (investment in local manufacturing capabilities) and more!
With these rapid developments, the Middle East Composites and Advanced Materials Expo – jointly organised by Media Fusion and Crain Communications – will return for its 3rd edition at Dubai World Trade Centre, from September 15-17, 2025. The event will once again bring together the entire composite value chain, including raw materials, equipment, tools, ancillary products, intermediate products, engineering, and R&D, providing a comprehensive – and larger – platform for the industry.
The three-day exhibition and conference will be co-located with the UTECH Middle East Foam and Polyurethane Expo and the Base Oils Lubricants and Additives Technology Show, creating a unique synergy between manufacturers and end-users across these overlapping industries.
