The regional market

With a flourishing market of residential and commercial spaces, coupled with a rich retail market, the 2008 interiors market is expected to exceed a staggering US$2.7 billion.

The UAE, with a buoyant construction sector, is the second largest market for furniture and interiors attracting US $848 million worth of goods.

Continued growth

Due to Abu Dhabi’s thriving economy and rapid developments the capital of the UAE has recently been branded an “emerging centre of economic power" by the Harvard Business Review. The Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority revealed the details of its five-year strategic plan up to the year 2012, aimed at boosting the number of visitors to the UAE capital to 2.7million.

Official figures show that imports of furniture and interiors products to the Gulf region (which exceeded US$6.5 billion in 2006), are rising at a significant rate. It is expected that the interiors and construction sector as a whole will grow to a trillion-dollar market in the next few years. The Middle East interiors market is now very close to well-established markets such as the EU, the USA and Japan. (arabianbusiness.com)
