The three-day exhibition has come to an end, but business opportunities continue to grow — this is not just the conclusion of an exhibition, but also a new starting point for a number of Chinese brands to 'accelerate their launch' in the Middle East market.

China's New Products Debut in Dubai
Sparking a Wave of 'Made in China' Showcases

Nearly 500 high-quality Chinese companies gathered in Dubai, showcasing China's manufacturing 'strength' and 'new creativity' across five core categories: home and daily necessities, kitchenware, beauty and personal care, outdoor and leisure sports, and gifts and office supplies.

A variety of new products tailored to the Middle Eastern market made their debut on-site. From functional design to aesthetic style, and from cost-effectiveness to customization capabilities, they precisely meet local purchasing needs, becoming a focal point that buyers repeatedly stop to check out.
