Dubai is set to host Diflex 2025, a major international leather industry exhibition, as companies look to expand their presence in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) markets. The event comes at a time when global tariff pressures are prompting manufacturers to explore alternative growth regions.
Diflex 2025 will showcase innovations across leather products, machinery, and technology, providing a platform for industry leaders to network, strike deals, and explore collaborations. Exhibitors are optimistic about MEA’s rising demand for premium leather goods, driven by a growing consumer base and increasing industrial development.
Industry analysts say that amid rising import tariffs in key markets, the MEA region presents an attractive opportunity for manufacturers seeking to diversify supply chains and expand sales. Dubai’s strategic location, coupled with its robust logistics infrastructure, makes it an ideal hub for such trade events.
Event organizers expect participation from hundreds of companies worldwide, highlighting the region’s potential as a growth market for leather production, manufacturing technology, and export opportunities.
