(DUBAI) - Arab Health 2025, the Middle East’s largest healthcare event and congress, will welcome a record-breaking international audience this year. The latest statistics reveal that the global healthcare market will be worth US$780 billion by 2030.

According to insights from Verified Market Research, the consumer healthcare market was valued at US$360 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 780 Billion By 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8.8% during the forecast period 2024 to 2030.

Ross Williams, Group Event Director, Informa Markets, commented: “In the last five decades, Arab Health has grown alongside the incredible expansion of the global healthcare market, evolving from a regional exhibition to a pivotal event on the international stage. With the anticipated market growth, Arab Health, more than ever, has an integral role in facilitating global business and addressing the latest healthcare trends worldwide.

“With participants from over 180 countries expected, the 2025 edition underscores how Arab Health remains at the heart of this dynamic industry, fostering collaboration and innovation that drives healthcare advancement globally. As the sector continues to evolve, Arab Health stands as a vital platform for connecting ideas, technologies, and people shaping the future of healthcare.”

This year, Arab Health, which takes place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from 27 – 30 January, will host over 40 country pavilions, and more than 180 countries will participate. Making their country pavilion debut in 2025, Morocco and Latvia will be joined by long-standing participants, the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia, which will increase their presence significantly with additional floor space. Other country pavilions for the 2025 edition include the USA, China, India, Singapore, and Taiwan, amongst others.

This year will also see a range of first-time international exhibitors, including Daigo, Fapomed, Global Medical Technology, Global Pharma Healthcare, Levity Products, Mark Ortho Care, and more, who will take up residence in the Al Mustaqbal Hall, which is being utilized for the time as part of the new exhibitor zone.

“During our 20-year tenure at Arab Health, we've witnessed a significant evolution in the healthcare industry, driven by technological integration and international collaboration fostered at the event. The UAE and the wider Middle East region have grown significantly, with the healthcare sector expanding to meet the demands of a burgeoning population and increasing healthcare needs.

“Arab Health has played a crucial role in driving this transformation by facilitating extensive knowledge exchange among global healthcare leaders and showcasing cutting-edge technologies shaping the future of healthcare delivery in the region and beyond.”
