dmg events, the largest trade exhibition and event organizer in the Kingdom, as part of its phased expansion plan has announced the launch of the newest addition to its lineup of trade exhibitions – Saudi Wood Expo, another important step in helping the country deliver the 2030 Vision.
The new event will serve the woodworking, wood processing, and wood product manufacturing market segment in Saudi Arabia, running as part of a cluster of events at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre (RICEC) from 2-4 September 2024, alongside the Saudi Warehousing and Logistics Expo, bringing several aspects of factory machinery and manufacturing together under one roof.
The event is being launched amidst a significant rise in the demand for wood across various sectors such as building, packaging, furnishings, and transportation. According to Data Bridge Market Research, the wood and woodworking market in the Kingdom is expected to reach a value of $4.1 billion by 2029.
The launch of the Saudi Wood Expo follows the successful introduction of other targeted shows in the Kingdom by dmg events such as the Saudi Signage Expo and Saudi Hospital Design & Build Expo.
“Encouraging the development of local wood industries can contribute to economic diversification by creating jobs, attracting investment, and fostering entrepreneurship,” commented Ben Greenish, Senior Vice President, dmg events. “The Saudi Wood Expo will give local wood businesses invaluable exposure and networking opportunities, connect them with potential customers, suppliers, and investors, enable them to explore international collaborations, establish trade relationships, and expand their geographic reach. It will also be a platform for foreign companies to enter the Saudi market and display their wood products or technologies.”
