The November 29th, 2017 marks a successful ending of the four-day World Excellent Exhibition directed by MEI Awards. As the Middle East’s most influential and the largest construction, building materials and service exhibition, the annual BIG5 is the only place to meet thousands of international suppliers in your dedicated product sectors, do business and get the latest industry insight. It is reported that 2,586 exhibitors from 59 countries have participated in the exhibition, including about 1,200 Chinese exhibitors, accounting for a third of the total exhibitors.

In recent years, the construction market in the Middle East has continued to develop rapidly, which pulls construction equipment, materials, engineering machinery and other related products of strong demands. The local building materials market products are completely unable to meet the domestic demand, and 60% of the building materials are imported, mainly from China, South Korea, India.,etc

The MEI Organizing Committee selected 15 products of high quality who have won 2016 and 2017 awarded construction products and displayed them in here and more than 100 selected awards products have been showed online at the same time. Among them, the Basin faucet, PPR pipe and fittings, artificial grass, and the acoustic panel have attracted the attention of many buyers at the scene.

Purchasers’ feedback

Most of the buyers are professional buyers, engineering contractors and distributors.  They are both concentrated in the building materials and building hardware industries. For different regions they also have difference demand for products, such as the Indian and Pakistani, they concerned more about the price, and the local buyers concerned the quality of the products.  

Most buyers have a relatively broad demand for products, not limited to a certain product. But they still very concerned about the quality of the products. Many buyers gave their feedback that Chinese products were always defined with bad quality in the past. However, many enterprises in the pursuit of product quality is higher and higher and many buyers in the Middle East have turned their attention to Chinese market recently. Gradually they found that China also has good products and China can also be selected as one of their suppliers.

Chinese suppliers’ feedback

In addition to our familiar Chinese brands, we are pleasantly surprised to find that the other Chinese enterprises also showed their excellent performance in the products’ quality, products, design, and promotion. Their products vary from Smart toilets, lawn, steel fiber, showers, faucets, wall paint, floor and so on. We can see that Chinese suppliers have raised their awareness of brands’ promotion.

Many participated exhibitors speak highly of MEI Awards brands that the activity we organized can help and support enterprises to build their own brands and to promote their products to foreign countries. Thus, more and more foreign purchasers will have opportunity to take a look at our high-quality products which show Chinese products’ innovation. At the scene, Nearly 100 Chinese enterprises have signed up to participate in the selection of China's manufacturing in 2018. We expect to see more outstanding products emerge this year!

In 2018, We will continue to show the beauty of China to the global world. For more information, please visit our website: meiawards.org
