The MENA Design Outlook report highlights the impact of the design sector on finance and in driving new cultural and technological outlooks.
At a conference held during Dubai Design Week, Dubai Design and Fashion Council (DDFC) in partnership with Dubai Design District (d3) launched the MENA Design Outlook report highlighting the impact of the design sector on finance and in driving new cultural and technological outlooks.
In the presence of HH Sheikha Latifa Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, vice chairman of the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, the study’s findings were announced on the first day of Dubai Design Week and examines the design landscape across the MENA region with a focus on the five major countries which are key contributors to the region’s design sector: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, and Lebanon.
The research findings demonstrate the vast potential, depth and progressive growth rate of the MENA design industry which currently has a market value of above $100bn with an expected average growth rate of 6% - twice that of the global design sector – signaling tremendous opportunity across the region and, locally, for Dubai to become of the strongest of design capitals.
