The 2025 Miortlant Global Industrial Machinery Tour - UAE Exhibition grandly opened at the Dubai World Trade Centre on June 11, 2025. Attracting nearly 1,000 exhibitors from over 30 countries worldwide, the exhibition set a new record for the number of participating enterprises and buyer matchmaking in the UAE's history, establishing itself as the most influential B2B professional event organized by Chinese enterprises in the Middle East.

GlobalEquipX, a gateway for Chinese enterprises expanding overseas, showcased cutting-edge technologies and solutions of domestic laboratory instruments through exhibition materials of member enterprises including Labonce, Anjunyan, Aifatek, Afapa, and Haixinlan.

Beyond Industrial Machinery: Dubai's Booming Medical Market Opens Doors for Made-in-China Instruments

According to the 2024 Dubai Health Investment Guide released by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA), the UAE relies on imports for over 60% of its precision medical equipment. In 2022, Dubai's medical tourism revenue reached AED 992 million (approximately $269 million), with 39% of visitors from Asia. Top private hospitals like MedClinic have deployed advanced equipment such as fully automated robotic pharmacies, creating a prime opportunity for cost-competitive Chinese instruments—priced 30%-50% lower than European and American brands—to enter the market via the exhibition's matchmaking platform.

Dubai's free zones (e.g., DHCC, JAFZA) offer 100% foreign ownership, customs duty exemptions, and preferential policies through Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects (e.g., the Cardiology Center of Excellence), directly driving high-end equipment procurement. While China's domestic instrument industry faces a capacity utilization rate of less than 70%, Dubai's medical market—with private hospitals doubling in number from 2018-2022 and the precision medical market growing at a 10% CAGR—outlines a clear "breakthrough roadmap" for overseas expansion.

Why Dubai's Medical Market Is a Game-Changer for Chinese Instruments

1.Massive Demand Gap

With over 60% import dependency, the UAE spends $1.5 billion annually on laboratory analysis instruments and pharmaceutical equipment. Chinese products offer a 30%-50% cost advantage over Western counterparts.

2.Policy Dividends

Free zones provide 100% foreign ownership and duty-free imports, while PPP projects open direct procurement channels for high-end equipment.

3.Explosive Market Growth

Private hospitals in Dubai doubled from 2018-2022, and public hospital outpatient visits grew 15% annually, driving a 20%+ annual demand surge for basic laboratory equipment.

The exhibition continues until June 13. GlobalEquipX invites more Chinese instrument enterprises to ride the wave of Middle Eastern infrastructure and medical upgrades, seizing incremental market opportunities together at the "Made-in-China Smart Zone" (Hall 3, Dubai World Trade Centre).
