40% Booked Already: Why Hive Furniture Show 2026 Is the Gateway to the MEA Furniture Boom

The numbers don’t lie: 40% of Hive Furniture Show 2026’s exhibition space is already sold, and we’re still months away from opening day. Why the early rush? Because HIVE is the region’s most focused gateway into the booming Middle East and Africa (MEA) furniture industry.

From furniture manufacturers and home accessories brands to exporters and sourcing agents, industry players are locking in their space now—and here’s why you should too.

The MEA Furniture Market Is Exploding

The Middle East & Africa is one of the fastest-growing furniture markets globally, driven by:

• A combined population of over 1.5 billion across the Middle East and Africa.
• Rapid urbanization and construction booms, especially in the Gulf, Egypt, Kenya, and Nigeria.
• A rising middle class, hungry for quality furniture, interior design, and decor solutions.
• Massive demand for home accessories, modular furniture, and smart design—particularly in residential, hospitality, and commercial spaces.

The Middle East furniture market alone is projected to hit USD  41.6 billion by 2033, up from USD 28.6 billion in 2024—growing at a steady 4.25% CAGR.
