01 Exhibition Information
Global Water Expo 2025 is one of the most important water industry events in Saudi Arabia and the entire Middle East.
Organized by DMG Group, the expo will run from Tuesday to Thursday, September 2nd to 4th, 2025, with daily exhibition hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
The expo will be located at the Frontier Exhibition & Convention Center in Riyadh.
02 Exhibition Scale and Influence
The Saudi Water Exhibition and Conference is a leading indicator of Saudi Arabia's water future. As the kingdom's largest water infrastructure trade event, it brings together industry professionals, government officials, and leaders from around the world.
This year's exhibition is expected to attract 500 exhibitors from 40 countries and over 20,000 visitors, with an exhibition area of 25,000 square meters.
The 2025 exhibition will be larger than previous years, reflecting the rapid growth of the global water treatment industry and the growing importance of the Middle East market.
03 Market Background and Opportunities
Saudi Arabia, the largest country in the Middle East, has no rivers and is largely desert, experiencing perennial drought and little rainfall, making water resources extremely scarce.
Despite its water scarcity, Saudi Arabia ranks third in the world in per capita daily water consumption, nearly double the global average.
To meet the needs of its rapidly growing population and support its thriving industrial sector, the Saudi government will continue to make large-scale investments in desalination and water treatment. According to Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, the water sector has become one of Saudi Arabia's strategic priorities. The Saudi government has allocated $80 billion for water projects over the next few years, focusing on restructuring the water sector and developing a comprehensive national water strategy by 2030.
