A centre for regional and international trade, Dubai will now witness something extraordinary for the first time ever – the BRANDS OF INDIA show. Exhibition of 150+ Indian Apparel Brands, both established and new, all under one single roof – at the prestigious Dubai World Trade Centre.
Given its magnitude, the show is being held for Distributors, Wholesalers, Retailers, E-commerce platforms, and those seeking Franchising opportunities. It abounds with opportunities aplenty to connect, network and partner with the cream of the Indian apparel industry.”
“Indian Apparels have been taking huge strides within the GCC countries and African markets. Apparel imports in these 2 regions were valued at US$ 11460 M and US$ 4850 M respectively in 2022. Indian apparel exports to these regions were US$ 2426 M and US$ 913 M making India’s contribution a solid 21% and 19%. And, an added incentive to source Indian apparel is also the fact that imports from India are duty-free due to the benefits offered by CEPA.”
