2nd Stainless/Special Steel Trade Summit
Steel Guru as media partner is proud to present 2nd Stainless/Special Steel Trade Summit conference which is organized by Centre for Management Technology on 22nd-23rd April at Radisson SAS Deira Creek Dubai UAE
Globally demand for steel, especially stainless steel is increasing YoY every month as the construction boom has encouraged many traders to set up more shops and outlets in the UAE.
In the last 2 years, the Middle East region has seen tremendous developments with million-dollar projects across industries ranging from desalination, oil & gas, petrochemicals, to building of ultra modern hotels. Many of these construction and infrastructure expansions have invariably been translated into increased demand for stainless and specialty steel.
The World Bank has recently reported that the economics of the Gulf region continue to look upbeat with growth rates forecast to stay at a high of 4.9% in 2007. With such positive sentiments, will the Gulf region present a good potential for producers and traders looking to expand their markets? What are the sourcing considerations and requirements of customers in this region?
As the world demand for stainless/specialty steels increase, what are the dynamics in the vital sectors of other booming countries like China, India, Eastern Europe and South Africa? What are the growth prospects and demand trends in these markets?
