The Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) has made the announcement that the most important sweets and snacks exhibition in the MENA area would be held again from November 8-10. The exhibition was formerly known as Yummex Middle East, and for its 15th edition, it will continue its run of success under the worldwide brand name ISM Middle East.

The relationship between the show and Koelnmesse, the premier international trade fair and exposition center in Cologne, Germany, as well as its affiliation with the worldwide ISM network, will elevate the event this year, solidifying its position as the region's top business platform for the sweets and snacks sector and enhancing the experience for both visitors and exhibitors.

It is anticipated that the market for snack items would reach $43.8 billion by the year 2026 as a result of the rapidly expanding demand for confectionery goods in the Middle East and African area, which is shown by a CAGR of 4.1%. ISM Middle East will bring together the confectionary and snacks from all over the globe that are the most cutting-edge in terms of flavor and innovation.
