The demand is generated by growing regional economies that are focusing on diverse industrial sectors to boost economic growth.

• The tool & mold-making sector serves several industrial segments, establishing it as a strong indicator of the manufacturing base. The manufacturing sector is a major contributor to the UAE’s GDP and accounts for a major chunk of exports
• A key market for molding equipment and products, GCC’s medical equipment manufacturing and packaging supplies sector is estimated at nearly US$ 2 billion in 2011, while in the Middle East it is estimated at over US$ 6 billion
