The GCC produced 14 million tons of pipes and tubes
with a domestic consumption of 2.5 million tons used for energy, infrastructure
development, construction projects, water and air conditioning supply.
However, imports from China, India and Europe still
accounted for more than 25% of tube and pipe consumption in the GCC region in
2013.
These figures were released in connection with the
announcement of Tube Arabia 2015 from January 10 to 13, 2015 at the Dubai
International Convention & Exhibition Centre.
The show comes at a time Gulf’s tubes, pipes and
steel industries are enhancing collaboration in logistic operations and human
resource development, thus boost the competitive abilities of their products in
the international markets.
Hailing the cooperation among GCC countries, Satish
Khanna, General Manager, Al Fajer Information and Services, co-organizers of
Tube Arabia with German exhibition organizer Messe Dusseldorf said that it
would help avoid harmful competition and enhance their negotiation power with
importers.
