Dubai International Pharmaceutical Exhibition (DUPHAT)

The Dubai International Pharmaceutical Exhibition (DUPHAT) is the largest and most authoritative B2B trade show in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, covering the entire pharmaceutical industry chain. Organized by INDEX Conferences & Exhibitions, the 31st edition (2026) will be held from March 24-26 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

The exhibition focuses on "one-stop connection across the entire industry chain." The previous edition attracted 1,376 global exhibitors and 31,680 professional visitors from 101 countries. The accredited CME/CPD scientific conferences and professional seminars are held concurrently. Exhibition areas cover APIs and excipients, pharmaceutical technology and equipment, finished formulations, and biotechnology, with a dedicated VitaShow Dubai zone focusing on dietary supplements and health products.

As a key springboard for entering the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the African pharmaceutical market, the exhibition focuses on connecting regional distributors, hospitals, and government agencies. It provides a precise platform for business negotiations and technical exchanges for pharmaceutical companies, equipment manufacturers, service providers, and purchasers, focusing on key issues such as GMP compliance, localized production, WHO-PQ certification, and GCC registration.
