Under the patronage of the Ministry of Health and supported by Vision 2030 and the KSA Health Sector Transformation Program, the Global Health Exhibition (GHE) returns to the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre from 26-29 October 2026.
New High Growth Sectors Debut: Opportunities for Exhibitors
GHE is strengthening its position in Saudi Arabia's healthcare market by launching three new specialist zones: Dermatology & Aesthetics, Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation, and Dental to bring every part of the healthcare ecosystem in one place.
The Dermatology & Aesthetics market is projected to grow from US$183.8 million in 2025 to US$361.9 million by 2034 (7.82% CAGR), reflecting rising consumer demand for advanced aesthetic treatments.
The Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation segment is set to expand from US$302.3 million in 2023 to US$451.8 million by 2032 (5.9% CAGR), driven by rising demand for mobility solutions and rehabilitation services.
Meanwhile, the Dental sector is forecast to grow from US$2 billion in 2022 to US$3 billion by 2027 (8.4% CAGR), highlighting strong demand for dental services, technology, and preventive care.
These rapidly expanding markets offer significant opportunities for exhibitors and stakeholders in Saudi Arabia, reinforcing GHE’s role as a key platform for connecting industry leaders, showcasing innovation, and capitalising on Saudi Arabia’s accelerating healthcare transformation.
