Koelnmesse and dmg events, two of the world’s most established organisers of international trade exhibitions, announce the launch of the International Dentistry Exhibition and Meeting Saudi Arabia (IDEM Saudi Arabia). The event will take place from 27โ29 September 2026 at RICEC in Riyadh. The launch is driven by strong growth across the dental industry in Saudi Arabia and the wider region as rising demand is propelled by accelerating innovation in cosmetic and implant dentistry, a rapidly expanding network of private clinics, expanding patient volumes and accelerated adoption of digital workflows.
According to IMARC Group, a leading global market research organisation, Saudi Arabia’s dental devices market is projected to reach US$ 286.6 million by 2033, while the consumables segment is forecast to grow to US$ 465.5 million. This growth reflects a market undergoing significant modernisation, with clinics adopting advanced technologies from intraoral scanners to 3D printing, creating strong demand for high-performance materials, systems, and components.
Despite rapid growth, Saudi Arabia has lacked a dedicated, large-scale international platform aligned with the Kingdom’s healthcare transformation driven by Vision 2030, the national reform programme aimed at diversifying the economy and modernising public services. IDEM Saudi Arabia fills this critical gap by creating a dedicated showcase for global innovation and commercial exchange, designed specifically for the Saudi market.

IDEM Saudi Arabia will showcase dentistry solutions from international manufacturers, regional distributors and Saudi suppliers, reflecting the innovation and technical excellence shaping the global dentistry industry. It will feature scientific and applied learning programmes, including continuing professional development pathways, workshops and case-based sessions focused on digital dentistry and aesthetic procedures.
Business and procurement forums will provide insights into purchasing, hospital tendering and clinic expansion trends, while an innovation zone will highlight advances in artificial intelligence diagnostics, three-dimensional printing, biomaterials and next-generation clinical workflows. Buyers’ and networking programmes will facilitate structured B2B meetings, connecting procurement leaders from across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf with global suppliers.
