From Ingredients to Finished Products - The Complete Value Chain

The Region’s Only Dedicated, Trade Platform for the
Soaps & Detergents Manufacturing Industry

The soaps, detergents, and hygiene manufacturing industry across MENA, Africa, and South Asia has long lacked a focused, technical, and business-driven trade platform—one designed specifically for manufacturers, not just product display. 

SoapDet Manufacturing Expo 2026 has been created to fill that gap. 

As the region’s first exhibition dedicated exclusively to the soaps and detergents manufacturing ecosystem, the Expo brings together raw materials, formulation science, processing and automation, packaging solutions, private label manufacturing, and finished products—all under one roof. 

Hosted in Dubai, SoapDet Manufacturing Expo 2026 is organised by Media Fusion – the long-standing publisher of Clean Middle East magazine. The event serves as an end-to-end platform for sourcing, partnerships, technology transfer, and market expansion, enabling industry stakeholders to connect, collaborate, and scale across one of the world’s fastest-growing hygiene and home care markets.
