LabSpace records 30 per cent revenue growth

driven by UAE’s rising student enrolment boom

By dailyguardian.aeJuly 17, 2025 3 Mins Read

The company is set to expand its footprint into Saudi Arabia and Qatar to address growing

market demand across the GCC.

July 17, 2025: LabSpace, Centena Group’s turnkey laboratory solutions specialist, recorded
a 30 per cent year-on-year surge in revenue, driven by the UAE’s growing demand for cutting-

edge laboratory infrastructure and a rise in project volume, especially within the educational

sector. In addition, the company is planning a focused expansion into Saudi Arabia and Qatar,
where demand for both educational and industrial R&D infrastructure is rising.

According to a recent education industry report, the total number of students in the GCC is

estimated to rise by 1.1 million to reach 14.2 million by 2027. This surge is already visible in

Dubai’s 20 per cent increase in student enrolments during the 2024-2025 academic year.
Higher education enrolment in the emirate is also projected to more than double by 2040,

creating a surge in the number of schools and universities, along with demand for advanced

lab infrastructure, to enhance STEM education.
