LabSpace records 30% revenue growth driven by

UAE’s rising student enrolment boom

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.
