driven by UAE’s rising student enrolment boom

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.

In response to the strong market demand, LabSpace has been rapidly expanding its portfolio
introducing new solutions that ensure functionality, safety and innovation. These include flexible
benches, modular storage systems, enhanced weight-bearing capacities and colour-optimised
solutions to meet the evolving demands of different sectors.
