GCC Construction Market Trends & Drivers:

The construction market in the GCC is growing like never before following an ambitious national vision and the huge investments in the infrastructure. The vision 2030 and vision 2071 in Saudi Arabia and UAE respectively are the catalysts behind hundreds of billions of dollar transformational projects. The NEOM (USD 500 billion), The Red Sea Project, and Qiddiya in Saudi Arabia and the expansion of Expo City in Dubai and Yas Island projects in Abu Dhabi are generating colossal construction service demand. More than 50 percent of all contract awards within the region are attributed to these projects, and Saudi Arabia has been leading in terms of contract awards, having been awarded USD 54 billion in contracts, where no other GCC countries have been witnessing a rise in construction activities in the recent past.

Sustainable and smart building is transforming the building industry in the GCC. Certifications such as LEED and Estidama have turned into a government requirement on buildings, and have spurred the use of green building materials and energy-saving technologies. The implementation of smart cities in the region demands holistic IoT, building management system, and sustainable infrastructure. The Net Zero 2071 strategy of the UAE and the Saudi Green Initiative of Saudi Arabia are pushing the switch to renewable energy in construction and solar-built buildings and carbon-free construction methods, which opens new segments and prospects to specialized contractors.

Construction 4.0 and other digital transformation technologies are transforming a conventional approach to building in the GCC. The use of Building Information Modeling (BIM) has become the norm, and the market of the GCC BIM is increasing at a 12.70% CAGR. Modular and prefabricated methods of construction are also becoming popular and the project time can be lowered by 30-50% and the quality can also be controlled. The combination of advanced construction machinery, robotics, and the on-site monitoring using drones are increasing the standards of productivity and safety. Construction 4.0 GCC market is expected to have USD 1,892.28 billion by 2035 as the region has shown its desire to use technology in its construction practice.
