Middle East Construction Market Overview

The Middle East Construction Market size was valued at USD 298.00 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 401.17 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.9% from 2024 to 2030.

The construction market, known interchangeably as infrastructure market, plays a crucial role in the economy, overseeing the entire lifecycle of diverse physical structures, encompassing infrastructure, buildings, and facilities. This industry undertakes a broad spectrum of projects, spanning from residential, commercial, and industrial developments to civil engineering and institutional infrastructure ventures.

Collaboration among numerous stakeholders, including architects, engineers, contractors, suppliers, developers, investors, and government agencies, is indispensable for its functioning. Positioned for growth, the industry is being propelled by an increased focus on environmentally sustainable practices, such as the incorporation of green building materials and energy-efficient designs. Additionally, factors such as the rising per capita income in emerging economies and low-interest rates in developed nations are expected to further drive the expansion of the infrastructure market.

Numerous Infrastructure Developments Drives the Market Growth

The Middle East region, including countries such as Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, is experiencing numerous infrastructure developments aimed at boosting overall market growth. In Oman, the infrastructure market is expanding significantly due to increased investments in large infrastructure projects. Notable megaprojects in 2023 include Rathath (Drizzle) Boulevard in Dhofar, Rimal Park in South Al Batinah, and Aames Bay Development in Musandam. These substantial projects are driving the growth of the infrastructure industry within Oman.

 

Significant Investments is Fueling the Growth of the Market

The expansion of the construction market in Saudi Arabia is attributed to a substantial increase in investments towards infrastructure activities. In 2023, the infrastructure sector's investment reached a significant USD 18 billion, as reported by the Global Infrastructure Hub. The energy sector led the way with a notable USD 7.6 billion investment, followed by the road transport sector with USD 5.6 billion. This investment trend is expected to continue, likely fueling the ongoing growth and development of the infrastructure market in Saudi Arabia.

 

Regulatory Complexities Hindering Market Growth

Navigating regulatory complexities presents a significant challenge in the construction market. Infrastructure projects often face hurdles due to the intricate network of government regulations and permitting procedures. Infrastructure initiatives require numerous permits and approvals from governmental bodies at local, regional, and national levels.

These mandates include adherence to zoning regulations, environmental assessments, compliance with building codes, safety standards, and various other regulatory requirements. Lengthy permit acquisition processes, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and regulatory disparities among different jurisdictions can significantly prolong project timelines and inflate costs. Moreover, fluctuations in regulations or unexpected policy changes can disrupt ongoing projects and deter potential investments.

Integration of Digitalization and BIM Presents Lucrative Opportunity for Market Expansion

The construction market in Middle East is undergoing a significant transformation with the integration of digitalization and the adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Advanced technologies such as BIM are enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration across diverse projects. BIM, a sophisticated 3D modeling tool, enables stakeholders to generate and manage digital representations of structures and infrastructure, facilitating improved coordination and communication among project teams.

For instance, in September 2022, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) launched the Middle East National Building Information Management (BIM) Program. This initiative aims to revolutionize the infrastructure market, achieving unprecedented levels of industrial efficiency through digitalization. By addressing the inadequacy of digitalization within the Thai infrastructure sector, the program seeks to streamline lifecycle work processes, enhancing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, resilience, and safety for infrastructure and maintenance projects.
