Summary

GlobalData expects the UAE’s construction industry to expand by 3.3% in real terms this year, following an annual growth of 2% in 2022, supported by improvements in the country’s oil receipts, investment in renewable energy projects in line with the 2050 net zero target, growth in the real estate sector, and deepening regional integration.

The industry is expected to register average annual growth of 3.9% from 2024 to 2027, supported by investment in infrastructure, renewable energy, oil and gas, housing, industrial and tourism projects. The government announced a plan in November 2022 to implement a series of projects aimed at accelerating the UAE's development and transforming it into a comprehensive hub in all sectors, as part of the “We the UAE 2031” vision. As part of this vision, the government aims to double the country’s GDP from AED1.5 trillion ($408.7 billion) in 2022 to AED3 trillion ($816.9 billion) by 2031, increase the country’s non-oil exports to AED800 billion ($217.8 billion), and raise the contribution of the tourism sector to the country’s GDP to AED450 billion ($122.5 billion) by 2031.
