Middle East Construction Market by Type (Renovation and New Construction), and by Sector (Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Industrial)–Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2053
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 Middle East, comprising nations such as Oman, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, is witnessing a plethora of construction developments aimed at fostering overall market expansion. Oman, in particular, is experiencing a notable surge in its construction sector attributed to heightened investments in major infrastructure ventures. Remarkable megaprojects in 2023 include Rathath (Drizzle) Boulevard in Dhofar, Rimal Park in South Al Batinah, and Aames Bay Development in Musandam, all contributing significantly to the burgeoning construction market in Oman.
However, the construction sector faces formidable challenges stemming from the intricate labyrinth of government regulations and permitting procedures. These processes often entail navigating through multiple layers of authority, ranging from local municipalities to federal agencies. The regulatory landscape encompasses a wide array of prerequisites, including zoning regulations, environmental assessments, compliance with building codes, and safety standards. Delays in obtaining permits, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and disparities across jurisdictions can significantly extend project timelines and escalate costs. Moreover, fluctuations in regulations or sudden policy changes can disrupt ongoing projects and discourage potential investments. For instance, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees various aspects of the construction sector, including air quality, waste disposal, and water regulations, providing compliance assistance resources throughout different phases of construction.
Conversely, the construction industry is undergoing a transformative shift propelled by digitalization and the widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM). These advancements are fundamentally revolutionizing project management practices by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency, precision, and collaboration. BIM, a sophisticated 3D modeling tool, empowers stakeholders to create and manage digital representations of structures and infrastructure, thereby facilitating improved coordination and communication among project teams. For example, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) introduced the U.S. National Building Information Management (BIM) Program in September 2022. This initiative is aimed at modernizing the construction industry and achieving unparalleled levels of industrial efficiency through digitalization. By bridging the digitalization gap in the U.S. construction sector, this program aims to streamline work processes, ultimately enhancing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, resilience, and safety in both construction and maintenance activities.
