United Arab Emirates (UAE) Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2023-2027
Summary
GlobalData expects UAE’s construction industry to remain strong in 2023 and 2024, with growth of 3.3% in real terms projected this year and 4% in 2024, supported by public and private sector investments in the construction of major development projects in the transportation, energy, and housing sectors, coupled with an improvement in tourism activity. High oil prices, the net zero carbon emission target, and growth in the property markets, will be key drivers for the construction industry’s growth in 2023. In August 2023, State oil giant Abu Dhabi National Oil Company's gas unit, ADNOC Gas (ADNOCGAS.AD), announced that it awarded a AED13.2 billion ($3.6 billion) contract to a joint venture between National Petroleum Construction Company Co PJSC (NPCC), owned by Abu Dhabi state fund ADQ, and Spain's Tecnicas Reunidas (TRE.MC) to expand its gas processing infrastructure in the UAE.
The UAE construction industry is expected to register annual growth of 3.9% from 2025 to 2027, supported by investments on infrastructure, renewable energy, oil and gas, housing, industrial and tourism projects. The country’s construction industry will also be supported by the federal budget of AED192 billion ($52.3 billion) from 2024-26, which was approved by the UAE’s Cabinet in October 2023. Out of the total, the federal budget for 2024 includes an allocation of AED64.4 billion ($17.5 billion), which is 1.6% more than that of 2023. Moreover, in early-November 2023, the Dubai government approved its AED79.1 billion ($21.6 billion) 2024 Budget, a 34% increase on the spending planned for 2023. Moreover, as part of the “We the UAE 2031” vision, the government aims to implement a series of developmental and economic projects to double the country’s GDP from AED1.5 trillion ($405.7 billion) in 2022 to AED3 trillion ($816.9 billion) by 2031 and increase the country’s non-oil exports from AED366 billion ($100 billion) to AED800 billion ($217.8 billion) during the same period. Over the forecast period, the growth in the construction industry will also be bolstered by the UAE government’s progressive initiatives, such as Energy Strategy 2050, the Sheikh Zayed Housing Program, and the Dubai Tourism Strategy.
