Construction Sector Booming Fuel Middle East & Africa Explosion Proof Equipment Market
The construction sector has been witnessing a decent growth rate in the recent time. Governments of various countries are taking initiatives to support the construction industry. The increase in the construction of commercial and residential buildings is expected to provide growth opportunities for the market in various regions. Residential and commercial housing construction is continuously growing in various regions, majorly in developing countries. For instance, Saudi Arabia leads the MENA region’s construction project pipeline, holding 39% of the region’s projects worth US$ 1.5 trillion. The residential construction in Saudi Arabia is growing. For instance, Norlana is a new ultra-modern residential community being developed in northwest Saudi Arabia as part of NEOM. Situated on the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba, Norlana will consist of 711 properties. This will create a massive demand for the explosion-proof equipment. Strong economic conditions and low housing loan interest rates will help maintain the expansion of construction activities in the world. These factors are boosting commercial and residential housing construction activities, increasing the need for explosion-proof equipment in buildings. For instance, BMarko Structures Inc. provides blast-resistant modular buildings. These blast-resistant modules are explosion-proof portable buildings designed to withstand blast loads. Thus, the growth of the construction sector is anticipated to create opportunities for the Middle East & Africa explosion-proof equipment market players because of the need for explosion-proof equipment solutions in commercial and residential buildings.
Middle East & Africa Explosion Proof Equipment Market Overview
The MEA explosion-proof equipment market is segmented into South Africa, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and the Rest of MEA. The increase in oil and gas projects across the region has boosted the demand for explosion-proof equipment. For instance, currently, oil and gas account for almost 95% of electricity generation in the Middle East and North Africa. Thermal plants in the region consume over 290 billion cubic meters of gas, or more than one-third of its gas production, and 1.75 million barrels a day of oil. This dominance of fossil fuels in Middle Eastern and North African producer economies makes the emissions intensity of their power generation almost one-quarter higher than the global average.
A few of the major oil & gas projects in the region are the Upper Zakum Offshore Oil Field Development project, Ruwais Refinery Complex project, Ras Laffan Refinery project, Rumaila Oil Field project, Al Zour Refinery project, Jafurah Gas Field project, Al Zour Refinery, Green Hydrogen Ammonia Plant project, and Qatar’s North Field East LNG project, among others. The oil & gas industry often requires workers to operate in hazardous locations where flammable gases, liquids, or combustible dust or vapors exist in sufficient quantities; in such areas, safety is the priority for workers and operators. Thus, to combat the high potential for ignition in these locations, manufacturers of explosion-proof equipment create and rigorously test explosion-proof assets.
