Summary

Timetric’s 'Construction in the UAE, Key Trends and Opportunities to 2021' report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the UAE construction industry, including:

• The UAE construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type and construction activity

Synopsis

In real terms, the UAE construction industry posted positive growth during the review period (2012–2016). Construction activity experienced a slight slowdown during 2015, owing to the impact of low oil prices. In addition, economic slowdown in China weighed on the UAE’s economic performance.

Despite modest economic growth, the country’s construction industry registered positive growth during the review period, driven by the government’s investments in transport, residential and commercial infrastructure projects.

The industry is expected to expand over the forecast period (2017–2021), driven by positive developments in regional economic conditions and subsequent improvements in investor confidence. Moreover, the government’s various large-scale investments in transport and commercial infrastructure projects on the back of the upcoming ‘World Expo 2020’ will be a major driver for the industry’s growth over the forecast period.

The industry’s output value in real terms increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.38% during the review period, and is expected to post a CAGR of 4.68% over the forecast period

The government’s plans to diversify from an oil-dependent economy, while focusing on growth in non-oil sectors, are expected to drive investment in the construction industry over the forecast period.
