Exhibition Introduction

      The Dubai Big Five Industry Exhibition (BIG5, referred to as the Dubai Big Five Industry Exhibition) was first held in 1980. It is one of the largest and most influential construction and building materials exhibitions in the Middle East, covering building materials, hardware tools, ceramic sanitary ware, air conditioning and refrigeration, construction machinery and other industries. After nearly 40 years of development, it has become a weathervane for the Middle East construction industry exhibition. Today, the booming and sustained development of the construction market in the Middle East has driven a strong demand for construction equipment, materials, engineering machinery and vehicles, and has attracted global attention.

      The total area of the last 2023 Dubai Big Five Industry Exhibition was nearly 110,000 square meters. There were more than 2,600 exhibitors from more than 150 countries including China, South Africa, Turkey, India, the United States, Russia, Australia, Germany, Italy, Singapore, France, etc., with a total of 55,000 exhibitors. More than 110 exchanges and seminars were held during the exhibition.

      The 45th Dubai Middle East Five Industry Exhibition will attract 3,000 exhibitors from more than 100 countries around the world, with more than 22,000 exhibitors and an exhibition area of more than 100,000 square meters. It will become one of the largest and most widely-reaching exhibitions in the Middle East.

Market Introduction

      There are currently more than 23,000 active projects in the Gulf construction market, with a total value of more than US$2.3 trillion. These projects run through urban construction (mainly buildings), industry, transportation, oil & gas, and public facilities. The UAE accounts for 61.5%, ranking first among the Gulf countries. Currently, there are 543 active projects in the UAE hotel industry, worth US$67.5 billion, accounting for 13% of the total value of active projects in the construction industry. In 2018, the UAE announced projects worth US$2.37 billion. Some of the announced famous projects include: North Barrier Resort (located on Abu Dhabi Sand Island), Rove Mina Seyahi (located on Dubai Marina and Deira Island).

      By 2027, the value of the UAE construction market is expected to reach US$133.53 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 4.69% during the forecast period (2022-2027). 60% of the UAE's building materials products rely on imports;

      According to the <Middle East Economic Digest>According to the data released by the (MEED) GCC Construction Industry Report (2014 Edition), the award amount of construction projects in the GCC countries will reach 250 billion US dollars in 2030, and the civil construction market will recover significantly. The report pointed out that the civil construction market has become the majority of the engineering projects in the GCC countries, mainly due to the growing economy and population in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. Countries have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure construction and upgrading. In the medium term, the strong trend of high oil prices and population growth will not change, and these factors have also promoted the prosperity of the market.

     The local building materials market in the UAE mainly responds to the needs of large-scale construction projects, with wholesale as the main business and retail as the supplement.

     The current supply of building materials products cannot meet the needs of the local market in the UAE, especially in stone and tiles. 60% of UAE construction projects rely on imports of building materials.

     China is the largest source of building materials imports to the UAE. In 2013, China exported about $7.3 billion worth of building materials to the UAE, accounting for about 19% of the total UAE building materials import market. Dubai is the center of the UAE building materials market.

Development Trends of Building Materials in the UAE

     Sustainable Development: The UAE government is an active promoter of sustainable development and is committed to reducing energy consumption and environmental impact. As a result, market demand has gradually shifted to sustainable building materials, such as green building materials, solar energy, and energy-saving equipment.

     Smart Buildings: With the advancement of science and technology, the UAE construction industry has also paid more and more attention to the application of smart buildings and smart equipment. Smart building materials and equipment, such as smart lighting systems, smart glass, and smart control systems, are gradually becoming popular.

     Innovative Technology: The UAE is actively promoting innovative developments in the construction industry, such as 3D printing technology, modular construction, virtual reality, and augmented reality. These emerging technologies are changing the landscape of the building materials market and providing many new business opportunities for investors and suppliers. Heavy Equipment Company launched three Wacker Neuson zero-emission products, including ACBe modular battery-powered internal vibrators, battery-powered vibration plates, redefining the sustainability and efficiency of construction.
