Middle East Construction Materials & Chemicals Conference 2007 16th-17th April 2007 Abu Dhabi, Le Royal Meridien Hotel
Propelled by an accelerating economic growth, the GCC construction industry has experienced a great boost, with current infrastructure projects estimated to value at US$1 trillion and an 11.6% annual growth in civil construction sector. Progressive steps are taken to improve project financing policies for this booming industry. What should developers and buyers be wary of? Which policies can be further improved and implemented?
In addition to major ongoing projects in the UAE such as the Al Reem Island developments and Abu Dhabi Airport expansion project, other gulf nations are also modernizing rapidly with projects like the new Doha International Airport in Qatar and King Abdullah Economic City in Saudi Arabia. This flourishing growth augurs well for related industries, with construction materials bringing in an annual turnover of $3.6 million for the GCC and an estimated 31% increase for materials such as steel and iron by 2008 as compared to 2005. With such exponential growth, what opportunities & challenges lie ahead for local and foreign investors?
An optimistic outlook is also projected for the Construction Chemicals industry as more local companies expand their production capacity and foreign companies enter into the buoyant market.
