With almost 5,000 projects in the pipeline, Saudi Arabia is fast becoming one of the world’s busiest markets for construction \u2013 led by urban development and a growing transport network.<\/p>\n

A new ‘Saudi Arabia Construction Overview’ report by market analysts BNC Network \u2013 prepared ahead of Stone & Surface Saudi 2018 taking place in Jeddah next month (10-12th<\/sup>\u00a0April 2018) \u2013 has priced the 4,778 projects in various stages of development across the Kingdom at US $839.1 billion.<\/p>\n

In line with Saudi Vision 2030, the Kingdom is taking significant measures to improve its infrastructure to further its position as a destination for business and leisure tourism, enhance its religious tourism sector, and cater to the needs of its growing population.<\/p>\n

“A change of regulations has green-lighted the creation of the entertainment sector and industries related to it, while a rapidly growing population and urbanization increase the provisions for basic services such as healthcare, education, energy, water, and roads,” explained Avin Gidwani, CEO of BNC Network.<\/p>\n

“If projects such as the recently announced NEOM Economic Zone are delivered as advertised, it would for all effects and purposes be a whole new Kingdom that would challenge other regional economic centers by providing not just a vibrant environment but also direct and preferential access to an affluent market.”<\/p>\n

Due to the increase in construction projects, there has been a surge in demand for the materials needed to fulfil the significant production and building requirements \u2013 none more so than stone.<\/p>\n

Stone & Surface Saudi Arabia was launched in the Kingdom last year to provide a platform dedicated to connecting construction professionals with suppliers of natural stone and other materials for surface design, including from some of the world’s biggest international quarries.<\/p>\n

Stone is at the very centre of the thousands of urban construction projects ongoing across Saudi, including residential and commercial buildings, economic zones, hospitals, and hotels.<\/p>\n

Stone & Surface Saudi Arabia will run 10-12th<\/sup>\u00a0April 2018 at the Jeddah Centre for Forums and Events, co-located with The Hotel Show Saudi Arabia 2018.<\/p>\n
