Despite near-term challenges in certain construction sectors, medium to long term growth story in United Arab Emirates remains intact. The construction industry in United Arab Emirates is expected to grow steadily over the next four quarters. The growth momentum is expected to continue over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 5.7% during 2023-2027. The construction output in the country is expected to reach AED 331,843.2 million by 2027.
Despite the slowdown in the global economy, the United Arab Emirates has shown resilience in terms of construction industry growth in H1 2023. Driven by increased infrastructure spending and uptake in residential construction projects the Emirates is leading the growth in the regional market. The trend is projected to further continue in H2 2023 and Q1 2024 as megaprojects pick up speed.
Hotel construction activities have remained strong in the first half of the year and the trend is expected to remain robust going forward, as an increasing number of projects are being launched to tap into the rising tourism market in the Middle East. The commercial construction sector is also expected to gain momentum, as corporates are seeking to build their presence in the Emirati nation over the next few years.
*The growing appetite for luxury residential properties to aid construction industry growth in the Emirates*
Ever since the pandemic outbreak, the appetite for luxury properties has been growing at a rapid pace in the Middle East market. The trend of high-net-worth individuals looking to tap into the luxury property market is projected to continue over the next few quarters in the Emirates. As a result, more and more developers are lining up their offerings to cash in on the increasing demand in the luxury residential space.
Taraf, the real estate arm of Yas Holding Group based in Abu Dhabi, has started the construction of its upscale project, Luce, located in Palm Jumeirah. The residential project, spanning nine stories and two basement levels, comprises 38 apartments offering 2, 3, and 4-bedroom layouts, as well as duplex apartments and a penthouse. The project was sold out within a few hours of its launch back in February 2023. Having a development value of US$95 million, the project is expected to support the growth of the residential construction industry in H2 2023 and Q1 2024.
Several other luxury residential projects have been announced in the Emirates in 2023. This also includes the US$763 million project announced by Sobha Realty in Dubai in April 2023. In June 2023, Luxe Developers also broke ground on the AED 1.5 billion luxury twin towers. Going forward, the publisher expects more such project launches in the market, thereby supporting the broader industry growth in the Emirates.
*Uptake in real estate projects and investment in non-energy infra projects will speed up construction market growth*
The construction industry in the United Arab Emirates is poised for accelerated growth over the next few quarters. The growth will be largely driven by the uptake in real estate projects and investment in non-energy infrastructure projects. Some of the major infrastructure projects where construction activities have commenced include the 1,200 km Etihad Rail network, Abu Dhabi Midfield Terminal, and Dubai Urban Tech District. Apart from these projects, Abu Dhabi has also unveiled the project to enhance Rabdan city infrastructure. The proposed construction project includes the development of parking lots, public spaces, and shops, as well as improvement of internal road networks.
In the real estate space, Aldar Properties is also expecting to start the construction of Phase I of its Gardenia Bay project in Q1 2024. Going forward, the publisher expects investment in the non-infra projects to further rise in the Emirates, thereby supporting the growth of the broader construction industry over the next three to four years.
*The surge in building material prices can put cost pressure on major construction projects in the Emirates*
At the start of 2023, it was looking all good for property developers in the United Arab Emirates. The cost of building materials dropped significantly from mid-2022 onwards, and this was also reflected in the strong uptake of new projects and broader construction industry growth in H1 2023. However, the prices have been following an upward trajectory again since June 2023, and if this continues throughout H2 2023, it can put cost pressure on construction projects across sectors. Since June 2023, prices of raw materials including steel, cement, and concrete have all gained in the Emirati market, catching many developers by surprise.
If the cost pressure continues to sustain, developers will ultimately put it back on the end users, resulting in a slowdown in the uptake of new construction projects. Residential buyers have started to get cautious regarding their investment in real estate on the back of the rising interest rate environment. Further cost pressure is, therefore, likely to hamper the growth of the industry from the short to medium-term perspective.
