Middle East, GCC and North Africa Construction Market Intelligence Report 2026

The Middle East is spending at a scale the world has never seen before.

$196 billion in giga-project contracts awarded in Saudi Arabia alone. A $54.5 billion Qatari construction market growing at 4.1 per cent annually. Egypt's sector expanding at 8 per cent a year toward $80 billion by 2031. Morocco racing to deliver a World Cup by 2030. The UAE awarding $8 billion in high-speed rail contracts in a single month.

But not everything you have read about this market is true.

NEOM's The Line has been suspended. PIF cut spending by 20 per cent. Large-scale Saudi contract values dropped 71 per cent by Q3 2025. The contractors winning in this market are not the ones chasing headlines. They are the ones who know exactly which projects are funded, which frameworks are open, and which opportunities are real right now.

This report gives you that intelligence across ten countries.

Saudi Arabia. UAE. Qatar. Kuwait. Oman. Bahrain. Egypt. Morocco. Algeria. Jordan.
