Why Buildex?
BUILDEX 2012 – the 14th Saudi International Building & Construction Exhibition, continues to provide the ultimate platform for companies to showcase their products, service and expertise.
Past editions have seen over 20,000 visitors benefit from the knowledge and products provided by an extensive group of over 215 international exhibitors. Saudi Arabia offers an extremely exciting opportunity for investors in all sectors. However, given the rapid pace at which the building & construction market is expanding, it is a particularly promising sector.
Saudi Arabia is considered to be the largest construction market in the Middle East, and is also one of the fastest growing markets in the world. Driven by US$ multibillion spending, which comes from both the private and public sectors, it is a market which provides remarkable opportunities. With the Kingdom’s rapid population expansion, come high expectations for quality and technically advanced houses, offices, hospitals, school and universities, and it is this expectation which is driving the boom in Saudi Arabia’s building sector.
With the launch of a number of number of Mega Projects over the next few years, coupled with the expansion plans for existing projects, exceptional growth in Saudi Arabia’s building and construction sector is certain.
The key market factors, which are driving this impressive growth, and creating opportunities are:
High population growth
Low interest financing
New mortgage law
Strong economic performance showing economic stability despite the global financial crisis
Increased demand by foreign investors
Company’s should reserve their places early to join industry representatives including those from Bahrain, Turkey, Taiwan, Pakistan, UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK, Lebanon and Thailand.
EASTERN PROVINCE – THE IDEAL LOCATION
The Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia generates 60% of the Kingdom’s total GDP, making it the second-largest economy in the Middle East, as well as the region’s undisputed industrial capital.
Attending BUILDEX in Dammam ensures immediate access to the Kingdom’s key players in the Building & Construction sector.
The opportunities Saudi Arabia offers to international investors are tremendous and enhanced by the strong demographics.
