UAE Construction Report 2025 | Output to Expand by 5.2% in Real Terms This Year, Supported by PPI in Major Projects in Transportation, Road, Rail and Housing - Forecast to 2029 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "The UAE Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q3 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The analyst expects that the UAE's construction industry will expand by 5.2% in real terms in 2025. This will be supported by public and private sector investment in the construction of major projects in the transportation, road, rail and housing sectors.

The growth in the construction industry will also be supported by the government's investments under the latest 2026 Budget. Indeed, in July 2025, UAE revealed that planning is underway for the federal budget cycle 2027-29 focused on Artificial Intelligence (AI), accelerating national development and supporting the country's long-term objectives. However, President Trump's newly announced tariffs are set to have significant repercussions for the industry performance.

The UAE's construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth of 4% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments in tourism, transport, industrial and housing projects. In June 2025, the government revealed that Abu Dhabi is currently managing 619 infrastructure projects with a total investment exceeding AED200 billion ($54.5 billion), focused on creating smart cities that enhance livability and sustainability across the country.

Among the 619 projects underway, 65% are dedicated to housing and home preservation, while 18% support school construction and the remainder cover civil defense, police stations, museums, and tourism infrastructure. This comprehensive transformation reflects Abu Dhabi's commitment to improve quality of life while supporting economic diversification and technological innovation in line with its country's 2030 vision
