intelligence firm ABiQ expects the Saudi real estate construction market to grow by 9% to a total of $324
billion. This total includes completing $18 billion of real estate projects in 2023. With an ambitious array
of giga and mega projects regularly announced across the Kingdom, the construction industry globally is
tasked to dramatically scale the production and distribution of products across all project stages to meet
this tremendous demand.
“The Big 5 Saudi is a premier event that brings together industry professionals from around the world to
showcase the latest advancements and innovations in the construction sector in Saudi Arabia. As the
second largest non-oil sector in Saudi Arabia, the construction industry plays a pivotal role in driving the
Kingdom’s economy forward, and The Big 5 Saudi serves as a platform to promote and support this
growth. With a focus on the projects shaping the future of Saudi Arabia, and a commitment to
showcasing the latest technologies and advancements, The Big 5 Saudi is a vital event for anyone
looking to be at the forefront of the construction industry in the Kingdom.” – said Muhammed Kazi, VP –

The Big 5 Saudi will feature eight product sectors, including building envelope and special construction,
building interiors and finishes, construction technologies and innovations, building materials and tools,
solar and MEP services, plant machinery and vehicles, off-site and modular construction, and building

proudly announces the inaugural editions of two additional events servicing the construction industry to
take place. “We are thrilled to announce that the Windows, Doors & Facades and Saudi Glass events will
be launching next to The Big 5 Saudi this year. This decision was made easy by the immense interest we
received from leading building envelope brands, coupled with our previous success running these events
in other markets. We believe offering these world-renowned brands a robust platform to meet the
booming local demand for their products is a great opportunity as we strive to help the Saudi
government and industry stakeholders to achieve their ambitious development targets.” – adds Kazi.
