The UAE awarded some USD 83 bn in new project contracts in 2024<\/strong>, marking a 10.8% y-o-y decline, according to Emirates NBD\u2019s Infrastructure Investment report (pdf)<\/a>. Currently, USD 222 bn worth of projects are under execution, with a further USD 659 bn to follow \u2014 with USD 336 bn in budgeted projects and USD 323 bn in planning.<\/p>\n

Abu Dhabi and Dubai dominate:<\/strong> Abu Dhabi and Dubai account for 87% of active projects across the country. Abu Dhabi leads with a 49% share of active projects (USD 109 bn), distributed across gas, construction, and oil. Dubai holds 38% (USD 83 bn), with a strong focus on construction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Future projects are similarly concentrated,<\/strong> with 90% of the pipeline in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Dubai\u2019s projects are predominantly private sector-driven (65%), while Abu Dhabi\u2019s spending is largely public sector-driven (73%).<\/p>\n

The UAE's infrastructure sector is set to grow at a 5% compound annual growth rate from 2025 to 2030,<\/strong> driven by government and private sector projects in transportation, renewable energy, and real estate, Wam<\/a> reports, citing Mordor Intelligence.<\/p>\n

THE REGIONAL PICTURE- <\/p>\n

The GCC saw a 9% rise in project contracts awarded in 2024<\/strong>, totaling USD 271 bn, building on the 99% growth in 2023. Currently, USD 790 bn worth of projects are under execution, with Saudi Arabia accounting for 53% and the UAE for 28%. <\/p>\n

Governments drive 77% of the current spending, <\/strong>with the private sector contributing 23%. The region also has a USD 2.7 tn pipeline, including USD 1.2 tn in budgeted projects and USD 1.5 tn in planning phases, with Saudi Arabia and the UAE holding the largest shares.
