Press Release

UAE Commercial Construction Market is expected to register a 4.7% CAGR through 2030F

The UAE Commercial Construction Market is rising due to robust infrastructure development, increasing demand for office spaces, retail outlets, and mixed-use developments driven by economic growth, urbanization, and major events like Expo 2020 Dubai during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “UAE Commercial Construction Market - By Region, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F", UAE Commercial Construction Market was valued at USD 42.5 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach at USD 56.49 Billion in 2030 and project robust growth in the forecast period with a CAGR of 4.7% through 2030. The Economic diversification in the UAE is a key driver propelling the commercial construction market forward. As part of the country’s Vision 2021 and Vision 2030, the UAE government has committed to reducing its dependence on oil revenue and transitioning toward a knowledge-based economy. This shift has led to significant investments in non-oil sectors such as tourism, finance, technology, and healthcare, all of which require robust commercial infrastructure. The government’s proactive role in funding large-scale projects such as business parks, mixed-use developments, and office complexes has further fueled demand for commercial real estate. Additionally, the government has introduced several initiatives to encourage foreign investment and ease of doing business, such as long-term visas for expatriates, foreign ownership laws, and simplified business licensing processes. These reforms make the UAE a prime destination for international businesses, thus increasing the demand for modern office spaces and commercial buildings. Moreover, the introduction of mega projects like Dubai’s Expo 2020 (delayed to 2021 due to the pandemic) and the UAE’s growing role as a global trade hub have driven the construction of hotels, retail spaces, and business centers. As a result, the ongoing economic diversification and government-driven initiatives continue to be pivotal in sustaining the growth of the commercial construction market in the UAE.
