United Arab Emirates (UAE) Projects, H1 2021 - Outlook of Major Projects Spanning Construction, Oil and Gas, Renewable Energy, Transport, Power and Water, Industrial Sectors - MEED Insights

Summary Whichever way you look at it 2020 was a very difficult year for the projects market in the UAE. At just under $19bn of contract awards it was more than 40 per cent down on the 2019 figure, This represented the worst year in nearly two decades as the twin blows of Covid-19 and lower prices hit hard.

New York, March 23, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "United Arab Emirates (UAE) Projects, H1 2021 - Outlook of Major Projects Spanning Construction, Oil and Gas, Renewable Energy, Transport, Power and Water, Industrial Sectors - MEED Insights" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06037435/?utm_source=GNW


The pandemic’s impact was particularly clear given the sharp fall in spending in the latter half of the year after the coronavirus had fully taken hold.Nonetheless, the market was already in decline.

After years of falling real estate prices, construction activity had been decreasing over the previous three years and would no doubt have reached a crunch point with or without Covid-19.

This year should be a lot more promising as life gradually returns to normal.Spending will be spurred by a number of new oil and gas projects in Abu Dhabi led by the multi-billion-dollar Hail & Ghasha sour gas programme.

However, construction sector expenditure is expected to remain muted in 2021 and even beyond until demand begins to pick up and oversupply dwindles.

In this challenging environment firms will have to be smart in order to prosper. Selecting the right clients, specialising in niche sectors, and introducing novel technologies are all tools companies can harness in order to stay ahead of the competition.

Likewise, the pipeline of projects in the UAE sits at more than $670bn.Although there are undoubtable challenges in the short term, the long term prognosis is still relatively healthy.

Regardless of what happens, the UAE market will remain one of the largest projects markets in the region.
