DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Middle East and Africa Construction Industry Report" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The construction industry in Middle East was affected due to the suspension of economic activities to contain the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

Although construction activities were affected, the work continued but with reduced productivity while keeping social distancing norms in mind. However, the sector is expected to recover in 2021 with various upcoming construction projects across Middle East.

Despite the coronavirus outbreak, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure was able to meet the housing demand in the UAE. On the commercial front, Al Taif Investment, a joint venture between Dubai Investments and Fujairah Investment Establishment, announced the completion of Al Taif Business Centre within Fujairah City. The business center features two towers of 19 floors each and includes mall and office tower, and hotel and hotel apartments' tower. The hotels and hotel apartment are expected to conclude Q2'21.

On the infrastructural front, Egypt announced plans to develop roads and railway systems to connect nine African countries, February 2021. The infrastructure project will help create a route from Salloum, Egypt to Benghazi, Libya. Around 35 projects costing US$953 million are expected to be unveiled in the coming months. Nine projects costing US$19 million have already been concluded.

Based on Saudi Vision 2030, the country is undertaking several multi-billion dollar infrastructure projects. In the next 20 years alone, the country is expected to spend US$1.1 trillion on the infrastructure sector. Some of the major infrastructure projects include the US$500 billion NEOM project, US$20 billion Diriyah Gate Development, US$10 billion Red Sea Development, and US$5 billion Qiddiya Entertainment project. All of these projects are expected to post a strong recovery for the infrastructure sector in 2021.

FIFA World Cup 2022 has provided the biggest boost towards the growth of the construction sector in Qatar. It is expected that more than one million visitors will attend the 2022 World Cup. Therefore, the country has been on a spree to build a network of new hotels for guests descending during the mega event.

As per Qatar National Tourism Council (QNTC), a total of 107 hotels with 21,577 rooms under construction at various stages of development. Due to COVID-19, there were delays in launch of hotels in 2020. However, in 2021 the situation has improved. Further, Qatar is planning to build 16 floating hotels with more than 1,600 rooms. The expected influx of visitors creates the opportunity for the development of commercial units, such as various shopping malls around Qatar.
