Profile
Big 5 Saudi – Phase II is one of the most prominent industry exhibitions in Saudi Arabia. Since its inception in 2010, the show has enjoyed strong support from relevant Saudi government agencies. It primarily targets leaders and innovators in the construction sector, architects, project and facility managers, as well as technical professionals.
At the previous edition of Big 5 Saudi, more than 1,300 exhibitors from 47 countries participated, occupying an exhibition space of 80,000 square meters. The event welcomed over 55,000 visitors, and hosted more than 60 thematic presentations on-site.
Global data indicates that Saudi Arabia’s construction output will grow at an average annual rate of 4% between 2023 and 2026. Under the Ministry of Housing’s ESKAN program, the government plans to build 500,000 housing units. To realize Saudi Vision 2030 and diversify the national economy, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) launched five mega-projects—collectively known as the “Giga Projects”—including NEOM, Qiddiya, The Red Sea Project, Roshn, and Diriyah. Notably, the NEOM project alone has committed investments totaling US$500 billion.
For Chinese enterprises, the Middle East represents immense market potential and ample room for growth. With China’s rapid development, an increasing number of Chinese companies are expanding overseas in search of new opportunities. The Middle East holds a pivotal position in the global marketplace and deserves close attention from Chinese businesses.
Big 5 Saudi – Phase II has earned widespread recognition among exhibitors and visitors worldwide for its effectiveness and impact. Substantial capital is expected to flow into Saudi Arabia’s domestic building materials market, and the organizing committee continues to invite buyers and suppliers from across the globe.

The Value of Participating in the Second Edition of the Big 5 Construct Saudi
- Big 5 Construct Saudi is the largest and most influential architecture and construction materials event in Saudi Arabia, organized by the internationally renowned exhibition group DMG Events. Having been held for thirteen editions, it is widely regarded as a bellwether for the Middle Eastern construction industry. The exhibition enjoys strong support from the Saudi government and relevant ministries, and since its inception in 2010, it has served as a strategic gateway for global construction firms seeking access to the Saudi market.
- The core value of participation lies in its role as a precise platform for connecting with Saudi Arabia’s trillion-dollar infrastructure projects. Saudi Arabia is currently experiencing a historic construction boom, with dozens of large-scale projects shaping the nation’s future, collectively valued at up to USD 1.3 trillion. These include NEOM Future City (with a pledged investment of USD 500 billion), the Red Sea Development Project, Qiddiya entertainment city, Diriyah Gate, and other “giga”-scale initiatives. From 2023 to 2026, the construction sector is projected to maintain an average annual growth rate of 4%, while under the housing plan, the government aims to build 500,000 homes, raising homeownership rates to 70% by 2030. The exhibition provides participating companies with an unparalleled opportunity to directly engage with these monumental projects.
- The exhibition establishes an international trade platform covering the entire construction value chain. Exhibit offerings span building materials, interior finishes, HVAC systems, doors and windows, stone flooring, construction machinery, concrete technologies, urban landscaping, and other segments across the full industry spectrum. In 2025, the exhibition attracted over 2,000 exhibitors from 60 countries, drawing more than 75,000 professional visitors and occupying an exhibition area exceeding 80,000 square meters. Beyond traditional building materials, the show places particular emphasis on cutting-edge topics such as green building technologies, smart city solutions, and sustainable material applications.
- The exhibition brings together leading global construction firms alongside Saudi Arabia’s key domestic procurement decision-makers. By January 2026, the exhibition will host over 1,100 exhibitors from more than 50 countries, showcasing over 20,000 products and solutions. Representatives of major Saudi projects—including the Red Sea Global, Qiddiya, Diriyah Gate, and NEOM—as well as top-tier construction companies such as AECOM, Atkins, Al Bawani, Saudi Binladin Group, and ROSHN Group—are expected to attend for purchasing and networking.
- The exhibition concurrently hosts high-profile industry forums and distinctive events, fostering a deep integration of research, education, industry, and application to create a technological powerhouse. During the 2025 edition, eight special events and over 100 thematic presentations were organized, featuring more than 150 industry professionals. The 2026 edition continues this tradition, hosting the Architecture Leaders Forum, Big 5 Talks technical seminars, CIAAD masterclasses, and the EcoTrail sustainable technology showcase, all focusing on green building materials, energy-saving technologies, AI-driven architectural innovations, and other frontier issues.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition represents a strategic gateway to the Middle Eastern market and a vital link to Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure resources. Chinese products hold a prominent position in the Saudi building materials market, particularly in ceramic sanitaryware, HVAC equipment, and door and window hardware. In 2025, Haier Smart Home participated with its full product lineup, presenting intelligent air-conditioning solutions and safe water systems tailored to the extreme climates of the Middle East, garnering expressions of intent for collaboration from customers in nearly 20 countries, including Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia. The Saudi government offers favorable policies such as tax exemptions for foreign investors, creating a conducive business environment for international enterprises.

Review
The Big 5 Construct Saudi 2025 was successfully held from February 15 to 27, 2025, at the Riyadh Front International Convention & Exhibition Center, marking the first time it adopted an innovative two-week format. The first week (February 15–18) covered the entire industry chain, from foundational work through design and construction, while the second week (February 24–27) focused on finishing works and post-construction services. The event was organized by DMG Events and supported by the Saudi Contractors Authority (SCA), with His Excellency Majid Abdullah Al-Hogail, Minister of Municipalities, Rural Affairs, and Housing, officiating at the opening ceremony.
In terms of scale, this edition attracted over 2,000 exhibiting companies from more than 60 countries, drawing a total of over 75,000 professional visitors across an exhibition space of 80,000 square meters. The show featured 14 product sectors, including five newly introduced categories, spanning the full architectural value chain. A total of 17 national pavilions showcased their respective products, solutions, and specialized technologies. During the event, eight special events and more than 100 thematic presentations were hosted, with over 150 industry experts delivering speeches.
This year’s edition boasted numerous highlights, with both international participation and professional sophistication reaching new heights. Concurrent with the exhibition, the fourth International Contractors Conference (ICC) was co-organized by the SCA and DMG Events, focusing on the challenges, opportunities, and key influencing factors facing the Saudi contracting sector. At the conference, Eng. Zakaria bin Abdulrahman Al-Abdulqader, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Contractors Authority, emphasized that the ICC and Big 5 Construct Saudi have drawn significant participation from professionals, contractors, project owners, developers, legal, financial, and insurance institutions, subcontractors, consulting engineers, and technology suppliers.
Sustainable innovation technologies took center stage. GreenTech Cooling Solutions unveiled a revolutionary energy-efficient HVAC system capable of reducing energy consumption by up to 40%; EcoCrete presented a low-carbon concrete mix that significantly cuts emissions while enhancing durability; SmartBuild Technologies showcased cutting-edge prefabricated housing units designed for rapid deployment and superior thermal insulation; BuildBot made its debut with a bricklaying robot system that boosts construction speed by 50%, addressing labor shortages. First-time exhibitor Firat Pipes introduced advanced indoor and outdoor piping systems, while Spacemaker KSA unveiled innovative solutions for affordable housing and high-rise developments.
Complementary activities and strategic partnerships yielded substantial results. Saudi real estate infrastructure company Binyah signed a cooperation agreement with SAP to implement SAP ERP on the SAP RISE cloud platform, advancing Binyah’s digital transformation. Binyah also entered into another partnership with SSB Global to jointly elevate the Saudi construction and infrastructure sectors. Saudi industrial group Alessa established a strategic alliance with Egypt’s Al Arabi Industrial Group in manufacturing, supply chain management, and R&D. Mueen Human Resources and Auxilium, making their debut, signed agreements for human resources solutions. JGB and Mupro Germany inked distribution deals, while Armacell secured agreements for the distribution of Armaflex insulation materials and ArmaGel.
Exhibitors and attendees provided overwhelmingly positive feedback, with high praise for the quality and professionalism of the participating companies. Fahad Al Qifari, CEO of Al Majal Al Arabi (MAG), a leading facilities management provider in Saudi Arabia, stated that the exhibition underscores how facilities management has become a core priority within Saudi Arabia’s emerging infrastructure landscape, with MAG currently serving projects such as the Two Holy Mosques, Medina, Riyadh Metro, NEOM green hydrogen initiative, Red Sea Project, and Diriyah Gate. Muhammed Kazi, Senior Vice President of DMG Events, remarked that Big 5 Construct Saudi serves as a pivotal enabler for the Saudi construction industry, allowing professionals to explore new products and solutions.
Attendees generally agreed that the Big 5 Construct Saudi is not only an excellent platform for brand exposure and business matchmaking but also a critical hub for gaining insights into Middle Eastern construction trends and connecting with Saudi Arabia’s trillion-dollar infrastructure resources. As Saudi Arabia continues to advance its Vision 2030, with mega-projects like NEOM New City, the Red Sea Project, and the ROSHN housing initiative entering accelerated phases of development, demand for building materials remains robust. Consequently, the exhibition—serving as a strategic bridge between global suppliers and local procurement decision-makers—will continue to grow in value and influence.
