The Exhibition Value of the Second Phase of Big 5 Saudi

• Big 5 Construct Saudi is the largest and most influential construction and building materials event in Saudi Arabia, organized by the internationally renowned DMG Group. With thirteen successful editions under its belt, it is widely regarded as a leading indicator for the Middle East’s construction industry. Backed by strong support from the Saudi government and relevant ministries, since its inception in 2010, the show has become a strategic gateway for global construction companies seeking to enter the Saudi market.
• The core value of participation lies in its role as a platform that precisely connects exhibitors with Saudi Arabia’s trillion-dollar infrastructure projects. Saudi Arabia is currently experiencing an unprecedented construction boom, with dozens of large-scale projects—totaling $1.3 trillion—included among them are NEOM, the futuristic city backed by a $500 billion investment, the Red Sea Development Project, Qiddiya entertainment complex, Diriyah Gate, and other “giga‑scale” initiatives. From 2023 to 2026, the construction sector is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 4%, while under the housing program, the government plans to build 500,000 homes, aiming to raise homeownership among Saudi households to 70% by 2030. The exhibition offers participating companies an unparalleled opportunity to engage directly with these monumental projects.
• The event establishes an international trade platform spanning the entire construction value chain. Exhibits cover every segment of the industry, including building materials, interior finishes, HVAC systems, doors, windows, curtain walls, stone flooring, construction machinery, concrete technologies, urban landscaping, and more. In 2025, the show attracted over 2,000 exhibitors from 60 countries, drawing more than 75,000 professional visitors across an exhibition space exceeding 80,000 square meters. Beyond traditional building materials, the event places particular emphasis on cutting-edge topics such as green building technologies, smart city solutions, and sustainable material applications.
• The exhibition brings together world-leading construction firms and key local procurement decision-makers in Saudi Arabia. In January 2026, the event 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 architectural firms such as AECOM, Atkins, Al Bawani, Saudi Binladin Group, and ROSHN Group, are expected to attend for sourcing and networking.
• Complementary high‑profile industry forums and specialized events further elevate the exhibition into a hub of deep integration among academia, industry, research, and application. During the 2025 edition, eight special events and more than 100 thematic presentations were held, featuring over 150 expert speakers. Building on this tradition, the 2026 show will feature the Architecture Leaders Forum, Big 5 Talks technical seminars, CIAAD masterclasses, and the EcoTrail sustainable technology showcase, focusing on green building materials, energy‑efficient technologies, AI‑enabled architecture, and other frontier issues.
• For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to the Middle East market and a vital link to Saudi Arabia’s vast infrastructure resources. Chinese products hold a significant position in the Saudi building materials market, particularly in areas such as 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‑management systems tailored to the region’s extreme climate, thereby securing expressions of intent for collaboration from customers in nearly 20 countries, including Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia. Moreover, the Saudi government offers favorable policies, such as tax exemptions, creating a conducive business environment for international companies.
