About Cement Market in the UAE
Post the economic downturn of 2008-2009 and property bubble burst in 2008, the cement market in the UAE is showing a positive rebound. The UAE is the second largest economy in the GCC and is one of the leading cement producers in the region. As of 2014, the country had a total cement production capacity of 40.7 million tons. The country is currently producing double of its cement demand. Over 50% of the cement produced in the UAE is exported to the neighboring countries such as Oman, Egypt, and other African countries. However, Technavio believes that in the coming years the cement export share will decline to meet the growing demand in the country.

The growth of the cement market in the UAE is being primarily led by the surge in construction investment because of the revival of economy indicated by macroeconomic factors such increased consumer confidence and growing employment rate. The government will invest $700 billion over the next 15 years toward the infrastructure development in the country. Ahead of Dubai EXPO 2020 and UAE National Vision 2021, major investment will be directed toward transport and power infrastructure. Some of the major upcoming construction projects in the country are Hassyan coal-fired power plant and expansion of Doha metro line.
