Why is Big 5 taking place?
The construction boom in the Emirates and the broader Middle East has brought unprecedented interest to the region as companies clamor to get a piece of the action.

As the pace of construction continues to gather even more speed, the market for plant, machinery, vehicles and equipment is also growing, with industry estimates forecasting an increase of up to 20% over the next five years as the region realises its ambitious program of projects and developments.

“Over 2,100 existing and planned projects, valued at $1.2 trillion, are already underway in the GCC, and investment will rise even further as the countries of the Middle East continue with their essential infrastructure development and expansion plans,” said Bernard Walsh, Managing Director of dmg world media Dubai, organisers of the event.

The Big 5 trade show aims to bring together leading businesses in the construction industry with commercial enterprises.
