The growing demand for modular construction in the GCC region is primarily driven by the increasing government investments in infrastructure projects, including housing, healthcare, and transportation, which require scalable, cost-effective, and sustainable building solutions. In 2024, the GCC modular construction market size reached USD 2.0 billion, reflecting broad adoption supported by rapid urban development, rising tourism, and temporary structure needs for large events in countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Enhanced logistics, technological innovations such as BIM and automation, and efforts to reduce construction waste further fuel this growth.

Government policies under visions like Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 emphasize economic diversification and sustainability, boosting modular construction uptake for giga projects such as NEOM and the Red Sea development. These projects prioritize modular methods to achieve environmental goals, high quality, and shorter timelines, reducing labor requirements by up to 50% on some sites. Private sector entities, including Dubai-based Sky Crest and ALEC Solutions, actively implement modular construction, driving innovation and regulatory support for high-rise modular buildings.
