GCC Hollow Concrete Blocks Market Trends:

Widespread Adoption of Sustainable Materials

The growing consumer environmental awareness is escalating the market. As regulatory bodies in the region encourage greener construction practices, builders and developers are seeking eco-friendly alternatives to traditional building materials. In May 2024, SCG International Corporation Co., Ltd. took a major step in promoting environmental stewardship by entering into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Buna Al Mamlaka (BUNA) to develop sustainable and advanced construction technologies in Saudi Arabia.

Expanding Infrastructure Development Projects

The rising investments by government bodies in residential developments, such as transportation networks and commercial buildings, as part of their long-term economic diversification plans are elevating the GCC hollow concrete blocks market share. For example, in March 2024, regulatory authorities in Saudi Arabia recently celebrated the unveiling of the world's first-ever mosque crafted via the revolutionary technique of 3D printing in Jeddah. The project was facilitated by using hollow concrete blocks, thereby signifying a bold step towards a progressive and sustainable future.

Novel Manufacturing Technologies

Digitalization and automation are integrated into the manufacturing process to allow for more precise control over the block-making process and reduce material wastage. Besides this, the adoption of 3D printing technology in block manufacturing offers the potential for customized designs and faster production times, which is acting as a significant growth-inducing factor. In February 2024, Nakheel received the first license for the construction of the Al Furjan Hills project using 3D printing technology for buildings.
