GCC Aviation Infrastructure Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the GCC Aviation Infrastructure Market according to our research experts:

Rising Passenger Traffic Fostering Infrastructure Modernization

The aviation industries in the GCC and the wider Middle-East region support the economic activities with USD 130 billion, which is equivalent to 4.4% of the region’s gross domestic product (GDP). The GCC region has become a global tourist hub. The tourism sector accounts for about 7% of the region’s economy. As per the IATA, in 2019, the Middle-East region accounted for around 10% of the global scheduled passenger and freight traffic. To support a rapid increase in passenger movement, the governments of the Gulf nations are investing resources toward enhancing and expanding the current capabilities of the existing aviation infrastructure. The capacity utilization of the major airports in the region is nearly at their threshold; hence, a potential investment of USD 100 billion is anticipated to help cope with the Y-o-Y passenger growth of around 10%. As of May 2018, there were around 95 ongoing aviation infrastructure construction projects in the region. The total worth of the ongoing projects is estimated at USD 49 billion, wherein USD 45 billion was directed toward airport terminal projects and more than USD 3 billion was meant for the construction and development of the hangar, runway, and ancillary facilities.

Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are Anticipated to Dominate the Market

Currently, the major airports in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia account for nearly 80% of the regional passenger traffic. Also, airport infrastructure and facilities in both countries constitute an estimated 81% of the existent aviation infrastructure among the GCC countries. Among the six GCC countries, the United Arab Emirates is the leading investor, with nearly USD 136.1 billion of investment planned for the aviation industry during 2011-2021. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has temporarily halted investments, and the airports are focused on bolstering the critical global supply chains and facilitating the shipment of humanitarian aid to 24 different countries impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides the expansion of the international airports in both countries, some new airport projects are also underway. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, a new airport is being built in Abha to accommodate five million passengers per year, while another new airport has been planned for Jizan. Such developments are anticipated to drive the market share of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates during the forecast period.
