Exhibition Introduction:

The Oman International Building Materials and Hardware Exhibition is your ideal opportunity to explore the thriving construction industry in the Middle East. Oman relies on imports for 100% of its building materials, hardware, and decorative materials.

Since 2021, the total import volume of building materials in Oman has remained stable at around 5 billion US dollars. The main sources of imports include China, the United States, the United Kingdom, and others. The main imported building materials include stone, wood, ceramic tiles, steel, cement, lighting fixtures, etc.

The Omani government plans to build two new cities in Muscat and Dukum respectively. Industrial and resort areas around Muscat are gradually being constructed, and the over 80 million square meter Kazan New City is under development, requiring a large amount of building materials. Construction projects are being prepared or under construction everywhere on the streets.

Oman's unique and advantageous geographical location allows it to radiate to all GCC countries (tax-free between GCC countries). In the coming years, the Omani building materials market will continue to maintain a growth trend and gradually increase its import efforts towards environmentally friendly, energy-saving, and intelligent building materials products.
