INDEX Design Qatar and Big 5 Construct Qatar have successfully hosted industry professionals in the construction and interior design and fit-out industries, welcoming more than 8,400 visitors at the Doha Exhibition & Convention Center (DECC), as attendees benefitted from the multifaceted exhibitions, as well as exclusive access to the latest products and solutions.

Held under the patronage of the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.E. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, the events serve to support Qatar’s construction market expected to reach USD 89.27 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 9.13% during the forecast period (2023-28). Bucking global trends, Qatar’s construction industry post the 2022 FIFA World Cup is characterised by high levels of investment and a growing focus on sustainability.

Rawad Sleem, Co-founder & General Manager of NeXTfairs comments: “The success of this year’s events could not have happened without the support of our esteemed partners, supporters, and sponsors. I want to thank them for their commitment to these transformative events that provide an important platform to showcase the latest innovative products and solutions for the construction, interiors and fit-out industries. Our strategic partnership with dmg events has allowed us to provide a unique experience by bringing further global expertise to benefit Qatar, and ultimately support greater industry growth. We are encouraged for 2024 as leading exhibitors have already confirmed their involvement, creating an even more attractive proposition for attendees and participants.”

Muhammed Kazi, VP - Construction at dmg events said: “As local and international exhibitors came together, we saw how truly dynamic the events have been this year, going beyond mere business transactions, enabling valuable networking opportunities and an exchanging of expertise and skills. Big 5 Construct Qatar is an important event in the annual calendar for construction leaders and the wider community, and we are proud to be part of the journey towards shaping the nation’s ambitious plans as part of the National Vision 2030. As we look ahead to 2024, our focus will be on delivering a Big 5 Construct Qatar that continues to offer great value for attendees and exhibitors alike, to showcase the latest products and technologies.”

As a result of its commitment to hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup, National Vision 2030, and the ambition to host the Asian Games in 2030, Qatar is undertaking a remarkable array of infrastructure and industrial projects creating a thriving business environment. Under Qatar's 2050 Transport Plan alone, 22 new projects worth a total of USD 2.7 billion are expected to be awarded this year (2023); all contributing to the sense of pride and excitement at this year’s events where partners and buyers came together as part of impactful networking and collaboration.

More than 185 exhibitors took part in this year’s events, including Al Rugaib Furniture, Lavish Living, Ashghal, QDB and By Trio from Türkiye. Following this, international brands have already confirmed their participation for the 2024 editions of INDEX Design Qatar and Big 5 Construct Qatar, such as ARS Casa, Evozome, Gandhi Automation and Fidelity Wall Covering.
