Why are Colloidal Silica Suppliers Keen to Invest in the Middle East?
“Launch of Megaprojects Creating Attractive Business Scope”
Middle Eastern countries have been focusing on diversifying their economic growth and reducing reliance on the oil industry in recent years. These countries are launching some of the most massive and larger-than-life construction projects the world has ever seen to make them tourist hotspots of the world. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has already proven the success of this tourism through the megaprojects model and now Saudi Arabia is following the same but at a much grandiose scale.
- GCC countries are expected to utilize 14,177 tons of colloidal silica by the end of 2033.
The announcement of the revolutionary NEOM city project and the complete redevelopment of downtown Riyadh with projects such as the Mukaab are all set to make Saudi a leading tourist destination in the future. Surging demand for construction materials on such a huge level in Middle Eastern countries is forecasted to provide highly remunerative business opportunities for colloidal silica companies in the future.
