The latest report from the BNC Network for The Big 5 Construct North Africa 2018 reveals that key market drivers are the urban construction sector, which represents 55% of all construction projects across Morocco, and the utilities and transport projects, accounting for over 40% of total investments in the construction industry.

Today, there are over 200 active construction projects with a combined estimated value of USD 49.8 billion” reveals Event Director for The Big 5 Construct North Africa, Muhammed Kazi.  

He continues, “Like the construction sector in Morocco, The Big 5 Construct North Africa exhibition is expanding.

The event will be a truly unmissable platform for all those industry professionals that want to embrace the growing business opportunities in Morocco and the wider region.”
