What’s the buzz about Saudi Arabia’s $148 billion contracts?
Right, let’s break this down nice and easy. Saudi Arabia has just awarded a record-breaking $148 billion worth of project contracts in 2024 – the highest in the entire Middle East region. This includes massive infrastructure, housing, commercial and industrial projects under the Vision 2030 plan.
Now, you may wonder, “I’m just running a hardware shop in Deira or Sharjah… how’s this got anything to do with me?” Well, quite a lot, actually.
Projects of this size need truckloads of hardware and building material
Think about it – for every mega project, you’ll need:
- Millions of fasteners, screws, dowel bars, and bolts
- Thousands of hand tools, power tools, garage equipment
- Kilometres of piping, drilling tools, and ladders
- Interior fitouts for commercial spaces and towers
When you look at the scale of these developments, the demand for nuts-and-bolts level supply shoots up dramatically. And while most of the work is in Saudi, UAE suppliers are a key part of the chain due to proximity, trust, and logistics strength.
How UAE shopkeepers can plug into the supply chain
Here’s the smart bit – buyers, contractors, and sourcing teams often turn to UAE suppliers for urgent and bulk orders. They search platforms like Gulfinquiries.com daily to find traders who can deliver quickly.
That’s why it’s crucial for businesses like:
- AHMAD AND KHADEEJA TRADING LLC (specialising in fasteners, Deira Dubai)
- OMAN OCEAN TRADING LLC (dowel bars & accessories, Deira Dubai)
- MIDLAND HARDWARE LLC (cutting tools, Sharjah)
to stay active online and visible to potential buyers.
Being listed on a platform like Gulfinquiries.com ensures that your shop is on the radar when a procurement manager needs 50,000 hex screws by next week.
The Gulfinquiries.com Advantage
Unlike random B2B websites, Gulfinquiries.com is built around real UAE buyer-seller connections. If you’re listed there:
- You’ll be visible to 25,000+ businesses, contractors, and resellers
- You’ll receive leads weekly, with the option to send offers directly
- You’ll get your own space to showcase brands and deals
It’s perfect for companies like WADI AL AQEEQ BUILDING MATERIALS (Sharjah) or POWERTEX TOOLS (Deira Dubai) to position themselves for big business.
The future is big. The question is – are you visible?
The Saudi construction boom won’t slow down any time soon. UAE’s location, trust, and logistic speed put local traders in a strong position. But if your name doesn’t show up when buyers search, you miss out.
So whether you’re in Musaffah, Qusais, or Naif, make sure your shop is on Gulfinquiries.com – because the next inquiry could be worth lakhs.
