Market Trends of Bahrain Construction Industry
Increase in the number of Construction Projects driving the market
Within Bahrain's Marassi Al Bahrain urban project, the Marassi Park complex is the largest of three contemporary and connected homes. This project spans two kilometers of shoreline and plenty of sandy beaches. It includes a variety of residential and commercial buildings situated on Diayar Al Muharraq's southern borders. The largest construction project in Bahrain, with a project value of USD 360 million, began in Q1 2022 on the Tatweer Petroleum - Well Head Compression for Non-Associated Gas Wells - Bahrain project. Manama city in Bahrain is the site of the Tatweer Petroleum - Well Head Compression for Non-Associated Gas Wells - Bahrain project, which was first announced in Q1 2020 and is scheduled to be finished in Q4 2023.
With project values of USD 270 million, 140 million, and 30 million dollars, the third-largest project was the Tatweer Petroleum - Non-Associated Gas Compression Station in Bahrain, followed by the Tatweer - Onshore Drilling Rig Works in Bahrain and the Bareeq - Wadi Al Riffa: 97 Villas in Bahrain respectively. Construction and real estate development would be fueled by ongoing and recently announced improvements to the nation's industrial base and a massive infrastructure development drive that includes a proposal to significantly increase Bahrain's land mass.
While new regions of the nation are being opened up for the freehold building of luxury properties, increased private sector support for the creation of affordable housing is being pushed through several initiatives. Infrastructure initiatives in tourism, transportation, and education are also available for private investment. Bahrain's hospitable regulatory environment may play a key role in luring the funding needed to meet the government's aims.
Increase in Urbanization is driving the market
Located in the Middle East in the Persian Gulf archipelago, Bahrain is a country consisting of more than 30 islands. Despite its rather small area, the country is densely populated. Since the early 1980s, the population of Bahrain, an island nation in the Persian Gulf has considerably increased and in 2022, it rose to 1.5 million. As urbanization and population density have both increased, so has the demand for land. Similar to other nations in the [Persian] Gulf, Bahrain has been forced to invest in large-scale land reclamation projects to expand its coastline due to fast population development, concurrent urbanization, and land shortages. The 25-kilometer stretch of road saw a record 2.5 million motor vehicle passengers in July 2022, according to news reports.
Since shallow coastal waters there have made it both technically and economically practical to produce new land from the seafloor, the north of the country is where change is most visible. In addition to existing islands being added, their size is also being increased. Aljenaid and colleagues found that built-up (urban) areas dominated the changes over this time, growing by 7.5% annually on average. The increase primarily resulted in wetlands and vegetated areas being displaced. Aljenaid emphasized the island's explosive growth, which has caused it to expand to a size of more than 60 square kilometres (23 square miles) northeast of Manama, the nation's capital. Similarly, the island of Nabih Saleh has undergone changes and lost its agricultural fields.
