Kenya’s construction market is currently valued at $20 billion and is projected to grow by 7.5% annually with continued expansion across housing, construction and infrastructure (Sources: ABiQ and ResearchandMarkets). This momentum is underpinned by the country’s Vision 2030 Construction Industry Development Policy, a national target to deliver one million housing units by 2027 (Source: National Housing Corporation).
These policy imperatives are rapidly accelerating demand for construction and infrastructure inputs, skilled labour, project finance and advanced building technologies. Major projects such as the Nairobi-Mombasa Usahihi Expressway and OrPower 22 Geothermal Plant are also set to boost sector demand and investment, emphasizing the value of Big 5 Construct Kenya to promote network and explore opportunities.
Josine Heijmans, Senior Vice President, dmg events, said: “Kenya’s construction sector is gaining real momentum, fuelled by ambitious construction and infrastructure programs and nationwide housing initiatives under Vision 2030. Big 5 Construct Kenya is at the heart of this growth, connecting decision-makers, innovators and suppliers, supporting the country’s construction sector. The exhibition provides a meeting ground for industry leaders to discover practical solutions, explore emerging trends and drive projects that will contribute to the development of Kenya’s construction landscape.”
