Saudi Arabia GIGA Construction Projects Overview

The total pipeline value of Saudi Arabia GIGA construction projects has grown to more than $850 billion with the addition of the King Salman International Airport and New Murabba projects. The Saudi Arabia GIGA Project Program consists of a series of geographically diverse tourist, residential, commercial, retail, and industrial capital projects. The program is the centerpiece of the Saudi Arabia 2030 Vision aimed at transforming the Kingdom into a tourism and entertainment hub while creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs. It includes NEOM, which at $500 billion is the world’s largest single project, as well as Red Sea tourism projects including The Red Sea Development and Amaala, housing projects such as Jeddah Central and Roshn, and entertainment schemes like Qiddiya and SEVEN.

The terms ‘GIGA project’ or ‘GIGAproject’ are rarely used words and come without a standard definition. In this case, they are used in specific reference to Saudi Arabia’s capital program to market and emphasize the importance and enormity of the individual projects. However, officially there are just five developments called GIGA projects – NEOM, the Red Sea Project, Qiddiya, Roshn and Diriyah Gate. It is likely that as other mega projects become more developed, they will come under the official ‘GIGA project’ umbrella. The Saudi Arabia GIGA construction projects report will help to understand each of the 14 individual GIGA projects in Saudi Arabia.

Leading Contractors L&T, Alfanar Construction, Almabani, Modern Building Leaders, Shibh Al Jazira Contracting, and Nesma & Partners

Saudi Arabia GIGA Construction Projects - Drivers and Objectives

There are a number of drivers behind the government’s GIGA project program. The most important is the need for the Kingdom to diversify economically by creating new sectors, particularly in leisure and tourism. By doing so it hopes to create jobs and attract foreign investment. At the same time, GIGA projects like NEOM, Roshn, and Jeddah Central are focused on the construction of housing for local nationals to meet ambitious home-ownership targets. Others, like Green Riyadh and Sports Boulevard, have the aim of making Saudi Arabia a more attractive place to live, an important factor if it is to try and grow its expatriate population and attract foreign investment

Saudi Arabia GIGA Construction Projects - Expenditure and Financing

The key GIGA projects in the Saudi Arabia GIGA construction projects are NEOM, Roshn, New Murabba, King Salman International Airport, Diriyah Gate, Jeddah Central, Red Sea Project, AlUla, SEVEN, Aseer/Al Soudah, Rua Al Madinah, Qiddiya, Amaala, Saudi Downtown, Sports Boulevard, King Salman International Park, and Boutique Group. NEOM has the highest estimated value among all the projects as of March 2023. Quantifying the precise size of the giga project capital expenditure program is challenging as the values announced are frequently best-guess estimates based on masterplans that are liable to change and/or have a development period of many years. NEOM is a good case in point. With an announced value of $500 billion and a development period of two decades as a minimum, there is great degree of uncertainty about the actual end cost, a claim which can also be applied to many of the other giga projects.

To date, almost all the capital expenditure on the GIGA project program has come from the state directly or from its sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF). This is not surprising given that the focus has hitherto been on the construction of the necessary infrastructure upon which to build revenue-generating assets. The government has been able to fund its part of the GIGA projects thanks in large to increasing oil prices over the past 18 months which have enabled a comfortable surplus and the financial firepower to proceed with its capital projects program.

“The GlobalData platform is our go-to tool for intelligence services. GlobalData provides an easy way to access comprehensive intelligence data around multiple sectors, which essentially makes it a one-for-all intelligence platform, for tendering and approaching customers.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
