Social infrastructure transactions in the Middle East are projected to reach $2 billion by 2027, reflecting a 25% increase from 2024 levels. Led by the UAE’s $7 billion federal investment in healthcare, education, and housing, the region is responding to rapid population growth and rising demand for quality services, while leveraging public-private partnerships to accelerate delivery.
Healthcare remains the top focus, with 68% of procurement professionals expecting the sector to see the highest growth, followed by leisure and education. This strategic push highlights the region’s long-term commitment to community well-being, sustainable development, and enhancing living standards, positioning the Middle East as a leader in innovative social infrastructure.
