The BIG 5 Global 2025, held from November 24–27 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, concluded successfully with strong international participation. As one of the world’s largest construction industry exhibitions, BIG 5 gathered 3,000+ exhibitors and tens of thousands of visitors, including developers, contractors, architects, façade consultants, and procurement managers from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and other GCC markets.

For DRUET, a professional aluminum window and door manufacturer and exporter, this exhibition provided valuable first-hand insights into the growing demand for high-performance aluminum systems across the Middle East.

📊 Market Outlook: Middle East Aluminum Window & Door Demand Continues to Rise

Recent industry reports indicate:

• The Middle East aluminum window and door market reached USD 4.3 billion in 2024, with approximately 68 million units consumed.

• By 2035, market size is projected to grow to USD 4.9 billion / 76 million units, reflecting stable long-term demand.

• Saudi Arabia is among the fastest-growing segments, with a projected 4.8% CAGR through 2030, driven by residential, hospitality, and mega-infrastructure projects.

• Key market drivers include rapid urbanization, large-scale real estate development, coastal and desert climate challenges, and the shift toward energy-efficient, low-maintenance, modern aluminum systems.

Across the region, demand is rising for:

• Thermally broken aluminum systems

• Large glass panels and slim-frame designs

• Corrosion-resistant windows and doors for coastal villas

• Energy-efficient insulated glass (Low-E, laminated, IGU)

• Custom sizes and architectural finishes

These trends align directly with DRUET’s core capabilities.

🔍 On-Site Observations from BIG 5: What Middle Eastern Buyers Are Really Looking For

Throughout the exhibition, DRUET engaged with hundreds of contractors, developers, and façade engineers. The following insights reflect the most common requests and project pain points:

1. High Corrosion Resistance & Durability

Clients from coastal regions (UAE, Oman, Qatar) expressed concerns about traditional aluminum windows fading, oxidizing, or failing under salt-fog conditions. Powder-coated and anodized aluminum frames with proven corrosion-resistance are strongly preferred.

2. Modern Architectural Aesthetics

Demand for slim-frame windows, floor-to-ceiling fixed glass, and large sliding doors continues to grow, especially for villas, luxury residences, and hotel projects.

3. Energy Efficiency & Thermal Insulation

With extreme summer temperatures, clients are prioritizing:

• thermally broken aluminum systems

• Low-E and insulated glass units

• solutions that reduce cooling costs and improve indoor comfort

4. Customization Capability

Project owners expect flexible options in:

• frame color

• glass type

• dimensions

• hardware

• installation methods

5. Reliable Export Supply Chain

Many decision-makers emphasized the importance of:

• stable production lead time

• complete documentation

• door-to-port / door-to-site logistics support

• supplier with proven overseas project experience

These insights validate the Middle East as a market with high technical standards and consistent demand for premium aluminum window and door suppliers.
