The 2022 FIFA World Cup to be held in Qatar, has brought a boom in the construction sector with $280 billion being invested in infrastructure and energy-related projects. As a result, the country has become the second most attractive market worldwide.

The gradual expansion of the construction market is also reflected in the upcoming Projects Qatar 2015 construction, technology and building materials exhibition to take place at the Qatar National Convention Center in May. The exhibition will host suppliers and manufacturers in the construction industry from over 20 countries, while nearly 80% of the exhibition space is fully booked four months ahead.
