The new industry research report from Technavio analyzes some of the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.

Risk mitigation through outsourcing services

As the Middle East is symbolic of its infrastructure and construction activities, it is imperative for user industries to outsource their support processes to MEP vendors. The vendors, in turn, have the pre-requisite skills and knowledge to handle such activities. Outsourcing ensures that end-users can focus more on core activities, while vendors handle the responsibility of MEP services and possible risks associated with it. With the help of outsourcing, training and operational costs can be minimized to a large extent.

Rising levels of urbanization

Owing to rapid urbanization, the infrastructure and construction sectors in the Middle East are experiencing exponential growth. The total construction projects in the GCC alone, in 2015, was valued to be USD 172 billion. Another set of projects worth almost USD 3 trillion is already in progress or the planning stage. With the rising levels of urbanization, mega-scale projects planned for the forecast period will generate a growing need for design, installation, operation, and maintenance of HVAC, plumbing lines, water storage tanks, and other electromechanical systems in newly constructed facilities. The demand for new contracts with MEP vendors in associated areas of specialization is expected to increase with the rising focus on improving the facility and provide modern infrastructure amenities among end-users.

Improved cost savings for businesses

The outsourcing of MEP services also spares end-users from investing in training employed personnel for in-house services. MEP vendors by providing specialized services help end-users save 30%-40% of the overall cost associated with building operations. Cost savings are brought about as a result of the technical expertise that lies with professional vendors only. In some cases, the lack of knowledge on the end-users part can lead to the installation of inefficient or faulty machinery, which can increase the cost of operation.
