Event Overview
Big 5 Global, the leading construction‑focused exhibition, will take place from 23 – 26 November 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The show will host more than 1,800 exhibitors representing over 60 countries and will display approximately 55,000 products, services, systems and solutions. International companies will constitute about 70 % of the exhibitor base.
Indian Participation
Eighty Indian companies will participate, highlighting India’s manufacturing capabilities for the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) construction market. Indian exhibitors include Aquasub Engineering, C.R.I. Pumps, Astral Limited, Jainson Cables India, Shakti Irrigation, Himalayan Adhesives and HP Adhesives, covering product categories such as pumps, piping, cables, irrigation systems and construction adhesives. The presence of these firms is intended to connect them with regional buyers, project stakeholders and to explore new business relationships across the construction supply chain.
Market Context
According to research by Aranca, India’s domestic construction market is projected to reach USD 1.1 trillion by 2031, driven by demand for infrastructure, housing, sustainable building solutions and faster construction methods. This growth creates opportunities for Indian manufacturers to expand into the MEASA region.

Seven co‑located events will run alongside the main exhibition, covering heavy construction, concrete, marble and stone, urban design and landscape, HVACR, digital construction, geospatial technologies and facilities management. The Digital Construction World segment will feature Premier Construction Software, Nemetschek Group, Leica, RIB Software and DJI Drones, showcasing technologies that improve project planning, coordination and delivery. The Big 5 Global Impact Trail will guide visitors to sustainable solutions, with participants such as NaturaSeal (VOC‑free waterproofing membranes), Prime Middle East (low‑GWP refrigerants) and Deewan Equipment Trading (waste‑reducing concrete reclaimers).
