In line with economic diversification strategy followed by local governments in the GCC, primary metal production is one of the key industries for all countries.
Energy availability, logistics connectivity and modern technology has helped the industry flourish in the region. However, the downstream metal industry is relatively nascent and the region is dependent on imports for majority of its downstream value-added metal product requirement.
Development of a cluster of downstream manufacturing units has been part of the Vision documents of the region for the last decade.
The current 2020 local country value-addition drive is likely to accelerate the growth in these industries with a major push towards manufacturing medical consumables with metals.
Additionally, primary smelters are also supporting the development by customizing and developing primary products as per midstream and downstream requirements.

The downstream metals industry along with complementary industries such as closed-loop waste management, digitalization services, energy efficient practices and infrastructure are likely to gain momentum in the short to medium term.
D&B has helped support the strategic plans of primary and downstream metal players in the region. We have also helped identify various lucrative metal manufacturing opportunities for government entities as part of their strategic plans in the region. This includes incoming FDI projects in the GCC.
