ISLAMABAD: Pakistan inaugurated its pavilion at the Big 5 Global 2025 exhibition in Dubai on Monday, showcasing a range of building materials and construction technologies as the Gulf region accelerates large-scale infrastructure and real estate development.

The Big 5 Global is one of the world’s largest construction industry gatherings, bringing together companies involved in supply chains, urban planning, infrastructure design, and facilities management. The Gulf region, particularly the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, has been a growing market for construction inputs, creating opportunities for export-oriented manufacturers from countries like Pakistan. The annual exhibition serves as a key platform for firms seeking entry into regional procurement networks and long-term buyers.

Speaking at the inauguration of the event, Hussain Muhammad, Pakistan’s consul general in Dubai, said nine exhibitors from Pakistan were participating under the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan.

“Pakistani companies are presenting a diverse range of products and services, including electric cables, lighting solutions, PVC pipes, U-PVC windows and doors, aluminum architecture, and laminated boards,” Muhammad was quoted as saying in a statement by his office after he opened the Pakistan pavilion at the Dubai World Trade Center.
