Infrastructure Consulting

The rapid increase in economic activity, population growth, and post-conflict reconstruction in emerging markets has led to a soaring demand for improved supply of water, power, transportation, waste management, and other essential services. Conversely, the industry in developing markets faces challenges from tightening regulations and the need for innovative solutions for optimization, renovation, and evolution.

The utilities and infrastructure sector today requires significant support in areas such as investment and business strategy, risk management, cost reduction, organizational restructuring, and human capital development. With our expertise and knowledge, IBIACO's team of consultants can guide organizations through their transformation with a structured and customized change management process, helping them meet the business challenges ahead.

Economic infrastructure forms the core internal facilities of a country, enabling business activities in areas such as communication, transportation, distribution, finance, and energy supply. These assets are fundamental to societal and economic growth, offering long-term, typically large-scale, and stable income streams. This makes infrastructure a rapidly growing investment class. In the GCC, the infrastructure industry, worth USD 804.97 billion in ongoing projects, presents the second biggest opportunity for the next 15 years. 

Saudi Arabia, driven by ambitious growth plans and government investments into social infrastructure such as hospitals and schools, is witnessing a surge in demand for improved transportation and infrastructure projects. Most GCC governments are planning large-scale infrastructure development and expansion schemes spanning several years. Central to the region's infrastructure development are rail projects valued at USD 106 billion, while marine infrastructure projects are flourishing with over USD 60 billion worth of maritime projects across the GCC, led by the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

Qatar, with its successful FIFA 2022 World Cup bid, has gained prominence on the GCC infrastructure map, allocating 37 percent of its budget towards major capital projects, primarily for infrastructure development.

With the prospects of economic growth, the infrastructure industry is poised for expansion, offering increased investment opportunities. At IBIACO, we provide expert consulting services to navigate this dynamic sector, offering strategic guidance in investment, risk management, cost reduction, organizational restructuring, and human capital development to ensure sustainable growth and success.
