Big 5 Construct Kenya will return for its 8th edition from 5th to 7th November 2025 at Sarit Expo Center in Nairobi, bringing together key players in Kenya’s construction value chain. The event builds on the unprecedented opportunity in the sector to demonstrate resilience amid global economic uncertainty, with the country’s GDP expected to grow by 4.5% in 2025 (Source: World Bank).
Kenya’s construction market is currently valued at $20 billion and is expected to grow by 7.5% annually due to continued expansion across housing, construction and infrastructure (Source: ABiQ and ResearchandMarkets). This momentum is supported by the country’s Vision 2030 construction industry development policy, a national goal to deliver one million housing units by 2027 (Source: National Housing Corporation).
These policy imperatives are rapidly increasing demand for construction and infrastructure inputs, skilled labor, project finance, and advanced building technologies. Major projects such as the Nairobi-Mombasa Usahihi Expressway and the Opower 22 geothermal power plant are also set to drive demand and investment in the sector, highlighting the value of Big 5 Construct Kenya to foster networks and explore opportunities.
dmg Josin Hymans, Senior Vice President at events, said: “Kenya’s construction sector is gaining real momentum, fueled by ambitious construction and infrastructure plans and national housing initiatives under Vision 2030. It is at the heart of growth, connecting decision-makers, innovators and suppliers and supporting the country’s construction sector. The exhibition will be a meeting place for industry leaders to discover practical solutions, explore new trends and drive projects that contribute to development.” Introducing the construction landscape in Kenya. ”
