Iran, a country of 77.8 million inhabitants, is according to many international experts and prominent economists, the next major construction market in the Middle East region. Iran has a strong potential to emerge as a major player in the global construction market as it has one of the world´s largest oil and natural gas reserves.
Iran's GDP hit an all-time high of US$ 528.43 billion in 2011, and is estimated to stand at US$ 405 billion in 2014, up 10% compared to 2013. The country's annual demographic growth is at 1.22%, where over 10% of the population lives in the capital Tehran. Iran's construction sector is seeing a steady annual growth of 4.2% which is expected to double in coming years, especially in 2016 where the sector is projected to reach a market size of US$ 154.4 billion.
