Leveraging the Manufacturing Capability

The Gulf Cooperation Council countries, comprising of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have made significant strides towards increasing their manufacturing capabilities in recent years. The GCC region has been traditionally known for its oil and gas industry, but with increasing diversification and efforts to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, there has been an increasing focus on building a strong manufacturing landscape. The manufacturing sector in GCC countries has been driven by several factors, including favorable government policies and easy availability of raw materials.

Industries such as petrochemicals, cement, and steel have been prominent in the region, but there has been increasing investment in other areas such as electronics, automotive, and aerospace.

The governments of the GCC countries have been proactive in attracting foreign investment and providing incentives to companies looking to set up manufacturing facilities in the region. Apart from attracting foreign investment, the GCC countries have also been investing in building a skilled workforce to support the manufacturing sector. Several universities and technical institutes have been established in the region, providing world-class education and training in engineering, technology, and other related fields. Going forward, the manufacturing landscape in GCC countries is expected to continue reshaping with significant investment and support from governments. With continued investment in technology, education and infrastructure, the GCC region is poised to become a major hub for advanced manufacturing in the coming years.
