The UAE’s construction industry is once again in overdrive. With the country’s project pipeline expanding at record pace — from the new Dubai Airport mega-project  to dozens of high-rise and community developments — the demand for reinforcement steel  has surged beyond what the market can process. Rebar consumption is now exceeding 450,000 tonnes per month , of which nearly 70% requires cut and bend fabrication . In theory, this sounds manageable. In practice, it has triggere

The UAE’s construction and steel ecosystem is entering one of its most transformative and high-pressure phases in over a decade. What began in 2023 as a steady rebound in rebar demand has now evolved—by late 2025—into a full-blown supply-chain squeeze, particularly in the cut-and-bend segment. At the heart of this shift lies a simple but unforgiving equation: rebar consumption is growing faster than the country’s ability to process and fabricate it . The market’s appetite, dr
