Africa Construction Materials Exhibition (Ghana) 2025 ABS

The African (Ghana) Building Materials Exhibition (ABS Ghana), carefully planned and organized by the Middle East International Exhibition Group, has now become one of the largest and most renowned exhibitions in Ghana. As a highly profitable, multi-billion dollar construction industry market focused event, ABS Ghana 2025 is not only a leading B2B communications platform for global construction suppliers to participate in, but also an important force in promoting the development of the industry.

At the 2024 Expo Summit, many important guests came to give their advice, including the High Commissioner of South Africa to Ghana, the CEO of the Ghana Free Zone Authority, the CEO of SIGA, the distinguished Ambassador Mr. Edward Boateng and the Pakistani Ambassador. in Ghana, their presence demonstrated once again the high level and international influence of the exhibition.

Looking to the future, the Africa Building Materials Exhibition (Ghana) 2025 (ABS Ghana) will be launched at the Accra International Conference Center from July 22-24, 2025. The exhibition is committed to deepening its influence in the African region by comprehensively covering the entire industrial chain from project planning to acceptance of completion, and opening a golden channel and bridge for exhibitors to access the African market. It is expected that more than 300 leading exhibitors from 15 countries around the world will gather to discuss the development plan of the construction and building materials market and work together to expand a wider market territory.

Analysis of market potential

Ghana is located on the northern shore of the Gulf of Guinea in West Africa. It benefits from a unique geographical location, bordering Ivory Coast to the west, Burkina Faso to the north, Togo to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the south. . It has a coastline of approximately 562 kilometers. In recent years, Ghana’s economy has experienced strong growth and the pace of urbanization has accelerated. This trend has created a huge demand for the construction sector. Whether it is residential, commercial, industrial or infrastructure construction, they all show a booming development scene, which has led to the continuous expansion of the construction and building materials market . Specifically, the continued growth of urban population has promoted the vigorous development of real estate projects, further intensifying the demand for building and construction materials.

The Ghanaian government also actively promotes infrastructure construction, covering roads, bridges, railways, airports, ports and other areas. In order to accelerate the construction of the railway network and promote economic development, Ghana released a revised railway development master plan in 2020. The plan aims to expand the total standard gauge mileage of Ghana’s railway network to 3 844 kilometers by 2035, connecting capitals, industrial cities and transport hubs in 16 regions of the country. It is expected to reach an average cargo speed of 80 kilometers per hour. and an average passenger speed of 120 kilometers per hour.

John Peter Ameu, Minister of Railway Development of Ghana, highlighted that the railway development master plan is being implemented steadily and that over US$1 billion has been invested in the construction of the railway network, covering the implementation upgrading trains, improving maintenance capabilities and modernization. , etc. This indicates that there will be a new round of infrastructure investment and a construction boom in the future. Minister Ameu stressed that Ghana is committed to becoming a transport hub in the West African region.

The implementation of these infrastructure projects has generated a huge demand for construction materials such as cement, steel, stone, glass, etc., providing broad development prospects to the construction and construction market. building materials. However, due to the relative lack of natural resources in Ghana, local production capacity for some construction materials is insufficient to meet market demand. For example, cement, stone and other construction materials must rely heavily on imports. The main import sources are China, Europe, the Middle East and other regions. Among them, Chinese construction products and materials occupy a significant share in the Ghanaian market due to their favorable prices and continuous improvement in quality.

In order to attract foreign investment to participate in infrastructure construction, the Ghanaian government has launched corresponding support policies and actively cooperates with international financial institutions, officials and businesses in other countries. For example, under the Belt and Road Initiative, China has cooperated with Ghana and Chinese companies have participated in the construction of the country’s railways, ports and other infrastructure projects. Ghana. Furthermore, Ghana’s policies such as “one district, one factory” also provide more opportunities for exhibitors to expand the market.
