China Construction Industry Databook Series – Market Size & Forecast by Value and Volume (area and units) across 40+ Market Segments in Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional and Infrastructure Construction, Q1 2022 Update

Report Description

According to ConsTrack360's Q4 2021 Global Construction Survey, construction industry in China is expected to grow by 9.7% to reach CNY 9,509 billion in 2022.

Despite near-term challenges in certain construction sectors, medium to long term growth story in China remains intact. The construction industry in China is expected to grow steadily over the next four quarters. The growth momentum is expected to continue over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 5.6% during 2022-2026. The construction output in the country is expected to reach CNY 11,807.5 billion by 2026.

The slowdown in the Chinese construction sector results in declining economic growth

Due to the effect of the global pandemic, construction activities have slowed down in the country. This has resulted in a fall in the growth rate of its economy. The economic growth rate has declined from 7.9% in Q2 2021 to 4.9% in Q3 2021. Based on the government data, investment in the Chinese construction sector also experienced a decline in Q3 2021 when compared to Q2 2021.

The construction sector output during Q3 2021 remained relatively unchanged in China, growing by just 0.2%. ConsTrack360 expects that the slowdown in the construction sector is also caused by tighter regulations that have been imposed by the regulators on borrowing by developers. For instance,
• The Chinese conglomerate, Evergrande Group, is currently struggling to avoid defaulting on billions of US dollars owed to bondholders.

As a result of the regulatory crackdown, other large private developers might also face a similar situation. Consequently, in light of the current situation in the Chinese construction sector, ConsTrack360 expects the near-term outlook of the construction sector to remain challenging because of the uncertainties relating to the Evergrande debt problems.

Chinese authorities are loosening restrictions on home approvals and lending to avoid industry collapse

With the construction industry is facing many operational challenges, authorities have started to loosen restrictions on home approvals and lending to avoid a complete collapse. According to ConsTrack360’s Q4 2021 Global Construction Market Survey, in China, bank credit is being offered to property firms much higher than in any period during Q2 2021 and Q3 2021. Notably, mortgage lending in China increased by more than US$30 billion (200 billion yuan) in October 2021 from around US$23 billion (150 billion yuan) in September 2021.

Approvals for home sales and property loans are gaining momentum in Chengdu, the capital of the southwestern province of Sichuan. Moreover, restrictions on using proceeds from pre-sales have also been eased in the region. The Chinese Government is looking to ensure that there is enough liquidity to maintain construction in the property sector. Consequently, ConsTrack360 expects loosening restrictions to support the market growth in the next six to eight quarters.

Stability in the credit market to boost local government funding in infrastructure projects

Infrastructure construction activities have slowed down since Q3 2021. ConsTrack360 projects the higher interest costs faced by the local Government when issuing bonds to fund infrastructure projects to be the primary reason behind the slowdown in the infrastructure construction project. However, as the credit market becomes more stable, ConsTrack360 expects local government funding to start normalizing. From the near-term perspective, ConsTrack360 anticipates local governments to start funding infrastructure projects, such as renewable energy, transport, 5G network, and other advanced technologies.
