Australia Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2028 (Q4 2024)

Summary

GlobalData’s Construction in Australia - Key Trends and Opportunities by State and Territory to 2028 (Q4 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Australian construction industry, including -

  • The Australian construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type and construction activity
  • Critical insight into the impact of industry trends and issues, as well as an analysis of key risks and opportunities in the Australian construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline
GlobalData estimates that growth in the Australian construction industry will slow from 9.1% in real terms in 2023 to 2.6% in 2024, driven by persistent weakness in the residential sector, along with elevated interest rates, material supply constraints, and high construction costs. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the total number of housing units whose construction has been completed fell by 1.8% year-on-year (YoY) in the first six months of 2024, following an annual marginal growth of 0.6% in 2024. Additionally, companies filing for insolvency within the construction industry rose by 65.9% YoY in the first 11 months of 2024, preceded by a sharp annual growth of 48.8% in 2023, according to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). However, the construction industry is expected to gain positive momentum from 2025, supported by an anticipated recovery in the residential and infrastructure construction sectors.

Over the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to record an average annual growth rate of 2.9% from 2025 to 2028, supported by investments in the development of housing, transport, renewable energy, and manufacturing sectors. The infrastructure development will be supported by the prioritization of the AUD120 billion ($78.1 billion) 10-year infrastructure investment pipeline of nationally significant projects, with the Financial Year (FY) 2024-25 (July 2024 to June 2025) Budget providing AUD16.5 billion ($10.7 billion) over 10 years, for priority road and rail infrastructure projects by 2034
