Summary
GlobalData forecasts that the Chinese construction industry will grow by 4.8% in real terms in 2023, following an annual growth of 5.5% in 2022, owing to an increase in infrastructure, energy, and utilities investment and project execution in the first seven months of this year. The construction industry's value add grew by 7.7% year on year (YoY) in the first half of 2023, preceded by Y-o-Y growth of 6.7% at the end of Q1 2023, according to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS).
The construction industry is expected to record an average annual growth rate of 4.3% between 2024 and 2027, supported by investment in development programs and infrastructure projects. In June 2023, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region launched a transport development program in Inner Mongolia that will involve an estimated investment of CNY34.4 billion ($5.1 billion). The plan includes the construction of 10,000km of trunk roads and 4,200km of rural roads, with construction works on the program scheduled to be completed by the end of 2024.
