The construction industry in Ethiopia is expected to expand by 8.7% in real terms in 2024, supported by investments in the country’s transport, industrial, and electricity projects. In the financial year (FY) 2023-24 (July 2023 to July 2024) Budget, the government allocated ETB203.9 billion ($3.5 billion) as capital expenditure. Of the total, ETB68.4 billion ($1.2 billion) has been allocated for roads, ETB55.8 billion ($946.8 million) for education, ETB22.6 billion ($383.4 million) for health, and ETB19.5 billion ($330.9 million) for water and energy projects. In March 2024, domestic airline company Ethiopian Airlines Group (EAG) announced plans to construct five new domestic airports at Mizan Tepi Aman, Yabelo, Gore Mettu, Negele Borena, and Debre Markos. Of the total, four airports are expected to be completed in 2024. In another development, in March 2024, the EAG reported that it is planning to build an additional airport near Oromia with an estimated investment of ETB459.7 billion ($7.8 billion).

GlobalData expects the Ethiopian construction industry to register an annual average growth of 8.9% from 2025 to 2028, supported by investments in the infrastructure, energy, and mining sectors. In November 2023, the government formulated a national mining policy, under which a transparent regulatory administration will be created to attract foreign and domestic investment and promote mining projects. In May 2024, Cyprus-based mineral company Kefi Minerals started construction of a gold mine in Tulu Kapi. The project will cost ETB18.9 billion ($320 million) and is expected to be completed by 2026. Growth over the forecasted period will be also supported by the government's target of increasing power generating capacity from 4.2GW in 2020 to 17.2GW in 2030. In April 2024, the World Bank announced a loan of ETB101.4 billion ($1.7 billion) for improving the electricity infrastructure, investing in energy projects, developing water infrastructure, renovating and constructing new projects in rural areas, and boosting access to the food markets. The Ethiopian construction industry’s growth over the long term will be supported by the government’s plan (announced in July 2022) to increase the country's road infrastructure coverage to 245,000km within the next 10 years.
