Hungary Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector – Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2024-2028


Summary

GlobalData expects the construction industry in Hungary is expected to shrink by 1.8% in real terms in 2024, owing to headwinds caused by rising inflation, interest rates, construction material prices, coupled with declining investments in the construction industry. According to the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), the investment in construction industry fell by 24.9% year on year (YoY) in the first nine months of 2023, preceded by an annual growth of 3.3% in 2022. In addition, the residential and commercial sector’s weakness is majorly affecting the industry’s output in 2024. According to KSH, the total number of commercial construction permits fell by 16.1% in the first nine months of 2023 and the total number of residential construction permits fell by 43.2% in the first nine months of 2023, preceded by an annual growth of 3.3% and 19.7% in 2022, respectively.

However, the construction industry is expected to record an annual average growth rate of 5.7% between 2025 and 2028, supported by improvement in investments in transport, energy production projects, residential and commercial construction projects. In November 2023, the European Commission approved a plan to fund HUF2.6 trillion ($6.7 billion) in grants and HUF1.5 trillion ($4 billion) in loans to include the REPowerEU program under Recovery and Resilience Plan by end of 2026.
