Japan Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector, Competitive Landscape and Forecast, 2023-2027

Summary

GlobalData expects the construction industry in Japan to record growth of 0.9% in real terms this year, following an annual growth of 2.5% in 2022. Japanese construction investment continued to remain weak in the first quarter of this year, with private investment falling by 2.2% YoY in Q1 2023, following a contraction of 3.9% in Q4 2022. However, despite the weak investment volumes, leading indicators suggest the outlook for the industry is brighter. New orders received by constructors are accelerating, with growth of 3% recorded through the first five months of 2023. The sector’s output in the second half of this year will be supported by an expected improvement of capital investment in the energy infrastructure sector. However, downside risks to the outlook are significant, including the slowing of economic growth in China, rising materials and energy prices, and soft external demand from Japan’s major trading partners; this is likely to weigh on both economic and construction industry growth.

The construction industry is forecast to register an annual average growth rate of 1% over the remainder of the forecast period, between 2024 and 2027, supported by developments in the transport, energy and industrial sectors. As part of the 2023 budget, JPY780 billion ($5.9 billion) has been allocated for the development of businesses and the expansion of small and medium size enterprises, JPY450 billion ($3.4 billion) to for semiconductor manufacturing, JPY300.2 billion ($2.3 billion) in the education sector and JPY6 trillion ($45.5 billion) in the field of clean energy vehicles, research and development sector and the production of storage batteries.
