Over the remainder of the forecast period, from 2026 to 2028, the construction industry in South Korea is expected to record an annual average growth of 2.7%, supported by an increase in investment in the semiconductor industry, transport infrastructure, and renewable energy projects, coupled with the government’s plan to install 14.3GW of offshore wind energy by 2030. In line with this, in August 2024, the government reported that it will launch tenders for the 7-8GW of offshore wind power plant by 2026. Furthermore, in July 2024, the Haewoori Offshore Wind Project was approved by the government, which includes the construction of a 1.5GW floating wind farm in Ulsan by 2028. Growth over the forecast period will also be supported by the government's goal of attaining a 10% global market share in system semiconductors by 2030. In line with this, in July 2024, domestic chip supplier SK Hynix announced an investment of KRW9.4 trillion ($7.2 billion) for the construction of four semiconductor manufacturing plants in an area of 4.2 million m2 in Yongin by 2027.
