Switzerland Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2028 (H2 2024)
Summary
GlobalData estimates the Swiss construction industry to grow in real terms by 1.1% in 2024, following an annual decline of 0.9% in 2023, supported by investments in renewable energy, affordable housing, and transport infrastructure projects, coupled with easing inflation. According to the Swiss government agency Pronovo, 602MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems were installed in Switzerland in the first months of the year, marking an 81% year-on-year (YoY) growth. In comparison, 1.5GW of new solar PV capacity was added in the country in 2023, 1GW in 2022, and 683MW in 2021. The country is experiencing a significant surge in solar PV energy, with the Swiss Solar Energy Association (Swissolar) expecting solar power to cover over 10% of the country’s total electricity demand for the first time in 2024.
The industry is forecasted to grow at an annual average growth of 1.6% between 2025 to 2028, supported by government investments in the housing, transport and energy infrastructure projects. The Swiss Federal Council plans to invest CHF16.4 billion ($19 billion) in railway infrastructure between 2025 and 2028, which is CHF2 billion ($2.3 billion) more than the current period. Among others, the funding will be used to compensate for rising prices, renovate the country's aging infrastructure and implement projects to promote accessibility for people with disabilities. For the 2025-2028 period, the government has also requested a credit of CHF185 million ($214.8 million) for investments in private freight transport facilities such as terminals and sidings
