Africa Construction Market by Type (Renovation and New Construction), and by Sector (Real Estate, Infrastructure, and Industrial)–Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024–2054
The Africa Construction Market size was valued at USD 196.77 billion in 2023, and is predicted to reach USD 239.99 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 1.5% from 2024 to 2030.
The African region, encompassing nations such as Nigeria, Kenya, and Ghana, is presently witnessing a surge in construction projects aimed at propelling overall market expansion. In Nigeria, escalating investments in construction are serving as a cornerstone for the sector's expansion. Data from the Global Infrastructure Hub indicates that infrastructure investments in Nigeria's construction industry surged to USD 23 billion in 2023. Notably, the energy sector claimed the largest portion, amounting to USD 7.2 billion, followed closely by the road transport sector, that received USD 5.9 billion. This sustained investment trajectory is anticipated to persist, nurturing continuous growth and advancement within the Nigerian construction market. Moreover, Africa boasts a considerable wealth of renewable energy sources, representing nearly 44.8% of the total potential for renewable energy technologies.
However, the construction sector grapples with significant hurdles arising from the intricate network of government regulations and permitting procedures. These processes often demand multiple approvals from diverse levels of authority, ranging from local municipalities to federal agencies. The regulatory framework encompasses a broad spectrum of prerequisites, including zoning regulations, environmental assessments, adherence to building codes, and safety standards. Delays in securing permits, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and disparities across jurisdictions can considerably prolong project timelines and escalate costs. Furthermore, fluctuations in regulations or sudden policy changes can disrupt ongoing projects and deter potential investments. For example, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) oversees various facets of the construction sector, such as air quality, waste disposal, and water regulations, offering compliance assistance resources throughout different phases of construction.
Conversely, the construction industry is experiencing a paradigm shift driven by digitalization and the widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM). These advancements are fundamentally reshaping project management practices by seamlessly integrating cutting-edge technologies to enhance efficiency, precision, and collaboration. BIM, a sophisticated 3D modeling tool, empowers stakeholders to create and manage digital representations of structures and infrastructure, thereby facilitating improved coordination and communication among project teams. For instance, the National Institute of Building Sciences (NIBS) introduced the U.S. National Building Information Management (BIM) Program in September 2022. This initiative is geared towards modernizing the construction industry and achieving unparalleled levels of industrial efficiency through digitalization. By bridging the digitalization gap in the U.S. construction sector, this program aims to streamline work processes, ultimately enhancing efficiency, cost-effectiveness, resilience, and safety in both construction and maintenance activities.
