Construction in Belgium - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2022

Summary

The Belgian construction industry contracted by 0.1% and 0.8% in real terms in 2016 and 2017 respectively. This was preceded by an average annual growth of 1.1% during 2014-2015. This contraction can be attributed to weak consumer and investor confidence and a reduction in public and private sector investment in construction projects. Terror attacks in Brussels in 2016 also affected the tourism sector, and reduced the flow of investments in the construction industry.

Over the forecast period (2018-2022), the industry is expected to expand, driven by the governments focus on developing energy and transport infrastructure in the country. Moreover, an increase in building construction permits issued is expected to support new construction activity over the forecast period. Investments in energy and commercial developmental projects, and rising exports and the expanding tourism sector are also expected to support this growth over the forecast period.

The industry’s output value in real terms is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.22% over the forecast period, compared to 0.32% during the review period (2013-2017).
