Construction in Canada Key Trends and Opportunities to 2021
LONDON, July 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsis
Construction activity in Canada was weak during the review period (2012–2016), as a result of depressed economic conditions, low oil prices and weak demand for the country's major exports. Poor investor confidence led to reduced infrastructure construction activity.

However, the industry's value is expected to improve over the forecast period (2017–2021). Although the probable persistence of low oil prices is expected to hamper growth throughout 2017, the industry is expected to pick up during the latter part of the forecast period, driven by government efforts to stimulate the economy through investment in public infrastructure and energy projects.
Gradual improvements in consumer and investor confidence are also expected to drive private sector investment in construction projects in the coming years.
In real terms, the industry's output value registered a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -0.40% during the review-period and is expected to post a CAGR of 1.64% over the forecast period.
