NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsis
In real terms, the Chinese construction industry's output contracted by 0.8% in 2015, following an average annual growth of 8.9% during the preceding four years. Weak economic conditions, low global commodity prices, poor fixed-capital investments, high debt-to-GDP ratios and low investment in real estate contributed to this decline.
According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the real estate investment growth rate reached 1.0% in 2015, the lowest level since 2011. This was preceded by annual growth of 10.5%, 19.8% and 16.3% in 2014, 2013 and 2012 respectively.
Over the forecast period (2016–2020), the Chinese construction industry is expected to grow more slowly than during the review period (2011–2015), due to poor economic growth. However, expected expansion in the industry over the forecast period will be driven by investment in public infrastructure and renewable energy, and improvements in consumer and investor confidence.
Government flagship programs such as the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016–2020), the National New-Type Urbanization Plan (2014–2020), social housing programs, China's 2016–2020 Energy Plan and Free Trade Zones (FTZ) schemes are expected to support growth over the forecast period.
The industry's output value is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.12% in real terms over the forecast period to 2020; down from 6.15% during the review period.

In the same year, the government announced plans to spend CNY124.4 billion (US$20.0 billion) on the construction of a 3,218km high-speed rail network from China to Tehran.
