Construction in South Africa - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2020
LONDON, March 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Synopsis
South Africa's construction industry will continue to expand over the forecast period (2016–2020), with investments in infrastructure, residential and energy projects continuing to drive growth.
The industry's growth over the forecast period will be driven by investment in infrastructure construction projects under the National Transport Master Plan, through which the government aims to develop the country's rail network and ports infrastructure by 2050.
Investment in social housing projects will also support the industry's growth. The government aims to construct 1.5 million houses by 2019 to address the country's housing deficit.
The industry's output value in real terms is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.62% over the forecast period, up from 2.33% during the review period (2011–2015).
There are certain risks associated with South Africa's construction industry outlook, most notably, labor union strikes, a power crisis, high youth unemployment and a weak currency.
