Construction in Slovenia - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2022

Summary

Following a contraction in 2016, the Slovenian construction industry rebounded in 2017, and registered growth of 7.8% in real terms. This was mainly due to recovery in economic conditions and a rise in public investment in transport infrastructure, healthcare and educational facilities. Improvements in consumer and investor confidence and positive developments in regional economic conditions have also provided growth momentum.

The construction industry will be supported by public and private sector investment in transport infrastructure, energy, commercial and residential projects over the forecast period (2018-2022). The government’s flagship programs, such as the National Program for the Development of Transport 2030 and National Housing Program 2015-2025, are expected to support the growth of the industry over the forecast period. In addition, the government’s investment under the Next-Generation Broadband Network Development Plan 2020 is expected to support this expansion.

The industry’s output value in real terms is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.86% over the forecast period - up from 1.22% during the review period (2013-2017).
