Hong Kong Construction Market: Key Trends and Opportunities Forecasted Through 2028
DUBLIN, March 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 'Hong Kong Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2024-2028' report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Following an estimated growth of 10.8% in 2023, the Hong Kong construction industry is forecast to contract in 2024, declining by 1.2% in real terms this year, owing to tight financial conditions, high inflation and elevated interest rates. The outlook for Hong Kong's construction industry is also associated with key risks, including the slowing of economic growth in China, increased material, labor and energy costs and the impact of a continued rise in interest rates on new construction investment.
Moreover, according to the latest figures from the Land Registry office, the total number of sales and purchase agreements of residential and non-residential buildings processed fell by 3.2% YoY in the first eleven months of 2023, reflecting weak demand for new buildings, which will further subdue investor confidence in short term.
The construction industry in Hong Kong is expected to register an annual average growth of 2.3% from 2025-28, supported by investment in the transport, electricity, housing, and industrial sectors. The industry's output will be supported by the government's commitment to the development of three major road schemes and three strategic railway projects to drive and support the city's development by 2030. It involves six projects that will result in a highly interconnected and accessible road network and rail system, as per the Strategic Studies on Railways and Major Roads beyond 2030.
Furthermore, the government has set aside HKD10 billion ($1.3 billion) for the completion of construction works to upgrade and expand university healthcare teaching facilities in order to accommodate approximately 900 additional healthcare training places by 2026. Growth over the forecast period will also be supported by the government's Long-Term Housing Strategy that involves the construction of 330,000 public housing units by 2032 on 350ha of land with an investment of HKD5 billion ($638.4 million) to address connectivity issue and housing deficits.
