DUBLIN, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Ireland Construction Market Size, Trend Analysis by Sector, Competitive Landscape and Forecast to 2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The publisher expects the construction industry in Ireland to shrink by 2.6% in real terms in 2023 and 1% in 2024, owing to headwinds caused by high inflation, hikes in interest rates, and elevated construction material prices.
According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO), the average wholesale price index (excluding VAT) for building and construction materials rose by 9.2% year on year (YoY) in the first eight months of 2023, following overall annual increases of 17.5% in 2022 and 8.5% in 2021.
Residential construction, which accounted for 39.5% of the Irish construction industry's total output in 2022, is expected to be the hardest-hit sector in the initial part of the forecast period, owing to subdued investor confidence amid falling dwelling permits and residential property transactions.
According to the CSO, the total number of planning permissions granted for dwellings fell by 24% YoY in the first half of 2023, following overall annual fall of 16.4% in 2022. The industry is however expected to rebound at an average annual growth rate of 4.3% from 2025 to 2027, supported by investments in transport and energy infrastructure projects.
According to the 'Summer Economic Statement', which was signed off by the Irish Cabinet in July 2023, the government plans to increase core public expenditure by EUR5.2 billion ($5.3 billion) in 2024, marking an estimated 6.1% annual increase in core public spending. To accelerate the delivery of enhanced infrastructure, the government will utilise EUR2.3 billion ($2.3 billion) of windfall receipts for infrastructure projects from 2024 to 2026.
A windfall tax receipt is a tax collected by the government from certain industries when economic conditions allow companies functioning in those industries to experience significantly above average profits.
