Construction in Belgium Key Trends and Opportunities to 2020

Published: Nov, 2016 | Pages: 80 | Publisher: Timetric
Industry: Construction | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Synopsis
Construction activity in Belgium was weak during 2012-2013 due to a period of recession that resulted in a deteriorating business environment. Low investor confidence and modest consumer demand reduced construction activity. The industry subsequently recovered in 2014, driven by an improvement in economic conditions and new investments in construction projects. The industry's output value in real terms recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 1.15% during the review period (2011-2015). Over the forecast period (2016-2020), the industry is expected to be supported by improvements in business confidence which will drive investments in infrastructure, commercial and residential projects. Forecast-period growth is expected to be supported by government efforts to improve transport infrastructure and develop regional connectivity. A focus on renewable energy production is also expected to support investments.
