The "South Korea 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.

The South Korean construction industry is expected to contract by 3.4% in real terms in 2024 and by 1.4% in 2025, owing to a sustained decline in new building orders, high construction costs and elevated interest rates.

The total number of building permits issued fell by 11.6% year on year (YoY) in the first four months of 2024, preceded by an annual decline of 25.3% in 2023, according to the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS). The value add of the construction industry declined by 0.7% YoY in Q1 2024, following a Y-o-Y decline of 2.4% in Q4 2023. According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, a total of 21 construction companies went bankrupt in 2023, an increase of 50% compared with 2022.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, from 2026 to 2028, the construction industry in South Korea is expected to record an annual average growth of 2.7%, supported by an increase in investment in the semiconductor manufacturing sector, and investment in transport infrastructure and renewable energy projects. The South Korean government announced a support package worth KRW26 trillion ($19.8 billion) in May 2024 to support the development of the semiconductor industry in the country.

Further support for construction industry growth will be provided by the government's plan to increase the share of renewable energy in the power mix from 9.2% in March 2024 to 21.6% in 2030, and install 14.3GW of offshore wind energy by 2030, which is expected to drive investment in the renewable energy sector.
