Construction Market Size And Trend Analysis In Western Europe， Japan And Saudi Arabia

Western Europe

Overview of the Infrastructure Construction Report for Western Europe

The market for infrastructure building in Western Europe is projected to reach a valuation of US$ 490.9 billion in 2023, with a compound yearly growth rate (CAGR) of 2.6% anticipated during the forecast period. The government's initiatives to boost economic development through significant public investments help to sustain the boom.

Nevertheless, the surge in energy and material prices in 2021 and 2022 weakened the growth momentum and hindered the start of new projects in the area. Notwithstanding these obstacles, it is anticipated that throughout the course of the projection period, the roughly US$ 790 billion in EU-backed investment under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) will support infrastructure construction projects.

Western Europe Infrastructure Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors

The building of infrastructure in Western Europe includes a number of industries, such as roads, trains, water and sewage, energy, and power. The category of roads held a dominant position with over 46.1% of the total share in 2022 and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the projection period.

Roads: The Western Europe region's road network is well-established and connects both major cities and rural areas. It is one of the most developed sectors in the region. With most efforts going into maintaining the current network, the road quality in this region is among the best in the world. Nonetheless, there are several new projects planned, thus the region's road infrastructure construction is probably going to continue growing. For instance, the construction of an underground tunnel roadway, security barriers, bridges, and other related facilities are all part of the Oosterweel Link project in Belgium, which has a total estimated value of more than US$ 4.9 billion.

Electricity and Power: The electricity and power industry is the second largest segment in terms of market share within the Western European infrastructure construction market. The domestic governments of the region are expected to exert significant effort to promote energy-saving programs and increase attention to the generation of clean energies.

Nevertheless, these net-zero efforts were hampered by rising energy costs and a shortage of energy, with few nations choosing to generate electricity using coal. As a temporary remedy, Germany, for example, reopened five coal-fired power facilities in 2022. In spite of this, over the course of the projection period, investment in the power and electricity sector is expected to remain robust.

Water and Sewage: In terms of building production value in 2021, the water and sewage segment has the smallest market share (Real $ billion, 2017). When it comes to access to safely managed sanitation and the consistency of water supply, Western Europe continues to lead the way. It is anticipated that public investment in this field would not waver in the face of persistent economic difficulties.There are now numerous water and sewage projects in the region that need to be upgraded, renovated, rebuilt, and modernized. For example, two treatment plants in France are currently being construction, with a combined project cost exceeding US$ 5.3 billion. In a similar vein, two sewage facilities in Ireland are currently in the design and building phase, with a construction budget exceeding $1 billion USD. Therefore, it is anticipated that the region's ongoing improvements and developments to water and sewer systems will propel the segment's expansion over the projection period.

Others:Ports, inland waterways, airports, and marine are all included in the "others" category. The development projects in Western European countries are expected to be the primary driver of the segment's consistent growth in the airport industry.For example, the expansion of Frankfurt International Airport's terminal III in Germany is currently under implementation and is expected to be finished by the fourth quarter of 2023. It is projected that this expansion will cost more than US$ 3.0 billion in total. Similarly, pre-planning is underway at France's Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in order to build terminal IV. It is anticipated that this project will require approximately US$ 7.9 billion in funding, with construction expected to be finished by Q4 2037.
