GlobalData revised up the growth forecast for Slovenia’s construction industry for 2026, from a real term 5.4% in the Q2 2026 update to 11.5% in the Q3 2026 update, supported by increase in residential building permits issued and increase in investment in infrastructure and industrial projects. According to the Statistical Office of Slovenia (SURS), the average value of construction put in place grew in real terms by 21.4% year on year (YoY) in the first seven months of 2026, preceded by an annual growth of 10.1% in 2025. In terms of segments, civil engineering works grew by 25.6% YoY in the first seven months of 2026, specialized construction activity grew by 19.6% YoY and building activity grew by 19.2% YoY during the same period. Furthermore, the total number of people employed in the Slovenian construction industry grew by 15.9% YoY in Q4 2025, preceded by YoY growth of 24.1% in Q3 and 11.8% in Q2 2025, reflecting sustained labor demand. According to the SURS, Slovenia’s economy grew by 5% YoY in real terms the second quarter of 2026, preceded by YoY growth of 3.2% in Q1 2026 and 2% in Q4 2025. Following two years of slowing growth, economic activity rebounded strongly in the first half of 2026, significantly outperforming expectations.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to record an average annual growth rate of 2.8% from 2027 to 2030, supported by public and private sector investments across transport, railway, port, industrial, healthcare, residential, and renewable energy projects, alongside continued government policy support and funding through the RRP. To address a growing housing crisis, Slovenia plans to invest EUR100 million ($116 million) annually to construct public rental housing by 2035. The plan involves the construction of 20,000 public rental homes by 2035. The program also plans to increase the share of public rental housing from 4% to 8% over the next decade, supporting residential construction activity and expanding the country's affordable housing stock. In July 2026, the Public Housing Fund of the City of Ljubljana (JSS MOL) provided an update on its public housing development pipeline, comprising around 4,000 housing units across Ljubljana. Most projects remained in the planning, permitting, or land acquisition stages, with only the Povšetova residential neighborhood having obtained a building permit.
