Belgium Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors
Residential construction was the leading sector in the Belgium construction market in 2022.
The key sectors in the Belgium construction market are commercial construction, industrial construction, infrastructure construction, energy and utilities construction, institutional construction, and residential construction.
Commercial construction: The commercial construction sector is expected to decline in 2023, owing to subdued investor and consumer confidence amid rising interest rates and elevated inflation. However, the sector is expected to pick up from 2024 to 2027, supported by a rebound in tourism activities, coupled with investments in wholesale and retail trade buildings.
Industrial construction: This sector is expected to shrink this year, due to a decline in foreign direct investment (FDI) and export activities. However, the sector will be supported by investments in the industrial and manufacturing sectors, assuming an improvement in the wider economy from 2024.
Infrastructure construction: GlobalData expects the infrastructure construction sector’s output to grow in 202. From 2024 to 2027, the market will grow, supported by government plans to develop transport infrastructure with the help of the private sector.
Energy and utilities construction: Construction activity in the energy and utilities sector is estimated to grow in 2023. Over the remainder of the forecast period, growth will be supported by public and private investment in the development of renewable energy infrastructure.
Institutional construction: The institutional construction sector is expected to contract in 2023. However, during 2024 and 2027, the sector will grow, driven by public and private investments in the education and healthcare sectors.
Residential construction: GlobalData expects the residential construction sector to decline in real terms in 2023, due to weak consumer and investor confidence amid high inflation, interest rates, and housing prices. However, the sector is expected to grow from 2025 to 2027, supported by public and private investment to develop the housing sector.
