Construction activity in Portugal was weak during the review period (2012–2016) due to the impact of the eurozone crisis, which resulted in weak investor confidence and high unemployment rates. A widening budget deficit and subsequent austerity measures implemented by the government reduced investments in construction projects.

The industry experienced a slight recovery during 2015 and 2016, albeit registering a growth of -0.04% and -1.7% in real terms in 2015 and 2016 respectively. This was preceded by an annual average contraction of 10.8% during 2012–2015. This revival could be attributed to the country’s economic recovery from the effect of the eurozone crisis.

The recovery is expected to continue over the forecast period (2017–2021), supported by a gradual improvement in economic conditions, export activity and employment rates. The government’s aim to develop the country’s transport infrastructure and enhance regional connectivity is expected to drive the industry’s growth over the forecast period. In real terms, the industry’s output value is expected to post a forecast-period CAGR of 3.46%, compared with -5.86% registered during the review period.

Scope

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the construction industry in Portugal. It provides:

• Historical (2012-2016) and forecast (2017-2021) valuations of the construction industry in Portugal using construction output and value-add methods

• Segmentation by sector (commercial, industrial, infrastructure, energy and utilities, institutional and residential) and by sub-sector

• Breakdown of values within each project type, by type of activity (new construction, repair and maintenance, refurbishment and demolition) and by type of cost (materials, equipment and services)

• Detailed profiles of the leading construction companies in Portugal

Key Highlights

• In a bid to address the growing demand for air travel, in April 2017 the Ministry of Public Work and Transport announced plans to develop a new airport in Montijo, Lisbon with a total investment of EUR4.1 billion (US$4.5 billion).

• Under the Northern Region Urban Development program, in May 2016 the government announced plans to invest EUR310.2 million (US$343.0 million) to support economic growth in the Braganca, Alto Douro region of Vila Real and Tras-os-Montes districts. This includes the construction of various social facilities, healthcare centers and schools in these regions. The government plans to initiate the program in 2018, with completion scheduled in 2021.

• The government’s effort to reduce traffic congestion and enhance regional connectivity in urban areas through the development of public transport infrastructure is expected to bode well for the infrastructure construction market over the forecast period. As a part of the National Reform Program, in April 2016 the government announced plans to invest EUR485.0 million (US$536.3 million) until 2020 for the expansion of the metro rail networks in Lisbon and Oporto. According to GlobalData, the infrastructure construction market is expected to post a nominal forecast-period CAGR of 5.14%, as compared to -9.84% registered during the review period.

• The government aims to transform the country into a digital economy by 2020. Accordingly, under the National Broadband Strategy 2020, the government announced plans to provide internet accessibility with 30.0Mbps speed to all households; and 100.0Mbps internet speed to at least 50.0% of the total population by 2020. This is expected to drive funding towards telecommunication infrastructure projects over the forecast period.

• Ongoing urbanization in the country is expected to create fresh demand for new residential units over the forecast period. According to GlobalData, the residential construction market is expected to increase in importance over the forecast period, to account for 13.1% of the industry’s total value in 2021.

 Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

 Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

 Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

 Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

 Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

 Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
