Nigeria Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors
Infrastructure construction was the leading sector in the Nigerian construction market in 2022.
The key sectors in the Nigerian construction market are commercial construction, industrial construction, infrastructure construction, energy and utilities construction, institutional construction, and residential construction.
Infrastructure construction: The infrastructure construction sector is expected to grow at an annual average growth rate of more than 3% from 2024 to 2027, the government’s focus on prioritizing infrastructure spending to catalyze rapid economic development. Forecast-period growth in the infrastructure sector will also be supported by investments as part of the National Development Plan 2021–25. The plan is to increase the length of the total paved network, increase the country’s cargo handling capacity and aviation passenger traffic, and increase the percentage of the road network under scheduled maintenance and repair, among others.
Energy and utilities construction: The energy and utilities construction sector is expected to register an annual average growth of over 3% over the forecast period (2024–27), supported by investments in renewable energy, oil and gas, and telecommunications infrastructure projects.
Residential construction: The residential construction sector is expected to record an annual average growth rate of more than 1% from 2024 to 2027, supported by public and private investments on housing projects to address the country’s housing deficit. Rising construction material prices, supply chain disruption, and a dwindling number of potential home buyers will also weigh on the residential sector’s output in the initial part of the forecast period.
Commercial construction: The commercial construction sector is expected to register an annual average growth of around 3% from 2024-27, driven by investments in leisure and hospitality, retail, office, and data center building projects.
Industrial construction: The industrial construction sector is expected to grow at an annual average growth rate of over 2% from 2024 to 2027, supported by a rebound in manufacturing activities, coupled with an increase in new investments in the electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing sector.
Institutional construction: The institutional sector is expected to grow at an annual average growth rate of more than 2% from 2024 to 2027, supported by the increase in investment in healthcare infrastructure, coupled with the government’s ongoing efforts to develop and expand the country’s educational infrastructure.
