South-East Asia Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors
The South-East Asia construction industry covers commercial construction, energy and utilities construction, industrial construction, infrastructure construction, institutional construction, and residential construction. The residential construction category is predicted to account for the largest regional share in terms of construction output value (Real) in 2023.
Residential Construction: The residential construction segment is predicted to account for the second-largest regional share in real terms in 2023. The regional segmental growth is expected to remain sluggish this year owing to the deteriorating consumer confidence and affordability issues for potential buyers caused by rising inflation and higher borrowing costs.
However, the regional sectoral growth is anticipated to find momentum in 2024, supported by the construction of new housing units in the region. For instance, the Indonesian government’s plan to carry out projects through public-private partnerships, coupled with its goal of constructing five million housing units by 2027.

Institutional Construction: This segment is predicted to capture the smallest regional share in real terms in 2023. The South-East Asia institutional construction sector is anticipated to expand by 4.9% in real terms this current year, supported by public- and private-sector investment in the education and healthcare sectors. For instance, in its 2023 Budget, Singapore’s government increased its development expenditure for the healthcare sector by 24.7%, from SGD1.1 billion ($803.2 million) in 2022 to SGD1.4 billion ($1 billion) in 2023.
Infrastructure Construction: The infrastructure construction category is anticipated to register the largest regional share in real terms in 2023, supported by the increasing focus on infrastructure development. For instance, as part of the 2023 State Budget, the Indonesian government increased its allocation for infrastructure development by 7.8%, from IDR363.8 trillion ($23.5 billion) in 2022 to IDR392 trillion ($25.3 billion) in 2023.
Indonesia’s Minister of Finance also asked the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) to complete priority infrastructure projects before the end of President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi’s) cabinet period in 2024. This includes the construction of roads, airports, railways, bridges, dams, irrigation networks, and housing.
Industrial Construction: The regional institutional construction sector is anticipated to expand by 4.9% in real terms in 2023, supported by public and private sector investments in the education and healthcare sectors. For instance, in its 2023 Budget, Singapore’s government increased its development expenditure for the healthcare sector by 24.7%, from SGD1.1 billion ($803.2 million) in 2022 to SGD1.4 billion ($1 billion) in 2023.
Similarly, in February 2023, the Malaysian government approved an allocation of MYR55.2 billion ($12.6 billion) to the education ministry in the 2023 Budget, up from MYR52.6 billion ($12 billion) in the 2022 Budget. Of the total, MYR2.3 billion ($524.6 million) will be allocated to ensure quality infrastructure and learning facilities for children in schools across the country.
Energy and Utilities Construction: The energy and utilities construction section is predicted to account for the third-largest regional share in real terms in 2023. The sectoral performance in the current year is supported by the development of energy infrastructure, particularly renewable energy.
For instance, the government of the Philippines plans to increase the share of renewable energy in the total power generation mix from 21% in 2020 to 35% by 2030 and 50% by 2040. The country also plans to add 20GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
Commercial Construction: The commercial construction sector in the South-East Asia region is expected to grow by 2.5% in real terms in 2023, followed by an annual average growth rate (AAGR) of 6.3% from 2024 to 2027. Over the forecast period, growth will be driven by an improvement in tourism, leisure, and hospitality projects, coupled with increased investment in data center and logistics construction.
For instance, Singapore-based data center company, Princeton Digital Group (PDG), announced in February 2023 that they plan to build a 96MW data center campus in Batam, Indonesia. The campus will be built on 15 acres of land and will feature four buildings of 24MW capacity each.

The construction industry in Indonesia is expected to expand by 1.2% in real terms in 2023, down from a growth of 2% in 2022. This slowing of growth is due to elevated building material prices, weak commercial property demand, high interest rates and a softening of external demand. The industry’s growth in 2023 will however be supported by the government’s focus on infrastructure development.
Vietnam’s continued efforts to improve its business and investment climate are expected to help the country attract foreign direct investment (FDI) and register the second-largest regional share in real terms in 2023. According to the Ministry of Planning and Investment (MPI), FDI inflows into Vietnam continued to grow in the first five months of 2023. In the first five months of 2023, Vietnam’s FDI inflows reached nearly VND251.6 trillion ($10.9 billion).
The construction industry in the Philippines is estimated to register an annual average growth rate of 7.2% between 2024 and 2027, supported by the government’s focus on the development of the country’s rail and road transport and energy infrastructure, coupled with investment to develop affordable housing and social infrastructure. The government aims to construct one million housing units annually from 2023 to 2028 under the Pambansang Pabahay para sa Pilipino Housing Program (4PH) to address the country’s housing shortage of more than 6.5 million units.
