GlobalData expects the Sri Lankan construction industry to expand by 6.9% in real terms in 2026, supported by rising investments in the hospitality sector, coupled with increasing tourism activity, rising investments in transport and renewable energy projects. The government plans to allocate approximately LKR320.2 billion ($1 billion) in 2026, for road construction and repair damage from floods and landslides caused by Cyclone Ditwah. Furthermore, Sri Lanka’s President Anura Kumara Dissanayake has announced that the government will also seek a supplementary budget of LKR500 billion ($1.6 billion) from parliament to fund extra Cyclone Ditwah-linked spending in 2026, reflecting the government’s stepped-up fiscal response to the devastating storm.
According to GlobalData, the Sri Lankan construction industry is expected to register an average annual growth of 5.1% between 2027 and 2030, supported by public and private investments in renewable energy, transport and housing infrastructure projects. In April 2026, Sri Lanka and the World Bank Group launched a new five-year Country Partnership Framework (CPF), which aims to accelerate economic recovery, while generating investment and employment through private sector-led growth.
