Zambia Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors

Residential construction was the leading sector in the Zambia construction market in 2022

The key sectors in the Zambia construction market are commercial construction, industrial construction, infrastructure construction, energy and utilities construction, institutional construction, and residential construction. In 2022, the residential construction sector accounted for the highest market share.
Residential construction: The project types in this sector include single-family housing and multi-family housing. The rising population, ongoing urbanization, and a growing middle-class will keep housing demand buoyant, which will contribute to the sector’s growth during the forecast period. Furthermore, public and private sector investments in the housing sector, to address the rising housing deficit in the country, will boost the sector’s revenue growth.

Infrastructure construction: The project types in this sector include rail infrastructure, road infrastructure, and other infrastructure projects. The sector output will be supported by investments in developing regional transportation infrastructure during the forecast period. In the 2024 Budget, the government allocated ZMK8.3 billion ($473.2 million) toward road infrastructure for the ongoing road construction projects, along with rehabilitating, upgrading, and maintaining feeder roads across the country and ZMK700.7 million ($39.9 million) to upgrade aerodrome infrastructure.

Energy and utilities construction: The project types in this sector include electricity and power, oil and gas, telecommunications, sewage infrastructure, and water infrastructure. The sector’s growth over the forecast period will be attributed to the government’s investments in developing electricity, gas, and telecommunication infrastructure. Furthermore, the government’s goal of electrifying 1,217 rural growth centers by 2030 as part of the Rural Electrification Master Plan will propel the energy and utilities construction sector.

Commercial construction: The project types in this sector include leisure and hospitality buildings, office buildings, outdoor leisure facilities, retail buildings, and other commercial construction. The sector’s growth over the forecast period will be supported by the government’s focus on reviving the tourism sector, coupled with investments on leisure and hospitality, retail and office projects. Moreover, Finance Minister announced in September 2023 that the government secured ZMK1.8 billion ($100 million) under the Green, Resilient and Transformational Tourism Development Project to develop the tourism sector and to attract more tourists.

Industrial construction: The project types in this sector include chemical and pharmaceutical plants, manufacturing plants, metal and material production and processing plants, and waste processing plants. Investments and the creation of economic zones, coupled with investments in the country’s manufacturing sector, will contribute to the sector growth in the coming years. The other factor that will drive the growth is government’s goal of increasing copper production from around 763,287 metric tons in 2022 to approximately three million metric tons per year by 2030.

Institutional construction: The project types in this sector include educational buildings, healthcare buildings, institutional buildings, research facilities, and religious buildings. The sector’s growth is expected to be supported by government’s focus on providing affordable healthcare facilities coupled with private and public investments to develop the education sector.

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.
