China Construction Industry Report 2025: Output To Recover In 2026 And Grow By 1.3% Before Recording An AAGR Of 3.7% During 2027-2029, Supported By Investments In Industry, Infrastructure, And Energy

(MENAFN- GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) Market opportunities in China's construction sector include government-backed growth in energy and infrastructure, with focus on renewable energy, new energy storage systems, and expansive transport networks. Key projects include 3,600GW wind/solar installations, 461,000km highways, and extensive high-speed rail development.

Dublin, Jan. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "China Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (Q4 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets's offering.
The Chinese construction industry is anticipated to contract by 1% in real terms in 2025, owing to high tariff imposed by the US, coupled with a declining real estate market and a fall in fixed capital investment.

According to the National Bureau of Statistics of China (NBS), total investment in real estate development declined by 13.9% year-on-year (YoY) during the period from January to September 2025. Moreover, the value of new contracts signed by construction enterprises declined by 4.6% YoY in the first three quarters of 2025.

In 2026, the construction industry is projected to register a growth of 1.3%, bolstered by government initiatives aimed at stimulating the economy through financial incentives and new loans to promote construction in the energy and industrial sectors. For example, in September 2025, the China Construction Bank (CCB) issued CNY10.8 billion ($1.5 billion) in green bonds maturing in 2030. The proceeds from these bonds will be allocated to finance green energy initiatives, including renewable energy and clean transportation projects.
The analyst expects the construction industry to record an average annual growth rate of 3.9% between 2027 and 2029, supported by investment in industry, infrastructure, and energy projects. The government aims to install 3,600GW of wind and solar power projects by 2035. To facilitate this, the government plans to install 15GW of offshore projects each year until 2030.

Furthermore, in September 2025, the government set a target to achieve 180GW of new energy storage systems by 2027, with an estimated investment of CNY250 billion ($34.9 billion). Additionally, in October 2025, the construction was started on the CNY200 billion ($27.9 billion) transmission project that will span 2,681km, traversing Tibet, China (Xizang), Yunnan province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Guangdong province, Hong Kong, and Macao; this project is anticipated to be completed by 2029.

The anticipated growth over the forecast period will also be bolstered by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and the Ministry of Transport's initiative to build 461,000km of highways by 2035, along with the government's strategy to expand transport network to 130,000km of expressways and 53,000km of high-speed rail by 2027.
