Canada Construction Industry Report 2023: Output Projected to Shrink by 1.7% in 2023 and a Further 3.1% in 2024 - Forecasts to 2027 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Canada Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market France, 2023-2027" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The construction industry in Canada is expected to have shrunk by 1.7% in 2023, with the industry projected to contract further by 3.1% in 2024, owing to a weak economic outlook, falling building permits, high building construction prices, and continued weakness in the residential sector amid a tightening of monetary policy.

According to Statistics Canada, the total value of building permits issued fell by 7.2% year-on-year (YoY) in the first ten months of 2023, owing to a 14.9% YoY fall in residential building permits issued. In another setback to the industry, in August 2023, Canada's Alberta Province halted 118 renewable energy projects involving a total investment of CAD33 billion ($25.6 billion) until February 2024, to review renewable energy policies.

The publisher expects the Canadian construction industry to rebound at an annual average rate of 2.2% during 2025-27, supported by developments in the energy, transport, industrial and residential sectors. In November 2023, the federal government launched the CAD1.5 billion ($1.2 billion) Critical Minerals Infrastructure Fund (CMIF), under which clean energy, electrification initiatives, as well as transportation projects will be supported for a period of seven years.

Forecast-period growth in the industry will also be supported by investments in public housing projects, in line with the government's target to improve housing supply in the country. In November 2023, the federal and provincial government of Quebec announced that they will each invest CAD900 million ($698.3 million) over the next four years to accelerate housing construction in Quebec; the funding will be provided as part of the CAD4 billion ($3.1 billion) Housing Accelerator Fund, that was launched in March 2023 to build 100,000 homes in Canada.

According to the estimates of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the country needs to build an additional 3.5 million homes - on top of the current pace of building - by the end of this decade to restore affordability.
