Construction in South Africa Market 2018 – By Analyzing the Performance of Various Competitors

Construction in South Africa Market 2018–By Identifying the Key Market Segments Poised for Strong Growth in Future

PUNE , INDIA, April 18, 2018 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Synopsis
In real terms, the South African construction industry registered a growth of 0.3% in 2017. This was preceded by an annual growth of 0.7% in 2016 and 1.7% in 2015. This slow growth can be attributed to low commodity prices, weak government policies and ongoing political uncertainty. Declines in government revenue – due predominantly to low international demand for metal, minerals and other mining products – have also weighed on growth in the construction industry.

The industry is expected to remain weak over the forecast period (2018–2022), albeit with a slight improvement. Constrained government revenue and low private investment are expected to hamper the industry’s growth, as will ongoing political uncertainty. Despite the fact that the outlook for the South African construction industry is expected to be weak in real terms, there will be some support from investment in infrastructure and energy projects.
