Bangladesh Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (H2 2025)

Summary

Growth in the Bangladeshi construction industry is expected to slow from real terms growth of 3.4% in 2024 to 2.3% growth in 2025, following elevated inflation and subdued investor confidence amid political uncertainty. The industry has also been crucially impacted by the cancellation of major projects, for example, in September 2025, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) cancelled 5.68GW of planned solar capacity across 34 projects. This came following a failure to secure implementation, power purchase or land lease agreements even after letters of intent (LoIs) were issued under the Special Provisions Act. Furthermore, in early October 2025, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) reported that it would cancel or redirect around BDT50.9 billion ($408 million) from projects in Bangladesh in FY2025-26, due to prolonged implementation delays as Bangladesh struggles with weak public investment spending.

Over the forecast period, the Bangladeshi construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 6.3% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investment in energy, transport, industrial and telecommunication infrastructure projects. A BDT30.1 billion ($241.30 million) financing loan agreement was signed in May 2025, between the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) for the construction of five Climate Resilient Bridges in Mymensingh Division, Bangladesh. Growth in the forecast period will also be supported by the government's target to generate 20% of total power from renewable sources by 2030 and 30% by 2040, compared to 5.6% in August 2025.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
