Iran Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (H1 2025)

Summary

GlobalData expects the construction industry in Iran to see a slight contraction of 0.6% in real terms in 2025, due to headwinds such as high inflation, the ongoing war in the country with Israel and the US, recent tariff implications by the US, political instability, the devaluation of the Iranian Rial against the US Dollar, and a growing energy imbalance. In October 2024, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for the assassination of key allies, declaring war on Israel. The conflict escalated in early April 2025 when Israel struck Iran’s consulate in Damascus, killing two Iranian generals, and in mid-April 2025, Iran responded by launching 300 missiles and drones at Israel. The war became full-scale in mid-June 2025, when Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” attacking Iran’s nuclear sites, killing top Iranian commanders and scientists, and destroying air defenses, prompting Iran to retaliate with a missile barrage on Israeli cities, including Beersheba, Tel Aviv, and Haifa.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, between 2025 and 2028, the construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth rate of 3.8%, supported by investments in industrial, transport, housing, and energy sectors, in line with the government’s plan to add 30GW of renewable energy generation by 2030. To support this, in June 2025, the government reported that it had signed an agreement for the construction of eight nuclear power plants in the country with Russia. Apart from this, Russia will also help in the construction of two additional reactors at the nuclear plant of Bushehr to push the country’s nuclear power generation from 1GW to 3GW, once completed by 2026
