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

Summary

The construction industry in Israel is projected to grow by 12.9% in 2025, owing to a low base effect, following significant declines in 2023 and 2024 due to the ongoing conflict with Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel. The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) reports that the construction industry experienced a loss of ILS98 billion ($26 billion) in 2024, which represented about 4.9% of GDP and nearly 45% of the industry's output. Since the war began in the latter half of 2023, the Israeli construction industry had incurred losses totaling ILS131 billion ($34.8 billion). Additionally, the government suspended 80,000 Palestinian workers' permits, which had a significant negative impact on the industry in 2024. Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance of Israel indicated in January 2025 that the total government debt reached ILS1.3 trillion ($352.9 billion) in 2024, marking a 17.9% increase compared to the same period in 2023. These elements could continue to pose downside risks for the industry in the short to medium term.

The construction industry in Israel is expected to register an average annual growth of 5.3% from 2026 to 2029, driven by investments in transportation infrastructure, energy, and housing projects, and the government's target of generating 30% of electricity from renewables by 2030, compared to 13% in 2023. In line with this, in February 2025, the government awarded 1.5GW of battery storage energy projects across the country; with an estimated cost of ILS3 billion ($796.3 million), these projects are expected to be completed by 2027. Also, in January 2025, local energy company Dalia Energy revealed it plans to construct an 850MW power plant in Ashdod at an estimated cost of ILS5.3 billion ($1.4 billion).
