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

Summary

The construction industry in Norway is expected to decline in real terms by 1.7% in 2025, following a contraction of 3.5% in 2024, owing to supply chain disruptions amid elevated material costs and weakness primarily in the residential construction sector. According to Statistics Norway (SSB), the construction cost index for residential buildings grew by 4.3% year on year (YoY) in the first eleven months of 2025, preceded by an increase of 3.7% in 2024.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to recover and grow at an annual average growth rate of 3.6% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments in energy, transport infrastructure and oil and gas projects, coupled with the government’s target of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2030, compared to 1991 levels. In November 2025, Statnett, Norway’s state-owned power transmission operator, announced its plan to invest NOK150-200 billion ($13.8-18.4 billion) in the national grid by 2035 under its 2025 System Development Plan. Furthermore, in July 2025, the consortium of energy companies, Equinor, Aker BP, Petoro, and TotalEnergies, announced an investment of NOK13 billion ($1.2 billion) for the third phase expansion of the Johan Sverdrup oilfield. The expansion works involve the addition of two subsea templates at Kvitsoy and Avaldsnes with eight wells—seven for oil and one for water injection—linked to existing infrastructure.

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.
