Slovakia Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2024-2028

Summary

The construction industry in Slovakia is expected to shrink by 1.9% in real terms in 2024, owing to weak investor and consumer confidence amid rising interest rates, energy prices, construction materials prices, and a fall in the number of building permits. According to Slovak Republic (SOS), the total number of new building permits in the country declined by 21% year on year (YoY) in the first three quarters of 2023, compared by an annual decline of 6% in 2022. In addition, according to Eurostat, the construction producer cost index for new residential buildings rose by 12.6% YoY in the first nine months of 2023, following an annual increase of 21.7% in 2022.

The industry’s output is expected to rebound at an average annual growth rate of 3.8% from 2025 to 2028, supported by investments in infrastructure, energy, and industrial sector, which is backed by the European Union (EU) recovery funds. In July 2023, the European Commission approved the country’s modified Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) worth EUR6.4 billion ($6.5 billion) in grants, compared with the previous plan of EUR6 billion ($6.1 billion) grant in 2022. According to the modified plan, the total amount allocated to the renewable energy sector increased from 42% in June 2021 to 46% in July 2023. The plan also includes an allocation of EUR930 million ($952.3 million) for the modernization of the hospital, EUR759.3 million ($777.5 million) for the modernization of railways, 162 km of new cycling infrastructure and the installation of 3,000 charging stations.
