South Korea Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2028 (Q3 2024)


Summary

GlobalData’s Construction in South Korea - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2028 (Q3 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information, and insights into the South Korean construction industry, including -
  • The South Korean construction industry growth prospects by market, project type and construction activity
  • Critical insight into the impact of industry trends and issues, as well as an analysis of key risks and opportunities in the South Korean construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline.
The South Korean construction industry is expected to contract by 1.9% in real terms in 2024 and 1.2% in 2025, owing to a decline in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), rising construction material prices, high interest, and inflation rate, and a decline in the number of building permits, coupled with ongoing weakness in the residential construction sector and rising fiscal deficit. According to the Korean Statistical Information Service (KOSIS), the total number of permits issued for construction declined by 11.4% year-on-year (YoY) in the first seven months of 2024, while the total gross floor area of construction permits issued fell by 16.6% YoY over the same period. Residential building permits alone declined by 17.8% YoY in January-July 2024, following Y-o-Y declines of 8.9% in commercial building permits and 3.7% in industrial buildings permit issued over the same period. According to the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy (MOTIE), FDI pledges fell by 13.1% YoY in the first half of 2024, reaching KRW20.1 trillion ($15.3 billion).

Over the remainder of the forecast period, from 2026 to 2028, the construction industry in South Korea is expected to record an annual average growth of 2.7%, supported by an increase in investment in the semiconductor industry, transport infrastructure, and renewable energy projects, coupled with the government’s plan to install 14.3GW of offshore wind energy by 2030. In line with this, in August 2024, the government reported that it will launch tenders for the 7-8GW of offshore wind power plant by 2026. Furthermore, in July 2024, the Haewoori Offshore Wind Project was approved by the government, which includes the construction of a 1.5GW floating wind farm in Ulsan by 2028. Growth over the forecast period will also be supported by the government's goal of attaining a 10% global market share in system semiconductors by 2030. In line with this, in July 2024, domestic chip supplier SK Hynix announced an investment of KRW9.4 trillion ($7.2 billion) for the construction of four semiconductor manufacturing plants in an area of 4.2 million m2 in Yongin by 2027.

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.
