Taiwan 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 estimates the construction industry in Taiwan to expand by 3.1% in real terms in 2025, supported by investment in leisure and hospitality, energy, and transport infrastructure projects. According to Taiwan's Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS), the construction industry’s value-add grew by 1.9% year on year (YoY) in Q4 2024, preceded by YoY growth of 2.8% in Q3 and 2.8% in Q2 2024. According to the Ministry of the Interior (MoI), the floor area of construction licenses issued rose by 5.1% in the first three months of 2025, increasing from 7.9 million m2 in January–March 2024 to 8.9 million m2 in January–March 2025. This was preceded by annual growth of 6.7% in 2024. In January 2025, NMDC Energy, a UAE-based energy and marine services company, was awarded an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract by the local Taiwan Power Company (Taipower). This contract involves the installation of pipeline, shore approach works and dredging for the Tung-Hsiao Power Plant 2nd Stage Renewal Project. The project, valued at TWD36.3 billion ($1.1 billion), entails the design, construction, and installation of 111km of subsea pipeline between Taichung and Tung-Hsiao on Taiwan's west coast.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry in Taiwan is expected to register an average annual growth rate of 4.1% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments in the renewable energy and transport infrastructure sectors. In February 2025, the Executive Yuan, the executive branch of the government of the Republic of China (Taiwan), approved a five-year, TWD5.5 billion ($172.9 million) plan to strengthen eight key railway bridges in Taiwan against earthquakes and floods. This project, led by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), will run from 2025 to 2029

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.
