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

Summary

GlobalData expects the construction industry in Tanzania to grow by 6.2% in real terms in 2025, supported by investments in manufacturing, transport and energy infrastructure projects. According to the Tanzania Investment and Special Zones Authority (TISEZA), the country registered 201 investment projects worth TZS6.2 trillion ($2.3 billion) between July and September 2025. The main sectors attracting the most capital were manufacturing, commercial building construction, and transportation. Rising foreign direct investments (FDI) is also expected to bolster industry growth in the coming quarters. According to the Tanzania Investment Centre, FDI inflows to Tanzania rose 21.6% year-on-year (YoY), from TZS14.6 trillion ($5.4 billion) in the fiscal year (FY) 2023-24 (July 2023 to June 2024) to TZS17.8 trillion ($6.6 billion) in FY2024-25. The government is further targeting TZS40.4 trillion ($15 billion) in FDI by 2026. To achieve this target, the Tanzanian government is pushing for deeper US ties. In the Tanzania-US Trade and Investment Forum that was held in September 2025, the Vice President of Tanzania has pitched the mining sector, highlighting the country's abundant mineral reserves. In addition to mining, the Tanzanian government is also seeking US investment in the agro-processing, pharmaceutical, and logistics sectors, among others.

The Tanzanian construction industry is expected to register an average annual growth of 7.2% between 2026 and 2029, supported by investments in cross border transport infrastructure, water infrastructure projects. In October 2025, China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) signed a TZS3.8 trillion ($1.4 billion) deal to refurbish and operate the 1,860km Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA), which connects Zambia’s Copperbelt to the port city of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania. This agreement combines an initial investment of TZS3 trillion ($1.1 billion), with an additional TZS641.4 billion ($238 million) reinvested into the severely degraded railway, involving extensive track rehabilitation, upgrades to workshops, and maintenance. Additionally, in July 2025, Tanzania has signed three grant agreements totaling TZS78.58 billion ($29.2 million) with Germany, facilitated by the German Development Bank (KfW). These agreements aim to support essential projects related to water supply, climate resilience, and natural resource conservation. One component of the funding is designated to assist water utilities in obtaining loans for the construction or reconstruction of their systems.

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.
