M2 - Fri Aug 21, 8:34AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lk8rvn/construction_in) has announced the addition of the "Construction in China - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2019" report to their offering. Construction activity in China has been fairly weak since 2014, due to a slowdown in the property market, huge unsold housing stock, a relatively sluggish economy and high local government debt-to-GDP ratios. Consequently, the country's construction industry posted growth of 6.8% in real terms that year. This was preceded by annual growth rates of 13.5%, 9.7%, 9.3% and 9.5% in real terms in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively. Moreover, China's fixed asset investment increased at the slowest pace in 15 years, from a 17.2% increase during January - May 2014, while fixed asset investment increased by 11.4% during the same period in 2015. In real terms, the industry's output value recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.85% during the review period (2010 - 2014), and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.99% over the forecast period. Key Highlights: - The construction industry in China is expected to grow at a slower pace over the forecast period as compared to review period, due to sliding economic growth. Expected expansion in the industry over the forecast period will be driven by huge demand for transport infrastructure and affordable housing amid the ongoing urbanization process. In an effort to boost domestic consumption - as the country's urban population as a part of the total is expected to increase from 53.7% in 2014 to 60% by 2020 - the government released the 2014 - 2020 urbanization plan in 2014.
