Description Jump to:
The Construction in Australia - Key Trends and Opportunities by State and Territory to 2028 (Q2 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information, and insights into the Australian construction industry, including :
  • The Australian construction industry's 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 Australian construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline.
Following annual growth of 9.1% in 2023, the Australian construction industry’s growth is expected to slow to 2% in real terms in 2024, owing to an increase in the number of insolvencies, coupled with labour shortages, material supply constraints, and high construction costs. According to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), companies filling for insolvency within the construction industry rose by 39.5% year on year (YoY) in the first five months of 2024, following a sharp annual growth of 91.6% in 2023. Additionally, in November 2023, the government reviewed 82 government owned infrastructure projects worth AUD120 billion ($78.6 billion), of which AUD33 billion ($21.6 billion) worth projects were found cost overruns.

The construction industry is expected to record an average annual growth of 2.8% from 2025 to 2028, supported by investment in transport infrastructure, housing, renewable energy, health, education, and the manufacturing sector. The growth in the transport infrastructure will be supported by the government’s focus on its AUD120 billion ($78.1 billion) 10-year infrastructure investment pipeline of nationally significant projects, with the latest budget providing AUD16.5 billion ($10.7 billion) over 10 years, from its Financial Year (FY) 2024-25, for priority road and rail infrastructure projects. A total of AUD4.1 billion ($2.7 billion) will be spent over the seven years from FY2024-25 for 65 new priority infrastructure projects and AUD10.1 billion ($6.6 billion) on ensuring the completion of ongoing projects within 10 years from FY2023-24. However, labor and skill shortages, and elevated material costs may constrain progress on the pipeline in the short term, with a review of the pipeline in November 2023 finding cost overruns of AUD33 billion ($21.6 billion), resulting in funding for 50 projects being cut.
