The Construction in Spain- Key Trends and Opportunities to 2029 (Q1 2025) report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Spanish construction industry, including:

  • The Spanish 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 Spanish 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 analyst expects the construction industry in Spain to expand in real terms by 4.2% in 2025, supported by investments in transport, renewable energy, and industrial projects, coupled with financial support from the European Union (EU) under the Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) and increase in the floor area of buildings permits issued. According to Eurostat, the floor area of buildings permits issued grew by 25.2% year-on-year (YoY) in the first ten months of 2024, due to a 33.6% YoY increase in non-residential building permits and a 18% YoY increase in residential building permits.

The construction industry in Spain is expected to register an average annual growth of 3.1% from 2026 to 2029, supported investments as part of the latest updated National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) for the 2023-2030; as per the plan, which was announced in September 2024, the government aims to cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 32% from 1990 levels by 2030. The plan also targets a 43% improvement in energy efficiency and achieve 50% energy independence by 2030. Additionally, it also set goals for renewables to account for 81% of the total power mix and 48% of final energy consumption by 2030. In terms of capacity, Spain aims to reach 76GW of solar photovoltaic (PV), 62GW of wind power, 22.5GW of electricity storage, and 12GW of renewable hydrogen by the end of this decade. The plan also includes producing 20TWh of biogas and reaching 5.5 million electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030. To achieve these targets, the government estimates a total investment of EUR308 billion ($326.5 billion) will be needed by 2030. Growth over the forecast period will also be supported by investments in industrial and energy projects.
