The Construction in Italy - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2028 (Q3 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information, and insights into the Italian construction industry, including:

  • The Italian construction industry 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 Italian 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 construction industry in Italy is expected to expand in real terms by 6.6% in 2024, supported by a fall in construction costs, coupled with investments in energy and transport infrastructure projects. According to the Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat), the gross fixed capital formation in the construction industry grew by 7.3% year on year (YoY) in the first half of 2024, preceded by an overall annual growth of 3.5% in 2023. Moreover, the average construction producer prices declined by 1.1% YoY during the first seven months of 2024, compared to an overall annual rise of 1.3% in 2024.

The Italian construction industry is however expected to rebound at an average annual growth of 1.5% from 2027 to 2028, supported by public and private investments in transport infrastructure, renewable energy and industrial projects. Growth will be driven by the 2023-27 Strategic Plan, announced in January 2024 by Snam, an Italian energy infrastructure operator. The plan outlines a total investment of EUR11.5 billion ($12.2 billion) in transport, gas, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure by 2027. Of the total, EUR 10.3 billion ($10.9 billion) will be allocated to transport and energy infrastructure, while EUR1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) will be dedicated to energy transition initiatives by 2027. Growth over the forecast period will also be bolstered by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport's plan to revitalize the railway networks in Calabria and Sicily by 2030, with an investment of EUR47 billion ($49.8 billion). Key projects to be implemented by 2030 include EUR15.9 billion ($16.9 billion) for the Salerno-Reggio Calabria line and EUR13 billion ($13.8 billion) for the 207km Salerno-Reggio Calabria railway project.
