The Construction in Latvia - Country Briefing (H1 2025) report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the Latvian construction industry, including:

  • The Latvian 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 Latvian 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 Latvia to grow in real terms by 2.2% in 2025, following an annual fall of 6% in 2024, supported by investments in transport, electricity, and housing infrastructure projects. In November 2024, the Latvian state-owned energy company Latvenergo reported that construction of the EUR135 million ($143.6 million) 265MW solar park in Aizpute is scheduled for completion by 2025. Furthermore, in October 2024, Saeima, which is the parliament of the Republic of Latvia, approved the 2025 Budget, with an expenditure of EUR17.1 billion ($18.2 billion). The budget includes an allocation of EUR2.9 billion ($3.1 billion) for economic activity, including maintenance and renovation of national roads, public transport and Rail Baltica project, EUR1.9 billion ($2 billion) for the health sector, EUR1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) for the education sector, and EUR239.4 million ($254.6 million) for recreation, culture and religion, including for film industry, art and literature, cultural heritage, sports and other measures.

The industry is further expected to register an average annual growth of 3.7% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments in transport and renewable energy projects. The government aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 65%, compared to 1990 levels, by 2030 and achieve climate neutrality by 2050. To support this target, Latvia is focusing on increasing the capacity of renewable energy across the country. In September 2024, Latvenergo acquired a Latvian energy company Laflora Energy to build a 108.8MW wind farm at a former peat mining site in Līvbērze, with construction cost estimated at EUR185 million ($196.7 million). The project will feature 16 wind turbines of 6.8MW each. Construction is scheduled to be completed by 2026
