Australia is one of the very few countries which have done well in containing the spread of coronavirus outbreak. However, growth has been impacted due to extended lockdown, leading to weak economic activity in core construction sectors.
In comparison to the rest of the industry, residential construction has been more impacted due to coronavirus outbreak. According to ConsTrack360’s Global Construction Survey Q2 2021, housing sales declined by over 27% in 2020. Overall growth in residential construction is expected to remain subdued in 2021.
To boost the demand and growth of residential construction, the treasury announced the Homebuilder program on June 4, 2020. Under the program, the government will be providing eligible owner-occupiers a grant of AUD 25,000. Even first home buyers are eligible for the grant, which is provided to support the growth of residential construction in Australia.
Boosting the growth of residential construction will also positively impact workers and other related industries in Australia such as designers, architects, and furniture retailers. Moreover, with low-interest rates for loans, it is expected that many Australians will opt for renovations.
Commercial and retail construction sector is estimated to have declined by over 31% in 2020. The value of the commercial activity is expected to decline in 2021, before stabilizing in 2022-23. Increasing government spending will is required to lift the commercial construction activity, especially when private investment is extremely low in Australia.
Construction activity in office, hospitality, and education sectors are all expected to contract significantly. While health and retail have favorable projections, it will not be enough to overcome the slowdown in the commercial sector.
According to the budget, the government is investing heavily in the infrastructure construction sector in Australia. Overall, US$14 billion will be invested in hard infrastructure projects. This includes US$7.5 billion of spending on road and rail projects, US$2 billion for road safety upgrades, and US$1 billion for upgrading local roads and footpaths. Moreover, the government is also offering funding for accelerating the implementation of the 5G network in the country.
The coronavirus outbreak has had a significant impact on the Australian economy and the construction industry. The construction industry in Australia is expected to contract up to 12% in 2020. The outlook for the sector remains positive in 2021. The construction sector is expected to grow steadily in 2021.
According to ConsTrack360's Q2 2021 Global Construction Survey, construction industry in Australia is expected to grow by 6.4% to reach US$169.8 billion in 2021. Despite near-term challenges in certain construction sectors, medium to long term growth story in Australia remains intact. The construction industry in Australia is expected to grow steadily over the next four quarters. The growth momentum is expected to continue over the forecast period, recording a CAGR of 3.8% during 2021-2025. The construction output in the country is expected to reach US$196.9 billion by 2025.
