This was supported by private and public investments in Hong Kong’s infrastructural and industrial construction projects. The outlook for construction is favorable, as a result of the government’s focus on infrastructure and residential construction. Government efforts to increase land supply for commercial and residential use will also drive the industry’s growth over the forecast period. The construction industry’s output is expected to record a nominal CAGR of under 9% over the forecast period, to reach a value of over HKD270 billion (over US$35 billion) by 2018.
