Report Description

According to ConsTrack360’s Q4 2021 Global Construction Survey, construction industry in Canada is expected to grow by 8.8% to reach CAD 1,90,860 million in 2022.

Despite near-term challenges in certain construction sectors, medium to long term growth story in Canada remains intact. The construction industry in Canada 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 5.0% during 2022-2026. The construction output in the country is expected to reach CAD 2,32,243.2 million by 2026.

Low-interest rates, pent up savings, and economic expansion widened the Canadian construction market growth

In Canada, growth in the construction sector is driven by various factors, including low-interest rates, pent-up savings, and the general shift in consumption away from services to goods. The global pandemic slowed down the construction industry’s growth to some extent; however, the sector has jumped backed significantly in the last four quarters due to economic recovery. For instance,

  • The value of building permits has jumped significantly while reaching a peak of more than US$10 billion in Q2 2021. Notably, the growth in the building activity is largely seen in three main sectors – residential, industrial, and commercial office expansion.

    Residential: In Canada, there is a growth in the residential construction for all types of housing units, ranging from single-family houses to high-rise condominiums. ConsTrack360 also expects growth in rental apartment housing to accommodate the growing population in urban cities over the next four to eight quarters. Overall, ConsTrack360 expects robust growth in the residential construction sector from the short to medium-term perspective.

    Industrial: On the other hand, growth in the industrial sector is driven by the low vacancy rates and the demand for physical goods. According to JLL Canada, more than 36 million square feet of industrial space are under construction as of December 2021. ConsTrack360 expects this to support the growth of the overall construction industry over the next four to eight quarters in the country.

    Commercial: The amount of commercial building construction is also expected to further support the growth of the industry in Canada over the next four to eight quarters. Even at the time when the future of the workplace remains uncertain, there remain 19 million square feet of office space under construction across the country. Overall, ConsTrack360 expects positive growth in the Canadian construction industry from the short to medium-term perspective.

    Large Infrastructure construction projects are expected to boost the industry’s growth in Canada

    The Canadian Government is expected to invest heavily in transit projects over the next few quarters. Notably, transit projects are dominating the list of public sector infrastructure projects that are currently underway in 2021. For instance,
  • GO Expansion – On Corridor project is one of the largest infrastructure projects planned in the country. The construction project includes rehabilitation and renewal of the railway transit corridor and civil infrastructure. With a total investment of US$15.705 billion, the completion date of the construction project is expected to be 2025.
  • Some of the other transit projects undertaken in the country, such as Ontario Line (US$10.9 billion), R?seau Express Metropolitan (REM) (US$6.32 billion), and Hurontario LRT (US$5.632 billion), are expected to support the growth of the construction industry in Canada from the short to medium-term perspective.
  • Apart from these transit infrastructure projects, construction activities of the US$12.8 billion refurbishment project at Darlington Nuclear Generating Station and the US$10.7 billion worth of construction of the Site C Clean Energy Project are also expected to provide support for the growth of the construction industry in Canada over the next four to eight quarters.

    ConsTrack360 expects the growing investment in infrastructure construction projects to keep supporting the growth of the overall industry in Canada from the short to medium-term perspective.
