Our researchers studied the market research and growth data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
The rising mass population shift toward urban cities is reshaping the landscape of these building activities, creating a surge in demand for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. The influx of people into urban areas is attributed to various factors, including employment opportunities, better amenities, and a higher quality of life. Urban areas, especially major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, are economic hubs with a wide range of job opportunities across finance, technology, and services sectors.
Additionally, the commercial real estate market is also booming as a result of the urbanization trend. With more people moving to cities, the demand for office space, retail, and entertainment spaces is high. In addition, investors and developers are taking advantage of this by building modern commercial parks and mixed-use projects. Thus, such factors will drive market growth during the forecast period.
Dry construction includes the use of materials, such as gypsum board, plywood, wallboard, metal supports, and stone wool, which just need to be screwed, riveted, or wrenched together and do not require additional time such as mortar to set in or harden. This significantly cuts down on the installation time, and the process is not affected by the elements of the external environment, such as moisture or rainfall. As these things make use of bolted structures or materials, they are comparatively easier to disassemble and redesign.
Moreover, this is more advantageous for people who like to routinely renovate their houses as it is more efficient economically and saves time. In addition, the market for this will witness considerable growth in Australia as more companies and developers adopt and make this type of technique available in the construction sector in Australia. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
The market is heavily dependent on material imports. However, the country is currently facing challenges due to the rising cost of materials and a shortage of manual labor, which may hinder the future growth of the market. Cement, iron, steel, and aluminum are the major raw materials used for construction. The increasing inflation and falling value of the Australian dollar have drastically increased the prices of raw materials in the country.
Further, the implementation of several large-scale public infrastructure projects in Australia has led to a shortage of raw materials, including iron and cement. The slow process of granting quarrying licenses and the need to import more raw materials with the depreciated Australian dollar value has increased the cost of raw materials, which is expected to limit the project implementations in the short term in Australia, which will thereby restrict the market growth during the forecast period.
The building construction segment will account for a major share of the market's growth during the forecast period.?The Australian population is increasing, and cities are becoming denser. According to the World Bank Data, the total population in Australia in 2022 was 26,005,540, which is an increase of 1.2% from 2021. Demand for housing, whether it is a single-family home or a multi-unit development, is on the rise.
The building construction segment was valued at USD 104.83 billion in 2018. Commercial construction is another important sector within this segment. As the business sector continues to grow, the demand for office and retail space continues to increase. Thus, such factors under the building construction segment will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Based on end-user, the market has been segmented into engineering, residential, and non-residential. The engineering?segment will account for the largest share of this segment.?Infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and public transportation systems are essential components of Australia's development. In the market the engineering segment is involved in projects that require specialist technical knowledge, innovative solutions, and compliance with regulatory requirements. Government agencies partner with engineering firms to develop critical infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and utilities. Further, companies in the energy, telecom, and manufacturing sectors often need engineering services to build facilities and infrastructure that meet their specific requirements. Thus, such factors under the engineering segment will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Companies are implementing various strategies, such as strategic alliances, partnerships, mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, and product/service launches, to enhance their presence in the market.
