Construction in Croatia – Key Trends and Opportunities to 2015

July 19, 2012 - PRLog -- The Croatian construction industry grew at a CAGR of 0.25% in the review period. The global financial crisis affected the Croatian economy badly, and its construction industry lost 6.0% in 2009 and a further 17.1% in 2010. In 2009, the country’s credit markets remained frozen because of the government’s refinancing needs, and as a result were unable to provide any stimulus to the market.

In 2010, infrastructure construction was the largest market in terms of market share, accounting for a 48.6% share of the total industry. The market declined at a CAGR of  2.40% over the review period, due to a lack of public investment. Market growth was largely affected by the decline in the sewage and water infrastructure categories, which recorded CAGRs of -6.94% and -4.40% respectively.

Before the financial crisis, the government of Croatia launched various schemes to encourage industries to set up plants in the country, but these projects were mostly cancelled or postponed as the financial crisis took hold in 2009. This resulted in the limited growth of the industrial construction market, which registered a CAGR of 3.26% over the review period, largely driven by growth in refinery buildings and waste processing plants with CAGRs of 16.41% and 5.54%, respectively.

The institutional construction market grew at a CAGR of 2.76% over the review period, with the institutional buildings and research facilities categories recording CAGRs of 8.53% and 4.34%, respectively.
