GlobalData expects the construction industry in Nigeria to grow by 4% in real terms in 2022, down from a previous projection of 5.7% growth this year. The downward revision primarily reflects the impact of rising inflation, supply chain disruptions, and a drop in consumer confidence during the first half of this year. However, the industry's growth this year will be aided by developments in transportation and energy infrastructure, combined with an increase in domestic and foreign direct investments. According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), total domestic and foreign investment in the country rose by 1.8% year on year (YoY) in the first six months of 2022, rising from NGN1.1 trillion ($2.8 billion) in H1 2021 to NGN1.3 trillion ($3.1 billion) in H2 2022. In terms of foreign direct investment (FDI), the country recorded NGN127 billion ($309.9 million) in the first six months of 2022, compared to NGN118.6 million ($289.3 million) in the same period of 2021-representing a 7.1% YoY increase.
GlobalData expects the industry to register annual average growth of 3.1% from 2023 to 2026, supported by investments as part of the National Development Plan 2021-25, which was unveiled in December 2021. The plan focuses on economic rejuvenation, including strengthening industrialization and alleviating poverty. The government plans capital expenditure of NGN49.7 trillion ($121.3 billion) for infrastructure projects during the period, with NGN298.3 trillion ($727.8 billion) expected from the private sector. It also plans to increase FDI from NGN605.8 billion ($1.5 billion) in 2020 to NGN2 trillion ($4.9 billion) by 2025. By 2025, the government also aims to boost the contribution of non-oil exports by introducing effective trade policies and strategies.
