Dublin, Aug. 30, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Cameroon Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2028 (H2 2024)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The construction industry in Cameroon is expected to expand by 5.5% in real terms in 2024, driven by growing investment in transport infrastructure, energy, and industrial sectors. According to the National Institute of Statistics of Cameroon (NSO), the construction industry's value-add grew by 3.4% year on year (YoY) in Q4 2023, preceded by Y-o-Y growth of 3.7% in Q3 and 1.5% in Q2 2023.
In May 2024, the African Development Bank (AfDB) announced plans to provide CFA1.5 trillion ($2.5 billion) in funding for 26 transportation infrastructure projects. Supported projects include the construction of a road connecting Djoumv (Cameroon) to Ketta (Republic of the Congo), the road linking Bamenda (Cameroon) to Enugu (Southeast Nigeria), and the construction of the Cross River Bridge connecting Mfum (Nigeria) to Ekok (Cameroon). Of the total funding, around CFA334.2 billion ($540 million) will also be directed towards the development of the second phase of the Yaounde-Douala Highway project in Cameroon.
The analyst expects Cameroon's construction industry to register an annual average growth of 6.2% from 2025 to 2028, supported by public-private sector investment in transport and energy infrastructure development, coupled with investment under the Strategie Nationale de Development 2020-30 plan (National Development Strategy, known as SND30). Through the SND30 initiative, the Cameroonian government aims to increase the overall paved road length from 9,885km in 2023 to 11,300km by 2027, by building an additional 1,415km of paved roads.
Additionally, the government is planning to invest CFA37.5 trillion ($60.6 billion) on flagship plans, programs, and projects by 2030, including CFA5.9 trillion ($9.5 billion) on the energy plan to upgrade all transmission and distribution networks and boost hydroelectric, solar, thermal, and biomass energy production capacities. Furthermore, Cameroon Real Estate Corporation (SIC) aims to construct 10,000 high-end apartments and 30,000 social housing units by 2035, which is also expected to drive growth in the residential construction sector.
