BMI's Executive Summary

[TOP]

The Singapore construction industry comprises a large number of small and medium-sized contractors which compete with large companies that dominate the industry. This report forecasts that the industry is likely to grow at an average of 4.1% over the 2008-2012 period.

A lot of projects, such as the building of the Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) system, have been undertaken by the government to increase the use of public transportation. A number of redevelopment schemes for residential apartments are also underway. Major infrastructure projects in Singapore include: the US$3.37bn second casino resort project at Sentosa; the US$2.3bn bullet train project linking Singapore and Malaysia; the 10-lane Marina Coastal Expressway, and the US$1.8bn Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway project.

However, the trade-reliant economy is vulnerable to fluctuations in global demand as is demonstrated by the recent sub-prime crisis in the US. This may adversely impact infrastructural investments. Singapore is heavily dependent on overseas labour for the construction industry as compared to other sectors of the economy. High development charges for properties charged by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) and sky-high property prices are likely to slow industry growth.

Despite this, BMI estimates real growth in Singapore's construction industry to be 7.2% in 2007. The construction industry in Singapore is forecast to be valued at SGD8.11bn (US$5.4bn) in 2008, contributing about 3.4% of gross domestic product (GDP).
