Summary
The Belgian construction industry valued EUR67.7 billion (US$94.3 billion) in 2012, recording a CAGR of 3.91% during the review period. Construction output decelerated from 7.1% in 2011 to 1.6% in 2012, as the Belgian economy contracted. Residential construction was the largest construction market and comprised a 48.9% share of the total construction industry value. Belgium recorded a housing price boom from 2000 to the first-half of 2008, driven by strong economic and income growth, low interest rates and increased competition among banks with regards to supplying credit. Unlike other European countries, such as Spain and Ireland, strong housing price increases did not give rise to a building boom. In terms of sales, total transactions declined by over 7% y-o-y in June 2012 while house price inflation slowed. Marginal economic growth is projected for 2013. This combined with rising unemployment, low consumer confidence, and a tight credit market means that the housing market will remain subdued over the year. The market is expected to rebound in 2014 driven by an improvement in the economic environment, strong housing demand, low interest rates and moderate household debt.

Residential construction was the largest construction market and comprised a 48.9% share of the total construction industry value. Belgium recorded a housing price boom from 2000 to the first half of 2008, driven by strong economic and wage growth, low interest rates and increased competition among banks. Unlike other European countries, such as Spain and Ireland, a strong housing price increase did not give rise to a building boom. Following a brief recovery in 2010 and 2011, the residential construction market weakened significantly, as the country faced a decline in economic output. Demand still exceeds supply however, and although the market will remain subdued over 2013, the long-term prospects are positive.
