DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Ghana Construction Market Size, Trends and Forecasts by Sector – Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis, 2022-2026” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

Ghana’s construction industry to register growth of 3.8% in real terms in 2022, following an estimated expansion of 5.7% in 2021

The sector’s output this year will be greatly aided by the restart of economic and infrastructure activities backed by the country’s improved vaccination rates and declining Coronavirus (COVID-19) infection rates.

According to the Energy Year Ghana 2022 report, the country is focused on strengthening all energy resources in the coming years, including a major downstream project of establishing a new petroleum hub corporation with an estimated investment of GHS364.4 billion ($60 billion), which is expected to begin construction in the second quarter of 2022.

The outlook for the construction industry in the early part of the forecast period is fraught with risks including rising inflationary pressures, currency fluctuations and interruptions in merchandise trade, all of which are projected to have an impact on consumer and investor confidence.

The depreciation of the country’s currency (Cedi) has had a significant impact on the industrial and energy sectors, even while production and exports are expanding. The Ghanaian cedi was the worst-performing currency among 15 top African currencies as of early March 2022, depreciating by 7.6% in the first two months of 2022. In addition, the country’s producer price inflation climbed to 21.4% year on year (YoY) in February 2022 from 16.8% in January 2022, according to the Government Statistical Service (GSS).

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is expected to register an annual average growth of 4.3% between 2023 and 2026, supported by the developments of transportation, energy, health, and industrial projects.
