DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/6dxl5m/construction_in) has announced the addition of the "Construction in South Africa - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017" report to their offering.

“Construction in South Africa - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2017”

The South African construction industry recorded a CAGR of 13.72% during the review period. The construction industry output slowed following the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but has started to recover. Under the National Infrastructure Plan (NIP) that was adopted in 2012, the government will invest ZAR827 billion (US$100.8 billion) in infrastructure development over the forecast period.

The country faces a substantial housing deficit and will need government support to develop public housing and drive the residential construction market. The industrial sector, which had benefited from low wages, now faces labor unrest and will have to focus on increasing productivity to remain competitive.

While the large number of projects announced provides hope for the construction industry, corruption, mismanagement and price fixing threaten to undermine the proper implementation of these developments. Expects the South African construction industry to record a CAGR of 10.87% over the forecast period.
