This sector includes roads and public works, water and sanitation, urban infrastructure, transport, energy and housing. Market sizes for the three countries were calculated for 2009 and forecasts determined for the period 2009 to 2016. In addition, market dynamics such as challenges, drivers and restraints were also identified

Market Overview
Rapid Urbanisation and Governments’ Initiatives towards Infrastructural Development Boost the East African Construction Industries
Governments’ focus on infrastructure development to eliminate urban slums is driving the east African construction industries. Additionally, the high economic growth in this region is stepping up the need for urban transport networks. “In 2009 most governments in the East African region allocated a large portion of their annual budgets to the construction of housing, roads, and civil works,” says the analyst of this research. “Approximately 60 percent of Kenya’s urban population resides in slums that are deemed unfit for human residence, thereby driving the need to provide more housing to the urban population and eliminate all slums around Kenya’s urban centres.” Various institutional reforms to promote the development of the construction industries are being implemented in this region. For example, the Kenya Slum Upgrading Programme (KENSUP) is an initiative to eliminate housing problem in the country. Such programmes are expected to address Kenya’s infrastructural backlog and promote growth of its construction industry.
However, intense competition from Chinese construction companies and the high cost of borrowing are some of the major obstacles to the development of the east African construction industries. “Chinese construction companies are largely preferred over local companies due to their comparatively low bidding prices,” explains the analyst. “Major contracts are awarded to these companies that make the construction business highly competitive.”
Stringent building planning regulations and high infrastructural standards are boosting companies to implement best practices for greater chances of receiving contracts in the east African construction industries. Therefore, participants that offer superior construction materials are more likely to receive government contracts in the long run. Furthermore, the projected high economic growth is expected to ensure continued growth of the construction industries in east Africa. “The East African construction industry has a poor reputation of producing sub-standard infrastructure,” says the analyst. “The implementation of best practises by utilising high quality construction material will give companies an edge and enhance their construction business.”
