The construction industry in Singapore is estimated to grow by 6.2% in real terms in 2026, supported by investment in transport infrastructure and data center buildings, coupled with increase in progress payments issued. According to the Department of Statistics (DOS), the total value of progress payments issued for construction rose by 18.5% year-on-year (YoY) in March 2026, preceded by YoY growth of 27.3% in February and 12.7% in January 2026. This was preceded by an annual growth of 8.7% in 2025. In January 2026, the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) of Singapore projected a high construction demand for 2026, with up to SGD53 billion ($41.3 billion) worth of construction contracts likely to be awarded. Furthermore. In January 2026, the BCA projected that Singapore's total construction demand averaging SGD39 billion ($30.4 billion) to SGD46 billion ($35.8 billion) per year from 2027 to 2030.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the construction industry is projected to grow at an average annual rate of 3.6% between 2027 to 2030, supported by investments in transport and energy projects, coupled with the government’s investment under the Long-Term Plan Review (LTPR), led by the Urban Redevelopment Authority, which set out a 50-year framework for sustainable growth, focusing on land use, transport, and economic priorities. A major part of the plan is rail expansion, with the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network set to grow from 250km in 2025 to 360km by 2030
