The construction industry in Slovakia is expected to grow in real terms by 3.2% in 2026, supported by investments in renewable energy, residential, and transport infrastructure projects. In December 2025, the European Investment Bank (EIB) revealed that it provided a EUR350 million ($382.2 million) loan - its largest corporate loan in Slovakia - to Západoslovenská energetika (ZSE) Group, a Slovakian electricity supplier to fund a multiannual program modernizing electricity distribution networks across western and eastern Slovakia and investments for Bratislava, over the next three years. The fund aims to upgrade high, medium, and low-voltage overhead lines and underground cables, modernize transformers and substations, roll out smart technologies and grid automation, enhance reliability for renewables integration, e-mobility, and rising demand from electrification in heating/transport, while boosting resilience to extreme weather in cohesion regions. This supports Slovakia’s National Energy and Climate Plan, REPowerEU, European Green Deal, and EU climate neutrality goals, aligning with EIB’s EUR1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) green investment target this decade.
Over the remainder of the forecast period, the Slovak construction industry is expected to record an average annual growth rate of 4.3% from 2027 to 2030, supported by investments in infrastructure, industrial, and energy sectors, coupled with the government plan to increase the renewable energy share in gross final consumption from 17.5% in 2022 to 23% by 2030. In October 2025, Gotion High-Tech, a Chinese manufacturer of lithium-ion batteries, commenced construction on Slovakia’s first mega-scale battery gigafactory in Šurany, spanning 65 ha in a strategic industrial park. The initial phase targets 20GWh annual lithium-ion battery capacity via joint venture Gotion InoBat Batteries (GIB) EnergyX Slovakia (Gotion 80%, InoBat Auto j.s.a. 20%), backed by up to EUR1.2 billion ($1.3 billion) investment from a EUR2.5 billion ($2.7 billion) dual-site plan including Morocco; construction completion is slated in 2027, creating 1,300 jobs in the region.
