Italy Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2030 (Q2 2026)

The analyst estimates the Italian construction industry to contract in real terms by 1.5% in 2026, owing to a reduced government spending, weak business sentiment, coupled with high inflation amid the Middle-east war and, high public debt. According to the Italian National Institute of Statistics (Istat), the total floor area for non-residential buildings issued fell by 0.4% in 2025. According to Istat, the business confidence index in the construction industry declined by 2.1% year on year (YoY) during the first five months of 2026, following an annual decline of 0.6% in 2025. According to Eurostat, the bankruptcy index in the construction industry rose by 23.8% in 2025, while the business registration index fell by 4.7% over the same period.

Over the remainder of the forecast period, the Italian construction industry is expected to recover at an average annual rate of 1.7% between 2027 and 2030, supported by government and private sector investments in renewable energy, and transport infrastructure, coupled with investment under the country’s National Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to install 5GW of electrolysis facilities in the country by 2030 and make Italy a European hydrogen hub by 2050. According to the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) released in July 2023, Italy’s government is aiming to achieve an ambitious goal of having around 131GW of total renewable capacity by 2030, compared to 58GW in 2021, with approximately 79GW coming from solar and 28GW from wind energy sources.
