Hungary Construction Industry Report 2025: Output to Decline by 2% this Year Before Bouncing Back and Recording an AAGR of 4.7% During 2026 and 2029 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The "Hungary Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (H1 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The Hungarian construction industry is expected to decline in real terms by 2% in 2025, owing to several headwinds caused by falling building permits and investment in the construction industry, coupled with political instability and a high budget deficit in the country.

According to the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), the number of construction permits issued in the country declined by 4.7% YoY in 2024, preceded by an annual decline of 38.6% in 2023. In October 2024, the government reported that it is targeting a budget deficit of 3.7% of the GDP in 2025, compared to the 4.5% estimated in 2024, which is still high compared to the European Union's (EU) target of 3%.

After the suspension of 270 projects in 2022 due to the energy crisis, in December 2024, the Hungarian government announced its plan to resume those transport infrastructure and utility investments in 2025 with an investment of HUF464.9 billion ($1.3 billion). This initiative is part of the allocation of HUF8.2 trillion ($22.8 billion) earmarked for new development projects in the 2025 budget.

The analyst expects the construction industry in Hungary to record an annual average growth rate of 4.7% between 2026 and 2029, driven by investments in the country's transport, housing, and renewable energy infrastructure. In a recent boost to the transport infrastructure sector's output, the Hungarian Minister for Construction and Transport Janos Lazar unveiled a plan in February 2025, to invest a HUF200 billion ($559.3 million) to construct a four-lane motorway stretching 40km to connect Szombathely with Kormend and Koszeg and upgrade rail infrastructure in the country by 2035. The HUF4.9 trillion ($13.8 billion), Paks II NPP project is the second stage of the existing Paks nuclear power plant, and consists of four power units with an aggregate capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW) which will help increase the share of nuclear in Hungary's energy mix by 2030
