• Small and medium construction companies operate in the informal market and local and foreign companies operate in the formal market. \r\n
• The involvement of foreign companies is dominated by Chinese companies, which are undertaking large projects. \r\n
• The construction market is projected to grow at an annual average growth rate of more than 8% from 2023 to 2026. \r\n
• The country’s 10-year development plan touches all aspects of development, including infrastructure development and the objective of public-private partnerships.
Strengths
• 10-year development plan from 2020-2030 which priorities infrastructure development.

• High levels of corruption.
• Limited access to credit.
• Poor safety precautions on construction sites, safety regulations are commonly flouted and poor enforcement by authorities.
• Poor transport infrastructure leading to delays in delivering times and high costs.
• Research and development activity is low and little innovation.
• Shortage of skilled labour.
Opportunities
• High demand for modern retail and commercial facilities.
• Opportunities for cement and steel manufacturing to meet local demand.
• Public-private partnership policies giving opportunities for private investors to invest in public infrastructure development.

Threats
• Climate change and increasing risk of drought.
• Delays in Implementation of infrastructure projects.
• Potential security conflicts among regional states, and or government and regional states.
• Risk and potential for high debts on industry players.
Outlook
• Much of Ethiopia’s growth in 2023 is expected to come from infrastructure development, a tourism rebound and liberalisation of the telecoms sector.\r\n
• A focus of the 10-year growth plan is rapid urban development that will involve housing development and inclusion of the private sector in infrastructure development and service provision. \r\n
• The government is also focusing on public-private partnerships for infrastructure development which will offer opportunities, as the country plans to address the infrastructural deficit and public services delivery gaps. \r\n
• The outlook for Ethiopia’s construction industry looks positive in the short to medium term. \r\n
• However, key downside risks include the ongoing security conflict in Tigray and company debt vulnerabilities.
