    Report Coverage

    The Tanzanian Construction report focuses on current conditions, developments in the sector, the key drivers and the challenges that the industry faces. Profiles for 32 companies active in the sector are provided. Included are Chinese companies such as China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation, China Communications Construction Company, China Merchants Port Holdings Company, China Railway Group and China Wu Yi Company Ltd which are proving to be particularly competitive, especially in the civil construction market.

Alvic Builders (Tanzania) Ltd is another company with headquarters in Tanzania which undertakes projects throughout Africa.

    The Tanzanian Construction sector

    Tanzania’s construction sector is characterised by a large number of micro-entrepreneurs, the majority of whom operate in the country’s informal economy. The country’s formal construction sector comprises indigenous and indigenised firms, as well as numerous major foreign civil engineering and construction companies. As an industry with linkages to all sectors of the economy, the construction sector performs a pivotal role in Tanzania, as well as across the East African trade bloc. According to the Tanzanian National Bureau of Statistics, the market value of the construction sector at current prices increased from approximately US$6.6bn in 2016 to more than US$7bn in 2017.

    Major Infrastructure Projects

    The growth of Tanzania’s construction sector continues to be underpinned by the roll-out of major public infrastructure development projects. Infrastructure investment is largely concentrated in power generation and in the transport sector, with a particular focus on the development of the country’s ports, roads and railway lines. Of growing importance is the demand for housing and other social infrastructure. Tanzania’s substantial housing backlog is estimated to exceed 3 million residential units and annual demand for housing is in the region of 200,000 units.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the Tanzanian Construction Sector identifies and discusses the opportunities and challenges in the local economy for the construction industry, as well as factors influencing the success of the industry. The report also profiles 27 companies active in the sector, including Advent Construction, one of Tanzania’s major local construction companies. Also profiled are smaller companies such as COWI Tanzania Ltd, which has 100 employees and specialises in infrastructure development, and construction consultancy GMP Consulting Engineers Ltd, which has ten permanent employees and is based in Tanzania.

    Contribution of the Sector

    This report focuses on the Tanzanian construction industry, which has continued its steady growth throughout 2015, with a second quarter contribution to GDP of 13.2%, compared to average annual GDP for 2015 of an estimated 7%. The growth in the construction sector has been supported by the overall growing economy, the rapid urbanisation rate, increased population growth, and gains in the transport, infrastructure development and communications sectors.

    Influencing Factors

    The sector has seen a period of sustained growth since 2002 as a result of government support, increased infrastructure development, and significant diplomatic and commercial partnerships with the Chinese government and Chinese companies. A significant factor going forward is the large natural gas reserves that were recently discovered and the growth in the country’s urban population. There are still significant challenges faced by the country, the most pressing being the inauguration of the incumbent President Dr John Magafuli, disputes surrounding the recent elections, the annulment of the election in Zanzibar, slow economic growth in China, the aftermath of the Burundian coup crisis, general international perceptions of East Africa, as well as general infrastructural, health, and developmental challenges. Problems also exist within the construction industry, caused mainly by corruption and a lack of quality from local contractors.

    Report Coverage

    The report on the Tanzanian Construction Sector identifies and discusses the opportunities and challenges in the local economy for the construction industry, as well as factors influencing the success of the industry. The report also profiles 26 companies active in the sector, including mega-Chinese construction firms the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) and the China Communications Construction Company Ltd (CCCC), Advent Construction, one of Tanzania’s major local construction companies, and Wapo Scaffolding, a small local company trying to establish itself in the market.

    Contribution of the Sector

    This report focuses on the Tanzanian construction industry, which has been bolstered by continuing growth in the communications, transport and infrastructure development sectors. The construction sector is one of the forces driving national GDP growth and the Tanzanian National Bureau of Statistics predicts that economic growth will increase to 7.4% in 2015 from 7.2% in 2014. The construction industry is expected to contribute 7.3%, which is equivalent to US$2.77bn.

    Influencing Factors

    The sector has seen a period of sustained growth since 2002 as a result of government support, increased infrastructure development, and significant diplomatic and commercial partnerships with the Chinese government and Chinese companies. A significant factor going forward is the large natural gas reserves that were recently discovered and the growth in the country’s urban population. However, problems do exist within the construction industry, caused mainly by corruption and a lack of quality from local contractors. There are also concerns regarding the unrest in Burundi and other neighbouring countries and although expected to be violence-free, national elections are to be held in October 2015.
