ITALY Ӏ CONSTRUCTION REPORT
with the government’s commitment to increase the share of renewable energy in the total power mix.
INSTITUTIONAL CONSTRUCTION The institutional construction sector is forecasted to grow in real terms by 1% in 2025, before registering an annual average growth of 1.6% during 2026- 29, supported by public and private sector investments in healthcare and educational facilities.
RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION The residential construction sector is expected to contract in real terms by 3.5% in 2025 and further by 7.5% in 2026, owing to decline in residential building permits issued and low construction business confidence. However, the residential sector is expected to record recover and register an annual average growth of 1.3%
between 2027 and 2029, supported by the government emphasis on providing affordable housing and investment in housing projects.
CONCLUSION Despite short-term headwinds Italy’s construction industry retains the potential for gradual recovery in the latter half of the decade. The near-term outlook remains subdued, weighed down by declining permits, weaker business confidence, and the external pressures of rising public debt and new US tariffs. However, the sector’s long-term fundamentals are supported by ambitious government initiatives in energy transition, infrastructure modernisation, and digital transformation. Significant investments – such as
Terna’s EUR17.7 billion Industrial Plan – signal a strategic pivot toward
sustainability, grid resilience, and renewable integration, aligning with Italy’s broader net-zero ambitions. While the residential and industrial markets face a challenging period through 2026, momentum is expected to build from 2027 onwards, driven by the energy, transport, and hospitality sectors. Ultimately, the Italian construction
market’s trajectory reflects both its current fragility and its resilience. As the nation navigates economic pressures and policy shifts, the industry’s commitment to modernisation and green investment positions it for steady, if modest, growth through 2029 and beyond.
