DOMESTIC CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY IN 2020 - OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

 

Despite not much negative impacts from the epidemic, the year 2020 is expected to contain many challenges for construction businesses when demand declines and competitive pressure intensifies due to the Covid-19 epidemic.

 

Market recovery expectation and difficulties in the near future

The expectation of market recovery (Vietnam Report)

In 2020, the survey results of Vietnam Report show that most constructing businesses consider this year will be more difficult (73.9%), only 13.0% of businesses are optimistic to expect the faster growth of construction and building materials industry, whilst 4.3% think that the building materials market will continue to maintain stable growth like 2019.

Notably, about 8.7% of respondents think the market will be "quiet" in the first 6 months of the year and will return to be active in the second half of the year after the COVID-19 translation ends, and The Government's stimulus package has started to take effect.

On the other hand, according to forecasts for BMI (Business Monitor International), the construction industry will maintain an average growth rate of about 7.6% in the period of 2018-2025. PwC research shows that Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are the countries that can gain the most attention from international property developers in the ASEAN region. This proves that the industry outlook is still very positive in the long term.
