Singapore Construction Market size to reach USD 33.1 billion by 2030, Growth Driven by Infrastructure Development, Residential Demand, and Smart City Initiatives

Singapore Construction Market Overview

The Singapore construction market size was USD 24.99 billion in 2025 and is forecast to reach USD 33.1 billion by 2030, expanding at a 5.8% CAGR. This expansion reflects an annual growth rate driven by a combination of public infrastructure projects, residential demand, and policy-led sustainability initiatives. Major projects such as Tuas Port and Changi Terminal 5, alongside the Housing Development Board's Build-To-Order (BTO) programme, continue to underpin construction activity across the country. Additionally, the lifting of the data-centre moratorium in mid-2024 is creating opportunities in high-specification industrial construction. The Singapore construction market balances near-term housing delivery with long-term infrastructure development, providing opportunities for conventional contractors and modern-method construction specialists alike.

Key Trends in the Singapore Construction Market

The Singapore construction market trends highlight several factors shaping the industry:

Infrastructure Megaprojects

Tuas Port reclamation and Changi Terminal 5 construction remain central to the nation's long-term infrastructure strategy. Tuas Port is expanding its capacity with future growth plans for significantly larger throughput. Changi Terminal 5 involves complex marine, tunneling, and aviation work. These projects create sustained demand for heavy civil contractors, specialist engineering services, robotics, and precast concrete elements.

Residential Construction Growth

The Housing Development Board continues to accelerate its housing programme, with plans to launch a large volume of new flats. Suburban projects in areas such as Tengah and Mount Pleasant incorporate centralised cooling and solar installations, ensuring sustainability while meeting rising demand for affordable housing. The adoption of painting and plastering robots at these sites has reduced labour hours and improved efficiency in residential construction.

Sustainable Construction Initiatives

Mandatory Green Mark 2021 rules now govern all new government buildings, linking eligibility to energy-use intensity and carbon limits. This policy encourages the use of low-carbon materials, prefabrication, recycled aggregates, and smart-building technologies. Developers increasingly follow these guidelines to qualify for green financing, reflecting broader adoption of sustainable construction practices across Singapore.

Data-Centre Expansion

With the lift of the data-centre moratorium, Singapore is opening additional high-specification industrial capacity, mainly for renewable-powered AI-ready facilities. This expansion addresses the tight vacancy situation and strengthens demand for advanced construction solutions in industrial zones and digital districts.
