Myanmar Construction Market Segmentation by Sectors
Residential construction was the leading sector in the Myanmar construction market in 2022
The key sectors in the Myanmar construction market are commercial construction, industrial construction, infrastructure construction, energy and utilities construction, institutional construction, and residential construction. In 2022, the residential construction sector was followed by infrastructure construction.
Infrastructure construction: The project types in this sector include rail infrastructure, road infrastructure, and other infrastructure projects. The resumption of cross-border transportation infrastructure projects with neighboring countries during the forecast period will support the sector’s growth.
Residential construction: The project types in this sector include single-family housing and multi-family housing. The residential construction industry will recover over the forecast period owing to the investments by the government in public housing. For instance, in August 2023, during the opening ceremony of 448 apartments, the Union Minister for Construction announced that the government is planning to develop the Thukha Dagon Public Rental Housing project in Yangon. The project will consist of more than 3,100 apartments for retired and low-income people. Further supporting the residential sector’s growth, the Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association (MCEA), in cooperation with the Ministry of Construction, Myanmar (MoC) is undertaking the Affordable Housing Development Program. The program involves the construction of one million housing units across Myanmar by 2030.
Energy and utilities construction: The project types in this sector include electricity and power, oil and gas, telecommunications, sewage infrastructure, and water infrastructure. Low base effects and tax exceptions on investment in the sector will drive growth between 2024 and 2027.
Commercial construction: The project types in this sector include leisure and hospitality buildings, office buildings, outdoor leisure facilities, retail buildings, and other commercial construction. The government’s strategies and action plans to develop the tourism industry will drive the sector’s growth over the forecast period.
Industrial construction: The project types in this sector include chemical and pharmaceutical plants, manufacturing plants, metal and material production and processing plants, and waste processing plants. The government’s ‘’National Export Strategy (NES) 2020-2025’’ initiative will drive the sector’s growth during the forecast period.
Institutional construction: The project types in this sector include educational buildings, healthcare buildings, institutional buildings, research facilities, and religious buildings. Improvement in public and private sector investment will fuel the growth of this sector in the coming years.
