Construction Market Strategies, Share and Size in France to 2020

Construction in France was weak during the review period (2011-2015), as a result of depressed economic conditions, which resulted in a deteriorating business environment and low investment in construction projects. Consequently, the industry's output value in real terms registered a review-period compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of  2.99%.

The industry's value is, however, expected to pick up over the forecast period (2016-2020). Improvements in investor and consumer confidence, and subsequent investments in rail and road infrastructure, and renewable energy projects will support industry growth. The accelerating pace of foreign investments will also aid the industry.

In real terms, the industry's output value is expected to record a forecast-period CAGR of 1.49%.

The government is planning to add 2,000km of track to its high-speed railway network by 2020 to enhance regional connectivity. This is expected to drive investment in rail infrastructure projects over the forecast period. The country's favorable tourism sector is creating the need to increase the volume of leisure and hospitality buildings such as hotels. Investments in educational, training and research sectors through the Future Investment Program (Programme d'Investissements d'Avenir - PIA) will also provide momentum over the forecast period.

The concept is called Wattway and consists of a photovoltaic road surface panel jointly developed by the National Institute of Solar Energy and Colas. Polycrystalline silicon strips capable of absorbing solar energy will be stuck to the surfaces of carriageways and supply electricity to over 8.0% of the country's population.
• To accelerate the inflow of foreign investment the government has introduced tax incentives for foreign start-up companies, removed corporate social solidarity taxes and adopted new labor laws. These initiatives will increase foreign investment and provide momentum to the construction industry.

• With the aim of stimulating growth in the housing sector, the government has granted banks that provide zero-interest mortgages a EUR2.0 billion (US$2.2 billion) tax break. According to the scheme, first-time buyers - under a specified income limit - will receive up to 40.0% of the new property cost in finance; an increase from 18.0-26.0% in 2015.
