The Philippine construction industry is poised for remarkable growth in 2024, fueling optimism for economic advancement and job creation. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) forecasts a 6-7% increase for the sector next year, driven by heightened demand for housing, infrastructure, and commercial buildings.

This growth will be fueled by a surge in investments reaching $38 billion USD in 2024. Large-scale government infrastructure projects, coupled with increased private sector activity, are expected to significantly boost the economy. This favorable environment will create opportunities for new business development and job generation.
