Türkiye’s construction industry posted robust annual growth of 9.5% in April 2025, driven by strong demand for housing and urban development projects, according to data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) on Tuesday.
However, the sector experienced a slight monthly slowdown, with production declining 1.6% from March 2025.
The annual surge was led by an 11.6% increase in building construction compared to April 2024. Civil engineering works grew by 1.9%, while specialised construction activities rose by 7.5% year-on-year, reflecting sustained investment in infrastructure and niche projects.
On a monthly basis, the sector faced challenges, with building construction dropping 1.9%, civil engineering works falling 1.1%, and specialised activities declining 1.0%. Analysts attribute the monthly contraction to short-term factors such as fluctuating material costs and seasonal adjustments.
Despite the monthly slowdown, experts highlight the construction sector’s resilience and its critical role in bolstering Türkiye’s economic growth in 2025. Ongoing urban development and housing demand continue to fuel optimism for the industry’s outlook. (ILKHA)
