The Algerian construction industry increased at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.89% during the review period (2009-2013), in nominal terms. This growth was supported by private and public investment in infrastructure, residential, commercial and institutional construction projects in an effort to diversify the country's economy and reduce its dependence on oil.
Under the Five-Year Plan (2010–2014), the government is investing heavily in infrastructure construction in order to enhance transport across Algeria. Consequently, the industry is expected to continue to progress at a healthy pace over the forecast period (2014–2018), registering a CAGR of 8.15%.

Key Highlights
- Algeria, a middle-income economy, is heavily dependent on its hydrocarbons industry. Oil and natural gas are the major growth drivers, accounting for 30.0% of GDP, 60.0% of budget revenues and over 95.0% of the export earnings in 2013. The government has actively pursued a policy of diversification, and imposed restrictions on imports and the involvement of foreign enterprises, with the aim of reducing its dependence on oil. The five-year development plans are being implemented to encourage investments in non-oil and gas industrial activities in order to bolster the private sector, attract foreign investment, and provide adequate employment opportunities for younger Algerians.
- As part of the 2010–2014 five-year plan, a number of health projects were proposed, resulting in the establishment of 1,500 health facilities, which includes the construction of 1,000 health centers, 172 hospitals, 377 clinics, 45 specialized health complexes and 70 specialized institutions for disabled persons. The Algerian healthcare sector received significant investments during the review period, and is expected to continue receiving these over the next five years.
- To support the development of the energy sector and the construction of new power plants, the government introduced the feed-in tariff (FiT) scheme for the development of large-scale PV power plants. This new scheme aims to help the government in meeting its goal of 800.0MW of solar capacity by 2020, as well as that of installing 22,000.0MW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
- In April 2013, Sonatrach, the Algerian national oil company, announced to invest DZD6.3 trillion (US$80.0 billion) in hydrocarbon industry, to enhance downstream and upstream activities in the industry. As part of this investment, Algeria aims to construct four refineries over the forecast period, valuing DZD1.2 trillion (US$15.0 billion) overall.
- To improve the country's drinking water distribution system, wastewater treatment, and water pollution control, the Algerian government allocated DZD1.5 trillion (US$20.0 billion) under its five-year infrastructure program (2010–2014). The country's government plans to invest DZD746.3 billion (US$10.0 billion) on the construction of 32 dams and 25 water transfer systems, DZD74.6 billion (US$1.0 billion) on 40 wastewater treatment plants, DZD52.2 billion (US$700.0 million) on irrigation and drainage projects and DZD74.6 billion (US$1.0 billion) on improving water distribution systems for 37 cities. All these projects are expected to support the growth of the water infrastructure category, which is anticipated to register a forecast-period CAGR of 9.18%.
