Italy Construction Market Trends & Drivers:
The National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP or PNRR) seeks to transform the Italian construction market infrastructure and accelerate the green transition utilizing more than €194 billion in EU funding between 2021 and 2026. NRRP is financing various large-scale rail projects (high-speed rail link, Naples-Bari railway, Palermo-Catania railway), ports and renewable energy grid investments in companies like Terna. The PNRR has allowed for a speed-up in civil engineering projects with the stabilization of transport and energy services and the transformation of infrastructures into a pillar of growth despite the fluctuations in the markets.
Sustainability trends in Italian construction because Italy committed to reduce emissions based on the EU Green Deal. These involve an increasing focus on renovations, renewable energy use, sustainable materials and near-zero energy buildings (NZEB). NZEB are receiving incentives and regulatory support now. Companies invest in new technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM) and low-carbon supply chains, and infrastructure projects include grid resilience and renewable capacity expands. These target solutions seek to increase the share of renewable energy considerably by 2030 toward sustainability to promote sustainability.
The impact of renewables and grid modernization on Italy's construction sector will be considerable. Terna is investing billions of euros to upgrade the grid to allow more renewables and electrification through new transmission links, substations, and grids linking solar and wind clusters. In the short-term, the residential sector will decline, but this investment will then support the recovery in the residential sector from 2027, with positive effects for energy security, jobs creation in specialized construction and the implementation of Italy's net-zero target, thanks to sustainable infrastructure development.
