Denmark's construction industry faced a 1.1% shrinkage in 2025 due to inflation and material costs. Labor shortages also caused delays in healthcare projects. However, the sector is projected to grow at an average of 3.8% annually from 2026 to 2029, driven by infrastructure, industrial parks, and renewable energy investments.
Dublin, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Denmark Construction Market Size, Trends, and Forecasts by Sector - Commercial, Industrial, Infrastructure, Energy and Utilities, Institutional and Residential Market Analysis to 2029 (H2 2025)" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The construction industry in Denmark was estimated to have shrunk in real terms by 1.1% in 2025, owing to high inflation, elevated costs of construction materials, and supply chain disruptions.
According to Statistics Denmark, the construction cost index for road projects grew by 1% year-on-year (YoY) in the first half of 2025. Segment-wise, cost of construction of concrete structures, earth works and iron structures grew by 3%, 1.5% and 0.8%, respectively, in YoY terms, during the same period. The country is also currently facing delays in the execution of several health care projects, owing to shortage of labor.
The industry is expected to rebound at an average annual growth rate of 3.8% from 2026 to 2029, supported by investments in the development of industrial parks, transport infrastructure, and renewable energy projects. Growth in the transport infrastructure sector will be supported by the government's plan to invest DKK157.6 billion ($22.8 billion) by 2035, on several transportation infrastructure projects.
In early-December 2025, the UK-based real estate developer Verdion announced its plan to build a logistics terminal, called iPort Zealand with an investment of DKK104.2 billion ($1.1 billion) in the municipality of Ringsted. Additionally, the Danish hydrogen production company Everfuel's target to establish more than 2GW of electrolysis capacity in the country by 2035, will support the industry's growth over the forecast period.
