Sweden Construction Market is Expected to Reach USD 86.87 Billion by 2035

The increase in infrastructure projects and proactive government initiatives is driving the Sweden construction market growth during the forecast period.

The Sweden Construction Market size was valued at USD 63.42 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 65.87 billion by 2026. Looking ahead, the industry is projected to expand significantly, reaching USD 86.87 billion by 2035, registering a CAGR of 3.12% from 2026 to 2035, according to new research by Next Move Strategy Consulting.

The construction market in Sweden is demonstrating strong growth, supported by a rising volume of infrastructure projects initiated under government leadership. These developments center on upgrading the nation’s railway and transportation systems, which play a critical role in driving market expansion. In December 2024, the Swedish government approved a national infrastructure investment plan for 2026–2037 valued at USD 111.52 billion. The initiative, overseen by Trafikverket, targets the modernization of key transport corridors. 

Major rail projects include the 120-kilometer Dåva–Skellefteå section of the North Bothnia Line, scheduled to begin construction in 2025 to improve connectivity between Umeå and Luleå; capacity enhancements along the Ore Line (Luleå to Narvik) through marshalling yard expansion and longer passing loops; and upgrades to the Hässleholm–Helsingborg line to support higher speeds and greater traffic volume. These initiatives, backed by the Ministry of Infrastructure, aim to strengthen regional integration and promote sustainable mobility.

However, the regulatory complexity remains a significant obstacle to construction progress. Infrastructure projects must navigate a multi-tiered system of permits and approvals from local, regional, and national authorities. Requirements span zoning regulations, environmental impact assessments, building code compliance, safety protocols, and other legal standards. 

Delays from slow permitting processes, administrative fragmentation, and inconsistent regulatory enforcement increase project timelines and inflate budgets. Sudden changes in regulations or policies also pose risks to project continuity and investor engagement.

On the other hand, the market is undergoing a major digital evolution, driven by widespread adoption of Building Information Modeling. BIM enhances digital planning, structural simulation, and infrastructure coordination, improving precision, project collaboration, and resource management. 

Reflecting this trend, ALLPLAN introduced Allplan 2024-1 in April 2024 to strengthen BIM capabilities and streamline cloud-based operations. The use of AI, connected sensors, and cloud infrastructure is further advancing real-time communication, predictive maintenance strategies, and efficient management of facilities across Sweden’s construction sector.
