Williamstown, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/02/2012 -- China holds a significant position among the emerging economies due to its fast-growing manufacturing industries, availability of cheap labor and rapidly growing construction industry. The country has attracted a considerable amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) which helped the construction industry to achieve a review-period CAGR of 23.24%. In 2011, the Chinese construction industry valued CNY11.8 trillion (US$1.8 trillion), having risen from CNY5.1 trillion (US$0.7 trillion) in 2007. This robust growth in the review period was driven by the government's eleventh five-year plan (2006-2011), which allocated CNY3.3 trillion (US$0.5 trillion) to infrastructure development. The hosting of the Olympic Games in 2008 was another revenue source for China's growing construction industry, enabling the overall industry to withstand the global financial crisis of 2009 and record consistent double-digit growth during the review period. With China's thriving economy, its construction industry is anticipated to achieve a CAGR of 13.68% over the forecast period.
