Lewes, DE -- (SBWire) -- 10/12/2015 --Our outlook for the French infrastructure sector remains subdued in 2015 and 2016. A weak domestic economic environment and ongoing policy and regulatory uncertainty are undermining investor confidence and we expect to see limited gains in terms of fixed capital formation. Overall, we expect to see construction industry value contract in 2015 by 1.7%, before returning to minimal growth in 2016.

Key Trends and Developments
- Weaknesses in France's labour market - both in terms of unemployment and lack of competitiveness support our negative outlook on the country's construction industry.
- The outlook for the housing market remains bleak, as economic uncertainty and stubborn unemployment rates prevent a recovery in the demand for housing.

Italy's construction sector continues to struggle to attract private investment in light of the weak regulatory environment and limited prospects for economic growth. At the same time, public spending is constrained by government austerity measures, meaning there is little scope for investment in necessary infrastructure improvement projects. The housing market remains subdued, and with consumption not expected to increase substantially there is also little appetite for investment in utilities. The transport infrastructure sector remains the main source of future growth potential, supported by a large number of projects in the pipeline, particularly rail. Overall, however, Italy's construction sector is expected to see average annual growth of less than 1.3% throughout the forecast period to 2024.

Key Trends and Developments
- Italy's economic growth appears to be gathering slight momentum, and we are now forecasting real GDP growth of 0.7% in 2015. However, this will be insufficient to drive growth in the construction sector, which is expected to see its eighth consecutive year of decline (before returning to growth in 2016).

We maintain our forecasts for construction industry value real growth in the UK at 3.5% for 2015 and 2016. Residential building will drive this growth, although we expect interest rate hikes in 2016 to begin to slow growth over the longer-term. Several major infrastructure projects are yet to be fully factored into our forecasts, but already the UK has Europe's largest infrastructure project pipeline, which will continue to offer opportunity over out 10-year forecast period.

Key Trends and Developments
- The victory of the Conservative party at the May 2015 general election further supports our expectation for momentum in the residential sector to remain robust in 2015, although we note that there will be a slowdown given the impressive expansion seen in 2014.
