The Swedish construction industry is forecasting a brighter future after several difficult years, according to reports from Byggföretagen, a construction industry organization. In a new prognosis, Byggföretagen reportedly expects investments in construction projects to increase by four percent per year during 2026 and 2027. Following this, employment is assessed to rise by nearly 10,000 jobs between 2025 and 2027.
The upturn is reportedly driven primarily by investments in infrastructure, rising investments in premises, and increased housing construction. Catharina Elmsäter-Svärd, CEO of Byggföretagen, stated in a press release that the organization sees a recovery in all sectors of the construction industry, which is good news for Sweden's overall growth.
