Singapore’s construction sector, the largest domestic segment, will be a “bright standout” in 2026 and over the coming years, says DBS Group Research.

DBS analysts, led by senior economist Chua Han Teng, expect building activity to be lifted by major multi-year transport infrastructure investments, such as Changi Airport Terminal 5, Tuas Port and the North-South Corridor.

Other contributors include hospitality project expansions, such as Marina Bay Sands Tower 4 and Resorts World Sentosa upgrades, along with a housing rollout islandwide, adds DBS.
