Williamstown, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/04/2012 -- The South Korean construction industry has been an integral part of the country's growth due to the expansion of both the infrastructure and residential construction markets. Moreover, South Korean construction companies have been winning foreign construction projects, expanding the profile of domestic companies and earning export revenues. During the review period (2007-2011), the global financial crisis played a key role in driving down the growth of the South Korean construction industry.

Key Highlights

- Residential and infrastructure construction will bring key growth opportunities within the South Korean construction industry.
- The South Korean construction industry is facing intense cost pressure due to higher material costs. As a result of which, cement producers are experiencing resistance from builders and construction contractors due to hikes in cement prices.
- The existence of large and established construction companies in the country leads to high competition in the industry.
