Relevance of the research “Russia’s construction industry. Development prospects in 2017–2019”. Russia’s construction industry faces one of the most challenging periods in its history. By the 1990s, the country ramped up its construction rates: 72.8 M sq. m of housing was built in 1987, and the homebuilding volumes dropped more than twofold – to 30.3 M sq. m 13 years later. Then, after the recovery from 2009 economic recession, the demand for homes surged, while the development of mortgage lending boosted the multi-storey home sales: 84.2 M sq. m of housing was built in 2014 and 85.3 M sq. m in 2015, hitting Russia’s all-time high. After the record-high homebuilding volumes of 2015, the market began to slip into decline, which exceeded 6% in 2016 and persists in 2017. Similar trends are observed in non-residential construction, where the only construction segment with the upward trend in investments and output of facilities is that in the farming industry. To understand the reasons of the recurrent slump in the construction industry and how deep it will be, we have conducted a comprehensive research of the industry across all its segments. This product will help you to compare the development pace and performance of your company with the industry’s indicators and market leaders, evaluate the big-league companies in the industry included in the rating and define your priorities of business development.

Purposes of the research:

· insights into the state of affairs in Russia’s construction industry as a whole and in individual segments by types of facilities (housing, industrial, infrastructure, commercial);

· ranking developers by building volumes, ranking of retail space developers in Russia;

· identification and description of key in-progress investment and construction projects in Russian industry segments;

· description of landmark events in Russia’s construction industry by market segments, companies, types of facilities, as well as development stage;

· analysis of changes to the government regulation of the Russian industry (adoption and entry into force of key regulatory documents);

· analysis of the development pace of the building materials industry in Russia (piece wall materials, non-metallic construction materials, cement, etc.) and investment projects in the segment of construction materials;

· scenario outlook for the development of Russia’s construction industry and the construction materials market in Russia.
