The construction sector in Lithuania is growing rapidly.  Economic growth, growing wages, and the wide availability of credit boosted construction sector growth as opportunities for real estate developers and investors expanded.  For almost a decade, real estate prices increased at an annual rate of approximately 10%. The construction industry experienced marginal declines of 0.7% in 2020 and 0.2% in 2021, largely due to COVID-19 pandemic disruptions.  However, in 2022 it expanded by 19% driven largely by government spending and continuation of residential projects started in 2021.

EU development funds provide additional impetus for the development and expansion of this sector.  EU funds will pay for the reconstruction of railways, the renovation of regional roads, seaports, and airports, and the construction of new nature preservation facilities.
