The Japanese construction industry recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 0.14% during the review period (2009-2013). The country's economy contracted following an earthquake, subsequent tsunami and nuclear disaster in 2011. In a bid to reconstruct and revitalize the economy during the review period, the government introduced economic reforms, such as an increase in subsidies and tax breaks for companies that invest in factories. The construction industry outlook is favorable, as a result of the government's focus on reconstruction activities. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (MEIT), indices of construction activity increased from 87.5 in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 99.4 in the fourth quarter of 2013, registering growth of 13.6%.

In 2013, total science and technology expenditure, including planned spending and a stimulus package, reached JPY4.6 trillion (US$57 billion).

This renewed business confidence and financial stimulus will support the growth of the commercial market over the forecast period. - After coming to power in 2012, the government announced an emergency stimulus package of JPY10 trillion (US$110 billion) in January 2013, with a primary focus on public work infrastructure. Public work subsidies increased to JPY5.3 trillion (US$0.1 trillion) in 2013.
