The Unevenness of Construction Market Development and Regional Infrastructure Development in Russia

Abstract

Aim. The presented study aims to address the issues of the unevenness of construction market development and regional infrastructure development in the Russian Federation. Tasks. The authors analyze the scale of the construction markets in Russian regions and compare it with the level of infrastructure development. Methods. This study uses statistical methods of information processing, including the index method, ranking, and expert assessment. Input data for the analysis include official statistical reports of the Federal State Statistics Service (major socio-economic indicators and indicators of construction activity development in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation), analytical reviews of InfraOne Research — Russian infrastructure: development index 2020, and data from the SPARK service. Results. The study examines the specific features of regional construction market development and divides regions into five groups based on the scale of construction markets. The authors assess the relationship between the volume of construction works and the scale of the contractor market with the values of the infrastructure development index and the volume of housing commissioning. It is concluded that there is a mutual influence between the scale of the construction market and the level of infrastructure development. The results of the study can be used in the development (updating) of strategies for the development of the construction complex and infrastructure, as well as in the implementation of government policy in this area. Conclusions. Based on the analysis of the volume of construction works, Russian regions are divided into five groups depending on the scale of the construction market. The scale is assessed based on the extent of the region’s contribution to the total volume of construction works performed in the Russian Federation. Assessment of the relationship between the volume of construction works and the scale of the contractor market with the values of the infrastructure development index indicates that regions with a large volume of construction works have a higher infrastructure development index. The volume of construction works and the number of construction companies do not always have an effect the infrastructure development index.
