Ontario's construction costs 2023, by building type Published by Fernando de Querol Cumbrera, Dec 10, 2024 Ambulatory healthcare was the type of building with the highest construction costs in Ontario (Canada) in 2023. The cost of that type of building ranged from 7,110 to 8,750 Canadian dollars per square meter. Townhouses with mid-end specifications were, along with warehouses, among the cheapest buildings to construct, even though the townhouse sale price in Canada was much higher in 2023 than in a decade earlier. On the other side of the residential spectrum, the construction cost of high-rise buildings with mid-end specifications could reach up to 5,370 Canadian dollars per square meter. The housing sector in Ontario The fast population growth in Toronto, the main city in Ontario, has put pressure on its housing market. From 2001 to 2022, the number of people living in Canada’s largest city increased by over 37 percent. During the past years, house prices in Ontario rose at a similarly fast pace. Combined, these elements signal a strong demand for homes in Toronto and Ontario as a whole. The construction sector has responded to this trend: In 2022, most housing starts in Canada took place in the province of Ontario. That same year, EllisDon Corporation, with headquarters in Mississauga (Ontario), was the second-largest contractor in Canada. One of its largest residential/mixed-use projects under development is the 489-539 King St. West Development, in Toronto. Construction cost in North America Building construction costs in Quebec, the second most populous province in Canada after Ontario, had a similar cost range: Ambulatory healthcare buildings were the most expensive, and warehouses were the cheapest to build. However, enclosed malls and higher education buildings were significantly more expensive in Quebec than in Ontario. Across the border, the cities with the highest residential construction costs in the U.S. were San Francisco for multi-family housing, and New York City for single-family housing. Meanwhile, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York had the highest hotel construction costs in the U.S.

Canada's Synthetic Fibre Manufacturing industry has been navigating turbulent times, shaped by fluctuating demand and global economic changes. The sector, deeply connected to broader manufacturing and textile trends, often reflects the shifts seen in related industries. Despite a steady global appetite for synthetic fibres like polyester and nylon, Canadian manufacturers face hurdles like rising production costs and environmental pressures. The competition from international markets, particularly those able to produce at lower costs, poses a significant challenge. Industry revenue has dropped at a CAGR of 4.9% over the past five years to reach an estimated $265.9 million in 2025, when income is projected to drop by 0.1%.

The industry has experienced a mix of opportunities and challenges. On one hand, there's a rising demand for high-performance synthetic fibres across various applications, including sportswear, automotive components and home furnishings. This gain is driven by technological advances that have made synthetic fabrics stronger, lighter and more durable. However, competition remains fierce, especially from countries like China, where lower labour costs and relaxed environmental regulations lead to cheaper production. This makes it challenging for Canadian manufacturers to compete on price, underscoring an urgent need for innovation to maintain competitiveness and profit.

Ongoing tariff uncertainties could create volatility, particularly affecting small and medium-sized enterprises that may struggle to adjust supply chains quickly. Persistent or escalating tariffs could lead to further contractions and potentially push some companies out of the market. However, if trade relations improve and tariffs are reduced, there might be chances for recovery. In the interim, boosting supply chain resilience, efficient cost management and exploring new markets will be crucial for companies seeking to mitigate the impacts of tariffs. Embracing sustainability and innovation in fibre production will also be essential to seize emerging opportunities and maintain a competitive edge in the global market. Over the next five years, revenue will hike at a CAGR of 0.9% to reach an estimated $277.6 million in 2030.

The Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), and other major real estate boards across Canada developed the most advanced and accurate tool to gauge a neighbourhood’s home price levels and trends: the MLS® Home Price Index (MLS® HPI). The MLS® HPI is calculated using a sophisticated statistical model that takes into account a home’s quantitative (e.g., the number of rooms it has) and qualitative (e.g., whether it has a finished basement) features. The MLS® HPI traditionally is less volatile than average and median measures, which can swing dramatically in response to changes in the number of very expensive or inexpensive home sales from one time period to the next. The MLS® HPI is based on the value home buyers assign to various housing attributes, which tend to evolve gradually over time. It therefore provides an “apples to apples” comparison of home prices across the entire country.

Canada Manufactured Homes Market size was valued at USD 2.08 Billion in the year 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 2.85 Billion in 2032, at a CAGR of 4% over the forecast period of 2026 to 2032.

Key Market Drivers: Housing Affordability Crisis: The ongoing housing affordability crisis is the primary driver of Canada's manufactured home market. According to the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), the national average home price reached $716,100 in January 2024, up 7.6% year on year. According to the Canadian Manufactured Housing Institute (CMHI), manufactured homes are significantly less expensive than traditional site-built homes, with prices ranging from 30 to 50% lower.

Urbanization and Population Growth: Urbanization and population increase in Canada are pushing the manufactured house market by growing demand for low-cost, high-quality housing options. Rising land costs and housing shortages make manufactured homes an affordable option, promoting market growth.

The Semiconductor and other electronic component manufacturing industry in Canada is experiencing a dynamic period influenced by regional trends and global shifts. Over the past several years, geopolitical forces, such as the tensions between the US and China, have significantly restructured trade lanes. The pressure to prioritize domestic manufacturing has aligned well with Canada's resources however, allowing local firms to maintain profitability despite cheaper labor markets abroad. Canadian semiconductor and electronic component production lags behind global competition, however, and the need for government investment is increasing. A lack of government support has limited industry revenue growth, which has fallen at a CAGR of 0.6% from 2019 to 2024, when it reached $5.4 billion. Despite declines in revenue, Canada's affordable utility costs, particularly in provinces like Quebec and Ontario, sustain a viable manufacturing environment and help elevate profit. Also, immigration assistance and talent support for skilled engineers show a proactive stance toward retaining critical human resources necessary for ongoing innovation and growth. Though government initiatives do not resemble the level of investment included in the CHIPS act, funding for microchip development has boosted the sector, leading to industry revenue increasing 6.3% during 2024. These investments are essential in keeping pace with technological advancements and addressing rising competition, especially from the US and Asian nations. Moving forward, the industry must adeptly navigate international trade conflicts while leveraging AI technology to take advantage of favorable demand conditions. This measured approach will enable Canadian firms to enhance their global competitiveness and secure steady growth in the evolving semiconductor landscape. From 2024 to 2029, industry revenue will increase at a CAGR of 2.7% when revenue will hit $6.1 billion.
