Abstract

Domestic construction companies have difficulty in establishing strategies when entering overseas markets because they do not have an overseas construction economic sentiment index to refer to for data on overseas construction prospects. Considering that the fluctuation of overseas construction orders over the past decade has been substantial and large companies and SMEs are actively advancing overseas, this study developed an evaluation model for an overseas construction business sentiment index to grasp the economic experience of overseas construction companies. In 2021 Korean companies earned 30.6 billion in overseas construction contracts, 87% the level of the previous year, despite difficulties such as COVID-19 and low oil prices, thanks to efforts by construction companies to strengthen their strategies for entry, such as regional diversification, and government support for winning orders. Since the overseas construction industry fluctuates greatly due to changes in the international environment, it is necessary to investigate and analyze the economic sentiment index of overseas construction companies. In particular, despite the increase in overseas expansion of small and medium-sized construction companies and engineering companies, the provision of information on the overseas construction market sentiment index is insufficient, limiting the establishment of strategies for overseas construction expansion. Therefore, this study intends to develop an overseas construction market sentiment index model that can understand the economic sentiment of overseas construction companies, provide a forecast for overseas construction, and use it to establish overseas construction strategies and policies.

국내 건설기업은 해외건설 경기 체감지수를 통한 해외건설 전망자료가 없어 해외진출 전략 수립에 어려움이 있다. 또한, 최근 10년간 해외건설수주의 변동 폭은 매우 크고, 대기업과 중소기업이 적극적으로 해외진출을 하고 있기 때문에, 이에 본 연구에서는 해외건설기업의 경기체감을 파악할 수 있는 해외건설경기 체감지수 평가모델을 개발하였다. 해외건설은 2021년에 코로나-19, 저유가 등 여러 어려움 속에서도 지역 다변화 등 건설업체의 진출전략 강화 노력과 정부의 수주지원 등으로 전년대비 87% 수준인 306억 달러를 달성하였다. 이러한 해외건설의 경기는 국제 환경변화에 변동 폭이 매우 크기 때문에 해외건설기업의 경기 체감지수를 조사 및 분석하여 제공할 필요가 있다. 특히 중소규모의 건설업체와 엔지니어링업체의 해외진출이 증가함에도 불구하고, 해외건설경기 체감지수에 대한 정보제공이 미흡하여, 해외건설 진출전략을 수립하는데 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해외건설기업의 경기체감을 파악할 수 있는 해외건설경기 체감지수 모델을 개발하고, 해외건설 전망을 제공하여, 해외건설 전략 및 정책수립에 활용하고자 한다.
