Accordingly, the total nuclear power installed capacity is expected to increase by 59.0%, going from 20.7GWe in 2012 to 32.9GWe by 2022. In accordance with this plan, 18 new nuclear power plants are proposed to be constructed by 2030, with an anticipated investment of KRW40?"50 trillion (US$32?"40 billion). With such an increase in the capacity of nuclear energy, substantial investments in the power sector are expected to drive growth of the energy infrastructure over the forecast period.

- Significant investments are being made in the country's infrastructure in order to improve its quality, effectiveness and coverage, as well as maintaining its transport network. In 2013, the South Korean government announced its plan to invest KRW124.0 trillion (US$108.6 billion) on various road, rail and other transportation infrastructure development projects across the country.


- The commercial construction market will be supported by a number of hotel and resort development projects. 20th Century Fox, one of the six major American film studios, is planning to construct a KRW3.8 trillion (US$3.5 billion) new 75-acre theme park in Changwon City, which is expected to be completed in 2018. Moreover, the French hotel group Accor SA is in the process of constructing a 300-room hotel in Seoul, which is expected to be completed in 2016.
