Summary

“City Profile - Dublin” provides historical and forecast data on key city level metrics along with analytical coverage of the latest political, economic, social, technological, infrastructural, legal and environmental issues affecting Dublin.
The report contains detailed tourism, retail, construction, technology and public infrastructure data and insight into economic, social, and industry trends.

Dublin is Ireland’s most populous city and capital and remains the country’s dominant economic hub, supported by a service-led economy and recent momentum from multinational pharmaceutical exports, a recovering tech sector, and robust domestic spending, though growth also reflects accounting distortions that can overstate local wealth while exacerbating housing and infrastructure pressures. The Dublin metropolitan area’s economy accounted for 47.7% of Ireland’s GDP in 2025, when nominal GDP rose to EUR304.6 billion, with GDP per capita reaching EUR123,152; over 2026-35, growth is expected to moderate to an average 1.4% annually as capacity constraints-including housing, energy, and childcare-tighten, alongside policy efforts to decentralize activity, while the city advances its LECP 2024-29 priorities on innovation-led, inclusive, and sustainable development

Scope

- The construction sector strengthened in 2025, contributing 2.2% of Dublin’s total GVA (EUR6.2 billion) and growing 12.8%, supported by sustained public capital investment and major multi‑year infrastructure programs, though delivery is increasingly constrained by skills, viability, and network capacity (water, energy, transport).
- Planning activity increased overall in 2025, but the housing pipeline shows mixed signals-total permissions rose while new dwelling permits dipped slightly, with apartment units sanctioned rising strongly, indicating continued demand but friction in converting approvals into completed homes.
- Dublin’s near-term project pipeline is significant (including MetroLink and major civic and sports developments) and the construction sector is forecast to expand at an average 3.6% annually over 2026-35, with delivery organizations shifting toward more programmatic, standardized, and digitally enabled execution.
- Dublin remains a major tourism destination and is enhancing competitiveness through accessibility and sustainability initiatives (universal accessibility by 2028 and city carbon neutrality ambitions), reinforced by strong international recognition such as Tripadvisor’s 2026 solo travel award.
