Key findings

North America and Europe to drive growth

The industry is projected to maintain growth over the period to 2029, benefiting from the easing of monetary policies and an improving housing market. However, Asia Pacific is forecast to face muted growth, largely due to ongoing real estate market problems in China. On the other hand, the outlook in North America and Western Europe is more positive, backed by recovering housing markets and investment in infrastructure.

Housing oversupply in China to constrain growth

China's construction industry is forecast to maintain growth over the period to 2029, although expansion, largely driven by infrastructure spending. Housing oversupply problem is forecast to prevail, however Investment in infrastructure and a stabilising real estate market in Tier 1 cities will support growth.

Growing trade uncertainty to put more pressure on costs

Growing economic and trade uncertainty is set to put more pressure on the construction and real estate sector. Although tariffs do not impact the construction industry directly, companies will feel price pressures coming from higher raw material prices, commodity price volatility and increases in logistics costs.

Investment in innovation to grow

Companies are forecast to invest in new construction methods, such as modular construction, IoT tools and virtual reality. Although new technologies will not solve all the problems, they are expected to help improve productivity and better shield against the rising cost pressures.
