Analysts’ Viewpoint on Market Scenario
Increase in commercial, and non- residential construction activities is projected to boost the global construction market. Furthermore, rise in environmental concerns, and adoption of green buildings are likely to boost the market.
Rapid urbanization, increase in mechanization, growth in population, and surge in building residences and commercial structures are expected to bolster the construction market size. Demand for practical and cutting-edge construction technologies is being driven by the development of modern economies and rapid industrialization.
Furthermore, government spending on infrastructure projects is creating construction business opportunities. Construction industries are introducing innovations such the use of drones for surveying and mapping, 3D printing for construction, and the development of smart infrastructure that can monitor and optimize performance, thus offering lucrative opportunities for market expansion.
Construction is the process of placing together diverse elements to create a structure, such as a building, framework, or model. Any construction project has an established structure of separate stages such as design, production, and the transformation of raw materials into manufactured goods, followed by construction.
Each of these phases has internal procedures and components that come together to finish a building project. It also involves several other stages, including planning, designing, obtaining permits and approvals, site preparation, excavation, foundation work, framing, installation of systems and utilities, interior and exterior finishing, and final inspection.
The types of construction can range from simple projects such as building a garden shed, to complex industrial construction projects such as constructing a bridge, airport, and dam. The constantly expanding commercial and residential construction sectors globally are fueling construction market development.
The construction industry involves architects, engineers, contractors, builders, electricians, and plumbers, who work together to bring a construction project to completion.
The need to construct more residences, companies, industries, and other amenities is leading to the expansion of the construction industry worldwide. The construction business is driven by the growth in urbanization and mechanization of economies in developed countries.
Population growth, surge in incomes, and changing lifestyles, are creating the need for new housing & commercial constructions, and other infrastructure. Demand for new construction projects in urban areas is rising as more people move to cities.
Moreover, the construction industry plays a vital role in shaping a country’s economic development by creating employment opportunities from engineers to powerline installers, and truck drivers to pilots, thus stimulating economic growth. Governments and private entities are investing in these projects to boost local economies and improve overall living standards.
Government policies and regulations can have a significant impact on the global construction market. Regulations related to zoning, building codes, environmental protection, and safety influences the type of projects that are undertaken and the cost of construction. Growth of the construction sector is being augmented by an increase in infrastructure spending by governments across the world. For instance, the U.K government planned to invest US$ 10 Bn in the National Home Building Fund in November 2020 to equalize communities and build more beautiful, ecological, and affordable homes throughout the country.
New technologies can lead to efficient and cost-effective construction processes. The market is benefitting from advances in technology and the use of advanced materials and methods to construct more efficient and durable infrastructure. The industry is also responding to the growing environmental concerns, such as climate change, and resource depletion. Construction companies are now focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly infrastructure development by adopting sustainable practices and technologies.
Overall, the growth of the construction industry is driven by a combination of factors, such as infrastructure development, population growth, technological advancements, environmental concerns, and economic development.
The construction market segmentation based on type comprises heavy & civil engineering, general construction, and others.
The heavy & civil engineering segment is expected to lead the global market during the forecast period. The global population is increasingly becoming urbanized, and as cities grow, the demand for infrastructure, including transportation systems, bridges, dams, and public buildings is rising. This has led to an increase in demand for heavy and civil engineering services.
Moreover, according to construction market analysis, governments around the world are investing substantially in infrastructure development, such as building roads, airports, seaports, railways, and other public work projects which require the expertise of heavy and civil engineering companies to plan, design, and construct these projects.
All these factors are contributing to the growth of the heavy & civil engineering construction segment in the construction industry.
According to the construction market forecast analysis, Asia Pacific is likely to dominate the global market during the forecast period. The region has been experiencing robust economic growth over the past few decades, leading to increased demand for infrastructure, housing, commercial & industrial facilities, and other construction projects.
Moreover, many governments in the Asia Pacific region are investing heavily in infrastructure development, such as new airports, highways, and high-speed rail networks. This investment is helping to drive growth of the construction industry in the region.
The global construction market is fragmented with the presence of many local and global players. Competition is expected to intensify in the next few years due to the entry of local players.
Observing the construction market trends and future of construction, key suppliers and manufacturers are focusing on product development, research, and introducing more efficient methods of construction.
