Key findings
North America and Europe to drive growth

However, Asia Pacific is forecast to face muted growth, largely due to ongoing real estate market problems in China.

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.

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.
