Global Construction Market Growth Momentum Facing Severe Headwinds | GlobalData Plc

Geopolitical risks and soaring prices are the major factors for the uncertainty in the construction market


LONDON, June 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The construction market is facing severe headwinds globally after making good progress in recovering from the severe downturn recorded in 2020 amid the widespread disruption caused by restrictions imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. There is a high degree of uncertainty over the short-term outlook in the industry following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The war will exacerbate existing supply chain disruptions and put even greater upward pressure on energy prices, which will further drive up prices for key construction materials.

Investment in the residential sector continues to be buoyed by government support measures and housebuilding programs. Moreover, investment in the infrastructure and energy, and utilities sectors have been a major driver of the recovery in overall construction output. Industrial construction has also been recovering from the COVID-19-induced downturn in 2020.
