The construction industry increasingly faces trends that may not be under its direct control but do have a marked effect on it. Some of those are long-term developments, such as a higher awareness of the climate, increasing urbanization, technological innovations, or new trends and types of construction – such as modular construction. On top of that, current challenges such as inflation and the high cost of construction materials, skilled staff and material shortages, and supply chain disruption have deeply shaped the industry in the past years. If the current climate of economic instability is also considered, there is no doubt that the construction sector will need to be resilient to stay ahead of these uncertain times.
Construction is the industry in charge of the creation and maintenance of buildings and infrastructures. That comprises all types of built-structures, from homes, industrial buildings, airports, and supermarkets to roads, bridges, sewers, and transmission lines. The industry also includes specialized construction activities such as the installation of utilities, painting, plastering, or doing other works to finish a project, and demolishing buildings or infrastructure.
Statista’s product range for the construction industry covers a wide range of topics: general market overviews, construction spending and costs, and insight into construction companies, among others. In addition to that, Statista also has data, reports, and topic pages on other industries that are related to construction, such as construction machinery and equipment, or the waste and emissions generated by construction activities.
