UK Construction Sector Trends & Opportunities Analysed in New Timetric Report Published at MarketPublishers.com

24 Apr 2014 • by Natalie Aster

LONDON – The construction industry in the UK went through a difficult period during 2012. Consumer expenditure was relatively moderate, due to minimal real wage growth, escalating rates of unemployment, and concerns over the UK’s economic outlook. However, in 2013, the situation showed signs of improvement. During 2014-2018, the national construction industry is forecast to post a CAGR of 4.2% and reach over USD 241 billion by the end of the period, underpinned by the Government’s infrastructure investments and affordable housing initiatives. 

The commercial construction sector is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 3% to be valued at just over USD 76 billion by 2018-end. The demand in the residential construction market will be supported by improvements in the country's economic conditions, the fall in unemployment rates, and Government-led affordable housing incentives. In January 2014, the British Government announced its plan to build 165,000 affordable homes countrywide in the next five years, requiring an investment of over USD 36 billion. The plan is also targeted to attracting private investment to fund the project. The growth in the industrial construction output during the forecasted period is anticipated to be supported by the expansion of the automotive sector and manufacturing facilities.
