Report Sample Abstract

Revenue growth expectations by region

Of all respondents, 58% of companies that operate in the Asia-Pacific region are ‘more optimistic’ about revenue growth over the next 12 months, compared to 45% in the rest of the world region, 45% in North America and 55% in Europe. The construction industry is dependent on the economic cycle, and a number of regions are struggling to recover from the economic downturn. Although only a small number of respondents are ‘less optimistic,’ most of them are based in Europe, and this reflects the subdued outlook in this region.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that growth rates for 2011 will be slow in developed economies. However emerging markets will experience growth, and plans for increased expenditure on infrastructure in countries such as China and India will translate into opportunities for construction companies. Most construction growth in 2011–2015 is likely to happen in these markets, along with Brazil and countries in the Asia-Pacific region and the Middle East.

Opportunities within the construction machineries industry have attracted the attention of a number of global manufacturers and exporters, and in recent years Indian producers of both heavy and light machines have performed well in the domestic and global market. Indian government reforms and the country’s trade pact with neighboring countries have also contributed to growth in the Indian construction machinery industry. The construction industry in India and China is also aided through the migration of people from rural to urban areas, and this is reflected in revenue figures. For example, Indian engineering and construction company Larsen & Toubro reported a 10.67% increase in profits in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, and has similar projections for 2011. Additionally, Emaar Properties PJSC, which is based in the Middle East, recorded a net operating profit of US$826 million in 2010, which was 31% higher than its net operating profit of US$633 million in 2009. Annual revenue for 2010 was US$3.308 billion, which was 44% higher than the company’s 2009 revenue of US$2.29 billion.
