The Construction sector has expanded over the past five years; nonresidential construction activity has been particularly strong, and a surge in materials costs has driven up contractors' rates. Contractors in the sector construct buildings and engineer projects across a wide range of industries and applications, so construction sector revenue tends to correlate with broader macroeconomic conditions. Volatile interest rates, specifically, have impacted sector activity in recent years, with high rates having cooled residential construction activity since 2022. Sector revenue has risen at a CAGR of 4.1% to reach an expected $3.7 trillion in 2025, including an estimated increase of 1.5% in 2025 alone as recent interest rate cuts encourage investment. In recent years, contractors have benefited from easing supply chain issues, with the price of construction materials having slowly fallen from its May 2022 peak (though remaining well above pre-pandemic prices). This more predictable business environment has only had a limited positive effect on the average sector profit margin, however, as the construction sector's perennial labor shortage has kept wage costs high. In 2025, the second Trump administration's policies have disrupted this previously stabilizing business environment, with ever-shifting tariff policies making it harder to plan for the future. A mounting trade war has the potential to disrupt supply chains and drive up the cost of materials, while plans for mass deportations threaten to further limit the sector's labor pool. Still, potential interest rate cuts in the coming years stand to spur increased investment in construction activity. Contractors are set to continue to benefit from increasing commercial and infrastructure construction activity, aided by the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, the 2022 CHIPS and Science Act and the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. The Trump administration has looked to disrupt some of the funding included in these bills, particularly that which targets the previous administration's climate goals, however. Basic macroeconomic drivers, including population growth, will continue to expand the construction sector. Areas of the country with lower regulatory burdens, namely the Southeast, will continue to outpace the country as a whole in both construction activity and population growth. Overall, sector revenue is set to climb at a CAGR of 2.0% to reach $4.1 trillion in 2030.
In 2024, around **** million employees were working in the construction industry in Japan. The total number of people employed in the construction industry declined compared to the previous year.

The buildings construction segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The market encompasses various sectors, with buildings construction being a prominent and evolving segment. This segment includes residential, commercial, and multifamily buildings, each contributing significantly to the market's growth. For instance, Egypt's ambitious project to develop a new administrative capital, the New Administrative Capital (NAC), is a notable example. Located approximately 45 kilometers east of Cairo, NAC is designed to alleviate overcrowding and pollution in the current capital. A key player in this transformation is the China State Construction Engineering Corporation (CSCEC), a Chinese state-owned enterprise. Meanwhile, smart cities are emerging as a significant trend in the construction industry.
Economic development and retail activities are integral to the market, with developers focusing on creating vibrant and sustainable communities. Civil engineering plays a crucial role in the development of infrastructure, including roads, bridges, and water supply systems. Climate change is a pressing concern, and the construction industry is responding by incorporating green and energy-efficient practices into their projects. Sustainability regulations are becoming increasi
The construction sector employed over *** million people in the United States in April 2025, which was the highest number since the 21st century. There is a strong correlation between the amount of investment in construction and demand for workers. For example, in the years following the 2008 financial crisis, the value of new construction put in place in the U.S. decreased, which also translated in lower employee numbers in the construction sector. How to improve the job shortage? Many contractors have reported difficulty finding skilled workers recently. However, that has not only been the case in the construction industry, but in many other sectors of the economy too. For example, U.S. restaurants reported shortages in different positions in the past years. Although there are many reasons why workers may quit, in general, an increase in the salaries of construction employees may help in reducing the number of resignations. Worker shortages in Europe The United States is not the only country where companies have been facing these challenges. Thus, the percentage of French infrastructure companies reporting staff shortage peaked in 2019 and 2023. However, there are certain industries that struggle finding new employees more than construction. Social and care work had the highest skilled labor shortages in Germany.

This table contains the following results for the Construction Industry sector: number of companies, employed persons and employees, operating result, operating income and expenses, financial result, balance of provisions and extraordinary result and subdivisions thereof. The data in the table can be broken down into a number of branches. The numbers of companies are companies that were 'economically active' on 1 January of the year under review. These are companies where one or more people work 15 hours or more per week. This means that companies that worked less were not included in the study. All other results in the table relate to all companies that were economically active during the year under review. Data available for the years 2000 up to and including 2005. Frequency: discontinued Status of the figures: All figures in the table are final. Changes as of October 15, 2008: This table does not go beyond the results for the 2005 reporting year. The statistical research that forms the basis of the results in this table has undergone a large number of changes for the year 2006. For example, the questionnaire that companies are presented with in connection with the research has been radically changed. The population of companies described in the survey has also changed considerably as a result of a redesign of the General Company Register of Statistics Netherlands. These changes, among other things, mean that the results for 2006 are not comparable with those of previous years. That is why Statistics Netherlands has chosen to start with a new table with results from the 2006 reporting year, see section 3.
