Market Report I 2024-02-17 I 150 Pages I Mordor Intelligence
The UK Construction Market size is estimated at USD 398.68 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 466.57 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 3.19% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
The increasing building activities in the country drive the market. Furthermore, the market is driven by the growing commercial activities in the country.
Key Highlights
-Due to the strict execution of the measures to restrict the disease's spread, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the UK construction industry in 2020, with overall output decreasing by almost 46% year over year in April 2020. However, there has also been a significant recovery, with positive growth rates in the UK's construction output every month since March 2021. The gross value added by building activities in the UK returned to pre-pandemic levels in the third quarter of 2021 and continued to increase. For instance, compared to 2020, more new homes were registered to be built in 2021 in every region outside London, with growth rates in the North East, East Midlands, and Eastern regions reaching above 45%. Infrastructure construction had the biggest market share growth in the sector.
-Even though the general trends point to significant expansion, the UK construction industry has recently faced numerous difficulties. Inflation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine further disrupted the supply chain and drove up the price of building materials, in addition to the COVID-19 outbreak. For instance, rising energy and oil prices impacted steel production, which requires a lot of energy. Concrete reinforcing bars, also composed of steel, cost 45.8% more in March 2022 than in March 2021. The cost of transporting other construction supplies has increased due to the rising price of oil, driving up the overall cost of most construction materials.
-At the start of 2021, the value of new warehouse construction orders rose significantly, reaching a peak. In the second quarter of 2022, warehouse construction orders were worth 1.4 billion British pounds. The value of new construction orders for public buildings in the health sector in Great Britain amounted to 561 million British pounds in the second quarter of 2022. In the first half of 2022, roads and railways were the infrastructure types with the highest output value in Great Britain. On the other side of the spectrum, water and sewerage construction had the lowest output values, under 165 million British pounds in 2022, according data from the to Office for National Statistics (United Kingdata.
