What Awaits the Construction Industry in 2019?
After a robust 2018, companies in the construction industry are anticipating an even stronger 2019. The global construction industry is anticipated to grow to $24334.9 billion in 2021. This can be attributed to the expanding economy in emerging countries, increasing population, and government investments in large-scale infrastructure projects such as railways and highways.
As the construction industry prepares itself to overcome the challenges brought on by the recession, it faces a host of challenges and opportunities. The trends remodelling the industry, most likely for the long term, are technological innovations, abundant and affordable domestic energy resources, and the integration of design with construction. Such trends open new doors for market participants and eventually influence the construction services’ business models. Organizations that approach these challenges head-on and re-imagine their business processes will be poised for significant growth. And businesses who fail to take the hurdles seriously will face an uphill battle for sustainability.
