A CAGR of 5.0% is projected during 2024-2028, with the country's construction output expected to reach USD 1,545,856.3 million by 2028, indicating substantial growth potential.
The U.S. construction industry shows resilience and growth potential despite challenges like rising costs and labor shortages. With strong government support, particularly through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and advancements in technology, the industry is expected to continue its positive trajectory. While single-family residential and industrial sectors are poised for growth, the multifamily and institutional sectors may face hurdles, highlighting the sector's adaptability and importance to the U.S. economy.
The residential and commercial segments remain strong, and the outlook for the industry is positive, supported by technological advancements and a recovering economy.
The Residential Construction Outlook
• The U.S. residential construction sector has seen single-family housing recovering while the multifamily segment faces challenges.
• Single-family homebuilding has seen modest increases compared to the same period in 2022, supported by factors such as:
• Mortgage rates have stabilized after sharp increases, and builders are offering incentives to lower interest rates, making new housing more affordable. As a result, modest gains in single-family spending are expected throughout 2024 compared to 2023.
Multifamily Construction - The multifamily construction segment has faced headwinds, with spending stagnating since August 2023. Key challenges include:
• Higher interest rates and tighter lending standards pushing up costs
• Rents flattening or falling in many markets
The Commercial Construction Outlook
• Increasing Demand for Office Space - Due to expanding corporate activity, the demand for office spaces in major U.S. cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago has increased. As of September 2024, the total flexible office space in these cities reached 43.5 million square feet, with a national flexi space penetration of 6.3% in Grade A office stock.
• Government Initiatives and Foreign Investments - The U.S. government's focus on infrastructure development, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, has increased demand for commercial real estate assets. A stable political environment has boosted investor confidence, leading to substantial investments by foreign and domestic investors in commercial real estate.
• Adoption of Modern Technologies - In recent years, the commercial construction sector has advanced with modern machinery, sustainable materials, and technologies like Building Information Modeling (BIM) and geospatial technologies, improving project efficiency, quality, and sustainability.
• Resilience and Growth Trajectory - The commercial construction sector has shown resilience and is poised for transformative growth, adapting to emerging trends such as the rise of co-working spaces and a focus on health, wellness, and sustainability in office design.
The Institutional Construction Outlook
• The USA's institutional construction sector has shown resilience and adaptability, driven by federal investments and a focus on infrastructure development. Projects funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) are expected to enhance public facilities.
• Despite rising costs and labor shortages, construction spending has increased, focusing on clean energy and manufacturing projects. The demand for modernized educational and healthcare facilities remains strong.
• In the future, institutional construction is expected to receive continued federal support for critical infrastructure projects, signifying the industry's crucial role in the USA's economic recovery and development.
The Industrial Construction Outlook
The U.S. industrial construction sector has shown resilience and adaptability over the past few months, driven by strong demand for manufacturing facilities and government initiatives aimed at boosting domestic production. This growth is supported by:
- Increased investment in electronics manufacturing, particularly semiconductor facilities
- Ongoing efforts to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. shores
- Favorable policies such as tax incentives and streamlined regulations
Government Support - The U.S. government's focus on infrastructure development and domestic manufacturing has provided significant support to the industrial construction sector. Key initiatives include:
- The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), which allocates substantial funding for transportation, energy, and water infrastructure projects
- Tax credits and incentives for companies investing in U.S. manufacturing facilities
Challenges and Outlook - Despite the overall positive trends, the industrial construction sector has faced some challenges, such as:
- Rising material costs and labor shortages, which have impacted project timelines and budgets
- Uncertainty surrounding global trade policies and their impact on domestic manufacturing
