Summary

GlobalData’s Construction in the US and Key States - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2028 (Q3 2024) report provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the US' construction industry, including -
  • The US construction industry's growth prospects by market, project type and construction activity
  • Critical insight into the impact of industry trends and issues, as well as an analysis of key risks and opportunities in the US' construction industry
  • Analysis of the mega-project pipeline, focusing on development stages and participants, in addition to listings of major projects in the pipeline.
GlobalData expects the US construction industry to grow by 3.7% in real terms in 2024. Growth will be supported by both public and private investments in manufacturing, renewable energy, and transportation projects, as the government looks to invest heavily through public schemes like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the CHIPS and Science Act, whilst also encouraging private investment through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). According to the White House, in total private companies had pledged $642 billion, between 2021 and 2024, in the Manufacturing the Future program, with an additional $285 billion announced for transportation investments in roads, bridges and transportation. Additionally, the government has also offered investment for electric school buses and other public transit, Electric Vehicle (EV) charging, and other initiatives, all as part of the Investing in America program. This initiative, which is aimed at boosting domestic industries, was further assisted in May 2024, when the Biden-Harris Administration announced tariffs on the import of semiconductors, solar cells, syringes, and needles would be increased from anywhere between 25% to 50%. Furthermore, the Environmental Protection Agency awarded $20 billion in federal grants in August 2024 to nonprofit organization alongside eight community development banks to expand clean energy projects. This included the installation of residential heat pumps, community cooling centers and EV charging stations.
