DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The “Construction in the United Kingdom: Key Trends & Opportunities to 2022” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
Construction in the United Kingdom: Key Trends & Opportunities to 2022 provides detailed market analysis, information and insights into the UK construction industry.
In real terms, the UK construction industry posted positive growth during the review period (2013-2017). Despite experiencing a slowdown in growth during 2016, owing to weak business confidence as a result of the Brexit referendum, the industry was supported by the government’s ongoing large-scale investments in transport, residential, energy and institutional construction projects.
Over the forecast period (2018-2022), the industry is expected to expand at a slow pace due to the ongoing uncertainty over the country’s future relationship with the European Union (EU) and its subsequent impact on investor confidence. Though the industry is expected to post slow growth during 2018, it is expected to gradually regain some momentum over the latter part of the forecast period, supported by the government’s effort to boost economic growth through the development of the country’s overall infrastructure.
The industry’s output value in real terms recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.73% during the review period, and is expected to post a forecast-period CAGR of 2.2%.
