Nonresidential Building Construction Global Market Report 2024

The nonresidential building construction market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $2876.12 billion in 2023 to $2964.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be credited to robust economic growth in emerging markets, a favorable low-interest rate environment, and the rapid growth of the elderly population.

The nonresidential building construction market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3377.41 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the swiftly expanding urban population, a rise in overall population growth, increased disposable income, elevated infrastructure development expenditure by governments, and the return to office work post-COVID-19. Notable trends expected in this period involve the implementation of green construction projects, the utilization of autonomous construction vehicles, an upsurge in modular construction practices, the adoption of advanced building materials to enhance construction, the integration of construction robotics, and an increase in the use of 3D construction printing.

The forecast period anticipates a surge in demand for new residential and commercial buildings, propelled by the rapidly growing urban population. According to the UN World Urbanization Prospects report, it is projected that over 60% of the global population will reside in cities by 2050, with significant opportunities emerging in Asian countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines, particularly in export-oriented manufacturing. The World Bank predicts a substantial growth of 250 million in the urban population of South Asia by 2030. This swift urbanization is poised to drive the demand for new infrastructure, thereby fueling the non-residential building construction market in the forecasted period.

The ongoing increase in economic growth is expected to be a driving force for the non-residential building construction market in the coming years. Economic growth, signifying the sustained rise in a country's production of goods and services, plays a pivotal role in stimulating the non-residential building construction sector. This growth leads to job creation, income generation, and heightened demand for materials and services, contributing to overall economic activity. For instance, as of June 2023, the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reported that the UK's gross domestic product growth is forecasted to be modest at 0.3% in 2023, with a moderate improvement to 1.0% in 2024. Consequently, the upward trajectory in economic growth is a key factor driving the expansion of the non-residential building construction market.

Building construction firms are increasingly adopting green construction techniques to construct energy-efficient buildings and cut down on construction costs. Green construction involves utilizing sustainable building materials and construction methods to create buildings with minimal environmental impact. According to the World Green Building Trends Survey, approximately 60% of construction firms globally are engaged in green construction projects. Certifications such as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) enable construction companies to create high-performance, sustainable residential and commercial buildings, offering benefits ranging from tax deductions to marketing opportunities. In the UK, sustainable construction materials such as natural paints and recycled steel beams are widely employed. Additional green construction methods include cross-ventilation for a more natural environment, the use of green construction software such as Construction Suite for ensuring green compliance, and the adoption of the Green Globes management tool within the construction industry.
