Commercial Building Construction in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Building up: the rising value of private nonresidential construction will boost industry revenue growth

Revenue for the industry has fallen over recent years as the COVID-19 pandemic put the brakes on growth, with industry revenue falling consistently since 2020. Decline continues with a 0.4% drop in 2023 alone, which is largely a result of rising interest rates limiting customers' access to capital. Prior to the pandemic, the Construction sector trended upward, propelling industry revenue growth. Rising per capita disposable income facilitated consumers to spend more while falling unemployment, improving business sentiment and accommodative interest rates led many businesses to expand. The downturn in construction markets caused by the pandemic then negated previous revenue growth. Overall, industry revenue has fallen at a CAGR of 3.3% over the past five years to reach $230.7 billion in 2023.
