Global Construction Risk - Q1 2026 Update

The Construction Risk Index (CRI) provides a standardized view of the underlying degree of country-level risk facing the construction industries in 91 major developed and emerging markets around the world.

In 2026, the global construction market is in a state of resilient stagnation, with the analyst’s Construction Risk Index (CRI) elevated to a global average score of 50.5 - a 0.8 CRI point increase quarter-on-quarter (QoQ), felt most severely in the Middle East. The dominant signal is that geopolitical volatility has become structurally embedded in cost, supply, and capital decisions, opposed to transitionary or scenario based.
