11. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
2 Executive Summary
The global construction industry grew at a CAGR of 5.62% over the review period. While the
industrial construction market was the fastest growing global market during the review period,
the residential and infrastructure construction markets led the industry in terms of size in 2009.
Indeed, the residential construction market demonstrated strong growth during 2005–08
because of the global economic boom in 2003–07. However, the subprime crisis that emerged in
late 2007 in the US led to a fall in both price and demand for residential properties in 2008. This
spread to other nations, leading to a global economic crisis towards the end of 2008; and has
adversely affected the construction industry. Most world governments introduced large stimulus
packages as countercyclical measures to revive economic growth. The stimulus packages
largely comprised of infrastructure projects, which helped governments to generate a greater
number of jobs quickly, and led to increased construction activity in the infrastructure and
institutional construction markets. The impact of global economic crisis was comparatively
lower in developing nations, the majority of which recorded growth in the commercial
construction market.
Office buildings construction was the largest category in the commercial construction market in 2009,
due to the growth of the global services sector and consequent expansion of multinational organizations
over the review period. Furthermore, as a result of rising income levels in developing nations, the
construction of retail buildings was the second largest category in the market. However, in several
developing nations, the supply of retail buildings was not sufficient to cater to demand, which attracted
large investments to the category. Moreover, increasing income levels across the globe led to an
increase in the global expenditure on tourism, which led to growth in the leisure and hospitality, and
outdoor leisure facilities categories. The global commercial construction market grew at a CAGR of
7.38% over the review period, and is expected to witness a CAGR of 6.42% over the forecast period.
The global residential construction market was the largest construction market in 2009, as the strong
growth recorded in the market until 2007 led to the assumption by investors that residential properties
were safe and attractive investments. Developing nations even witnessed a shortage in housing, due to
increasing populations and rising income levels. However, the residential construction market fell into
decline in 2007, as the demand for residential properties significantly decreased in developed nations
because of the economic crisis. Therefore, the residential construction market registered a CARC of -
4.83% over the review period, but is expected to record a CAGR of 7.95% over the forecast period.
The global industrial construction market was the fastest growing market over the review period. Rapid
urbanization, growing industrial sectors, the increasing population, and improving living standards
across the world drove the demand for electricity. As the global electricity generation capacity was
insufficient to cater to demand, global governments invested substantial sums into the construction of
electricity generation plants. Furthermore, the majority of nations have either partially or completely
privatized the electricity generation sector to attract private investment and improve the efficiency of the
sector. In addition, developing nations in Asia, Africa and Eastern Europe experienced significant growth
in the industrial sector because of the availability of low-cost skilled labor. As a result of these factors,
the industrial construction market witnessed a CAGR of 19.25% over the review period, and is expected
to witness a CAGR of 9.13% over the forecast period.

12. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The global infrastructure construction market was the second fastest growing market over the review
period. Several developed nations with greater resources to make improvements to national
infrastructure took part in large public private partnership (PPP) projects. Several sporting events, such
as the Olympic Games in China, the Commonwealth Games in India, and the European Championship
in Poland and the Ukraine, required the hosting nations to invest large amounts in infrastructure
development. Moreover, the importance of logistical support to the continuation of industrial growth in
developing nations required caused governments to introduce stimulus packages and increase
expenditure on the development and upgrade of transport infrastructure. Furthermore, with increasing
income levels, the majority of nations developed better communications infrastructure and improved the
national access to electricity, including to those in isolated areas, to raise living standards and support
economic growth. Finally, emerging global concerns about the scarcity of water also caused many
nations to increase expenditure on water infrastructure. The infrastructure construction market
witnessed a CAGR of 12.00% over the review period, and is expected to register a CAGR of 7.97% over
the forecast period.
The global institutional construction market was the smallest market over the review period. Educational
buildings and healthcare buildings were the two largest categories in the market, as the majority of
nations privatized the healthcare sector, which attracted large investments to the sector. Conversely,
global educational sectors largely remain in the control of the government, although several
governments now allow private investors to establish academic institutions. The institutional construction
market witnessed a CAGR of 8.19% over the review period, and is expected to witness a CAGR of
5.11% over the forecast period.

13. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
3 Construction Industry Analysis
3.1 Global Macroeconomic Scenario
During 2008–09, the global economy faced a financial crisis. The subprime crisis that emerged in the
US in late 2007 led to restrictions on credit and the loss of consumer and business confidence
worldwide. Most affected were developed nations, such as the US, the UK and Western European
nations, because of excess liquidity and a low interest rate and „easy credit‟ regime, which led to an
oversupply in several markets in developed nations. This led to the decline of several global markets,
the residential construction market in particular.
Since the mid 2000s, the economies of countries in the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) recorded
escalated growth as rising oil prices increased government revenues. However, as a result of
fluctuations in the price of oil, these nations sought to develop other industries and reduce dependence
on the oil sector. As a result, construction activity in major cities in the region, such as Dubai and Abu
Dhabi, increased at a fast rate. However, during the global economic crisis, several construction
companies either terminated or delayed construction projects due to lack of financing. However, the
wealth created by the increase in oil prices during 2003–08prevented several large bond issuers from
defaulting, which would otherwise have severely dented consumer confidence in the region.
Developing nations, particularly those in Asia and Eastern Europe, provided the main stimulus for
economic growth during the global economic crisis. These nations recorded strong population growth,
increasing the size of the global population under the age of 25. As a result of these large, young and,
often, skilled populations increased the productivity and economic output of developing nations, and
supported the global consumption of goods. Furthermore, the economic potential of these countries
attracted substantial public and private investment; and, as the cost of skilled labor was low compared to
that of developed nations, multinational organizations began to expand and invest into these nations.
Several developing nations received additional foreign direct investment (FDI) because of major sporting
events such as the Beijing Olympic Games 2009 and FIFA World Cup 2010. Hosting these events led to
growth in private investment and foreign tourism in these countries, and provided an opportunity to
present these countries to the rest of the world as attractive business destinations. Moreover, several
Eastern European countries due to join the EU recorded substantial economic growth because of the
availability of EU funds and increased FDI inflows from European multinational organizations. During the
forecast period, accession to the EU is likely to eliminate several trade barriers between these countries
and other EU nations, which will continue to make the Eastern European region an attractive business
destination for global manufacturing companies. Furthermore, rising inflation in emerging nations is
unlikely to be a significant factor during the forecast period, as although it has been a concern for central
banks, which are restricting liquidity to control inflation in 2010. the impact of this is expected to be low
on these economies.
The global economy declined by 2.2% in 2009, despite strong performances from emerging nations in
Asia and Eastern Europe. During the forecast period, the global economic recovery is likely to be led by
emerging nations, with developed nations following due to significant government stimulus packages,
and the development of new fiscal and monetary policies. The World Bank expects the global economy
to grow by 2.7% in 2010, followed by 3.3% in 2011. However, the outlook remains, uncertain as much of

14. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
the growth in the second half of 2009 and first half of 2010 was attributed to excess liquidity made
available by central banks, and tax benefits that boosted consumer spending. Furthermore, positive
earnings from the corporate world have been largely attributed to the low base effect and cost cutting,
rather than high sales.
The main concern for the governments of developed nations over the forecast period will be to reduce
the high levels of public debt accumulated from large stimulus packages awarded during the financial
crisis to try to reduce the negative effects of recession. Indeed, government revenues remained lower
because of lower income from both business and personal tax revenues, and the provision of
unemployment benefits to the large numbers of unemployed added to the debt. Moreover, analysts are
cautiously optimistic of the economic growth of developed nations, as macroeconomic data recorded
negative growth in July 2010 as the effects of stimulus packages and fiscal policies diminished. Several
Western European countries, such as Spain, Ireland and Greece, now face large sovereign debt issues,
which the respective governments are now attempting to tackle by making cuts to public spending.
While it is uncertain as to whether these measures will decrease consumer spending, increase
unemployment levels and reduce economic growth, the measures are required to avoid a sovereign
debt default, which would have a much larger impact on the global economy.
The global economy largely depends on the consumption levels of the US. Macroeconomic data has
projected an optimistic view of the economy from early 2010, because of the developments to US fiscal
policies and the stimulus spending of the US government. However, as unemployment rates in the US
remain high at 10% despite several measures by the government to increase employment, some
aspects of the global recovery remain uncertain.

15. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
3.2 Construction Industry Overview
The global construction industry, which employs more people than any other single industry in the world,
recorded strong growth over the review period. The most notable activity to take place over the review
period occurred within the global residential construction market. A combination of low interest rates and
access to credit led to a boom in the global residential construction market, particularly in developed
markets such as the US, until 2007. The increasing demand for housing then led to an increase in
speculative activity, which accelerated inflation in the price of housing. However, house prices peaked in
2007 and interest rates began to rise, leading to a lower demand for residential properties. Following
this, the subprime crisis caused house prices to fall drastically, and the demand for housing further
declined. As a result of low demand, several residential construction projects in developed nations were
either delayed or cancelled. However, the subprime crisis has a lesser effect on developing nations,
which continued to face housing shortages because of population growth and increasing income levels.
The global residential construction market is expected to recover in accordance with the global economy
over the forecast period.
In addition, the commercial construction market recorded significant activity over the review period, due
to the wealth created for both developed and developing nations by the economic boom during 2003–
07. Rising income levels increased the demand for retail buildings, which, in several developing nations,
could not be satisfied at the rate necessary. Therefore, private developers began to invest substantial
amounts of capital into the construction of large commercial centers. Increasing personal incomes also
led to higher discretionary spending in the global tourism sector. Countries with exotic tourist locations, a
rich cultural background or inexpensive medical facilities took advantage of this by developing the
infrastructure required to attract tourists. In particular, Thailand, India and Eastern European countries
became attractive destinations for medical tourism, as they were relatively less expensive and easily
accessible for foreign travellers. The economic boom also caused the services sectors in several
developing countries, such as India and the Philippines, to expand at a rapid rate, which also attracted
investment from private developed for the construction of office buildings. In particular, the demand for
office space in the GCC countries escalated during the review period, as the government encouraged
the development of non-oil related industries in order to diversify its economy. However, from 2008,
office space was in oversupply in some of the GCC countries, as the global economic crisis led to the
closure or consolidation of many large companies.
The global infrastructure construction market attracted significant public spending over the review
period, as the lack of quality infrastructure proved detrimental to the economic growth of developing
markets. To sustain industrial growth, developing nations invested in the construction of efficient
transport infrastructure, which supported freight and logistical operations, while increasing traffic
congestion in urban cities worldwide led governments to invest in mass transit projects, such as metro
railways. In particular, the GCC nations, which lacked efficient rail infrastructure, invested large sums in
the development of a rail network that not only connected national locations, but also across the region.
Sporting events such as the Beijing Olympics in 2008 and FIFA World Cup in 2010 also encouraged the
growth of the infrastructure construction market in hosting nations.
The industrial construction market recorded strong growth over the review period especially in
developing countries with low-cost skilled workers, such as China and India. To take advantage of this
fact, developing nations invested in the construction of industrial zones to attract foreign companies and
international recognition as industrial centers, Furthermore, competition between these nations

16. CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
increased, and many implemented pro-business policies and tax incentives to attract foreign investment.
Moreover, while oil-rich nations, such as the GCC countries, registered strong growth in the refinery
buildings construction category, increases in the global consumption of electricity resulted in significant
investment in the construction of the electricity generation plants. The electricity generation plants
category also experienced rapid growth because of an increasing global awareness of the benefits of
renewable energy sources and nuclear energy, and efforts to decrease global reliance on fossil fuels. As
the demand for electricity has not yet been met in many locations around the world, particularly in rural
areas, the electricity generation plants category is expected to continue to record rapid growth
throughout the forecast period.
Global government spending on education and healthcare increased over the review period because of
demographic and economic growth. While the aging populations of developed nations required
improved and easily accessible healthcare services, developing nations invested in healthcare services
in order to reduce mortality rates and increase life expectancy, especially in rural areas. In addition,
education provision became imperative in developed nations over the review period because of its
positive impact on long-term economic growth, especially in the services sector. Several international
organizations awarded funding to the healthcare and educational sectors of underdeveloped and
developing nations, which, in turn, supported the growth of the construction industry in these categories.
Furthermore, with continued government spending and international aid, the institutional construction
market is expected to grow at a stable rate over the forecast period.
The global construction industry grew at a CAGR of 5.62% over the review period, and is expected to
witness a CAGR of 7.75% over the forecast period due to the recovery of world economies from the
global economic crisis.
