This Forecast Bulletin has been written towards the end of 2024, with potential to anticipate the final view of the market at year end.
The mid-year General Election brought in a new government, along with shake ups across multiple sectors as new agendas come into play and priorities and finances shift.
The Bulletin provides a review of construction output across all major sectors from 2020 to 2023; a current view on 2024 output (based on Q1-Q3 published data and the current orders pipeline); and forecasts for 2025-2028 (based on an analysis of sector trends, orders, spending commitments and government and industry priorities).
Whilst we are aware of political ambitions, our forecasts are primarily based on current performance, industry capacity and the broader economic picture for each sector (including global supply issues, future energy demand and implication of the focus on Net Zero)
