Industrial background

About the construction industry

The construction industry is involved in a wide range of activities from building homes and commercial structures to infrastructure projects such as roads, bridges, and dams. 

This sector is driven by demands for residential and commercial spaces, urbanization, and government initiatives for infrastructure development. It is closely tied to the cement industry, as both are involved in the same vertical and are key indicators of economic growth.

The global construction industry is expected to reach a value of $10.5 trillion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2018 to 2023.

The construction industry is a significant driver of economic growth, accounting for about 21% of the global economy and employing over 6 million people worldwide.

Construction and demolition waste accounts for up to 40% of the world's total solid waste, with 30% of global waste being construction-related debris.

The global construction sector consumes about 40% of the world’s energy and contributes to approximately 25% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Green building construction is growing rapidly, with the global green building market expected to reach $250 billion by 2025, and sustainable practices are increasingly important to reduce waste and environmental impact.

Building information modeling (BIM) adoption is increasing, helping to reduce errors, optimize resources, and improve project results in the construction industry.
