0605ipadframe

The outlook for the construction industry was relatively benign leading into 2020, with residential construction activity in particular still declining from its peak in 2018.

  • Multiplier effects across types of construction are broadly similar
  • Import penetration varies by industry, limiting the upside for manufacturers from a pickup in construction activity
