Global Construction Industry Procurement Strategies Survey 2013-2014

RnRMarketResearch.com adds “Global Construction Industry Survey 2013-2014: Market Trends, Buyer Spend and Procurement Strategies in the Global Construction Industry” new report on its database.

Overall, 53% of respondents in the global construction industry are more optimistic about revenue growth for their companies in 2013. This is due to the increased investments on IT infrastructure and other public and private sector construction projects as well as growing demand for sustainable construction.

Executives from the global construction industry expect to see increased levels of consolidation, with 50% of respondent s anticipating either a ‘significant increase’ or an ‘increase’ in their merger and acquisition activity in 2013. They also anticipate a considerable increase in capital expenditure on ‘new product developments’, ‘IT infrastructure developments’ and ‘machinery and equipment purchases’. This will result in an increase in their workforces.

These same respondents identified India, Brazil, the UAE, China and Saudi Arabia as promising emerging markets for 2013. Construction activity in India has increased steadily due to growth in infrastructure development in housing, roads, ports, aviation infrastructure and power generation making the country one of the leading emerging markets in the global infrastructure industry. Additionally the US, Canada, Singapore, Australia and the UK were identified as chief growth regions among developed countries. However, France, Italy and Spain are expected to offer low growth potential.
