Construction in the UK - Key Trends and Opportunities to 2021

LONDON, Aug. 28, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Synopsis
In real terms, the UK's construction industry registered positive growth during the review period (2012-2016). Despite a slowdown in growth during 2016 due to the impact of the Brexit referendum, in which the UK voted to leave the European Union (EU), the industry registered a modest performance, supported by public sector investments in infrastructure and residential construction projects, coupled with improvements in industrial activity.

Over the forecast period (2017-2021), the industry is expected to be supported by government efforts to promote economic growth over the forecast period, implementing a huge pipeline of construction projects until 2021.

Despite these growth prospects, the unstable political scenario following the June 2017 general election is expected to hamper the effective implementation of the government's infrastructure plan.

The industry's output value in real terms recorded a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.02% during the review period and is expected to post a CAGR of 2.67% over the forecast period.

Key Highlights
-- In a bid to boost the post-Brexit economy, in January 2017 the government launched an industrial strategy under which it plans to develop various projects in key sectors such as manufacturing, infrastructure, energy and research. Under the strategy, the government announced plans to invest GBP556.0 million (US$713.4 million) to promote economic growth in Northern England.

-- According to the ONS, the seasonally adjusted average new orders volume index for housing rose by 5.2%, going from 75.7 in 2015 to 79.6 in 2016. This was preceded by an annual contraction of 4.3% in 2015. An increase in new housing construction activity could be attributed to the government's efforts to overcome the country's housing shortage.

-- With an aim to provide access to efficient internet connectivity to businesses and homes across the UK, in November 2016 the government announced plans to invest GBP1.0 billion (US$1.3 billion) to develop the broadband infrastructure until 2021. Under this initiative, the government will deploy full-fiber optic networks and future 5G communication networks in the country.

-- In March 2016, Manchester City Council granted approval for the renovation of Manchester airport. The project includes the expansion of Terminal 2, self-service check-in facilities and the construction of a security hall. The upgraded airport is expected to handle over 55.0 million passengers per annum by 2050 - up from 23.0 million in 2016.
