We are pleased to present the third edition of Global Powers of Construction, a publication in which we identify, list and outline the world’s major listed construction groups and provide insights in terms of macroeconomic expectations and innovation trends within the industry. The data included in this edition of GPoC is the product of a comprehensive review of different external sources, such as annual company reports, Euroconstruct, the European Commission, the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, Forbes and ENR reports. The analysis has also benefited from comments and suggestions by Deloitte professionals from different countries. As in previous editions, this publication includes an analysis of the current macroeconomic outlook and expectations for coming years in the global construction industry. During the last three years the construction market grew at a moderate pace but the slight deceleration noted in 2019 combined with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, have negatively impacted forecasts for 2020 and have increased uncertainty levels for the subsequent years. Nevertheless, global need for infrastructure over the next 30 years is still huge, since only 25% of the infrastructure required for 20501 exists today.
