Government initiatives for infrastructure developments to support the construction industry
- North America is the third largest region in performing construction activities after Asia-Pacific and MENA regions. North America has a GDP of 29,010 USD per capita, with an expected growth rate of 3.6% y-o-y in 2022. The construction industry sector contributes nearly 7% of North America's GDP. The factors affecting the North American construction industry are new investments, residential and non-residential constructions, government policies, and others.
- In 2020, the construction industry faced many challenges due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The supply of raw materials such as steel, copper, aluminum, stone, and fixtures was shrunk during the year. In the United States, the import of iron and steel was reduced to USD 18.7 billion from USD 24 billion in 2019 due to the lockdowns in many countries across the world.
- The building and construction sector recovered again in 2021 with a growth rate of 5.6% owing to the reopening of international borders for trade exchange, regularized supply chains, and many other factors. Residential construction is increasing in North America. For instance, the number of new housing starts in Canada was 271,880 thousand in 2021, which is 20% more than in 2020.
- In March 2022, the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) announced that the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) program would distribute USD 7.25 billion for FY 2022-2026 to all states and regions to build multimodal freight and highway projects of national or regional significance. These factors will raise the construction activities in the North American region in the future, with a construction output change of 2.7% by 2030.
