Market Highlights

The Global Industrial Construction Market is estimated to register a CAGR of 5.45% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 330.89 Billion by 2035.

Rapid urbanization and industrialization are two of the most significant contributors to the global industrial construction market. An increasing population is moving from rural to urban jurisdictions, especially in developing countries, creating a demand for the supportive infrastructure – whether housing, transportation, or industrial facilities- that would help spur economic growth. One significant example is the Greater Bay Area initiative in China that joined together nine cities, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong, into a single economic and manufacturing drive. 

The megaregion leads to billions of investments in the industrial construction market, with the built environment having significant local insight and foresight concerning high-tech parks, logistics hubs, and advanced manufacturing plants to serve all of the demand in this district. This region adds over 11% to China's GDP and continues to attract significant foreign direct investment with a seemingly eternal development agenda completely supporting further infrastructure. In India, the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC), a $100 billion infrastructure investment, aims to establish smart cities and industrial corridors along a 1,500 km route from Delhi to Mumbai. The project is backed by the Japanese government and the Indian public and private sector and will see the continued investment in industrial parks, power plants, and transport and logistics, while resulting in new industries, jobs, and new local economies. What these two scenarios indicate is that urbanization drives a domino effect. As cities extend, our economy requires the industrial ecosystem to rise to meet and create, increasing demand for goods, services, and jobs.

Segment Analysis

The Global Industrial Construction Market has been segmented based on By Construction Type, By Building Type, By Component Type, By End-use.

Based on construction type, global industrial construction market is segmented into Modular Construction,(Permanent Modular Construction (PMC) ,Relocatable Modular Buildings) , Stick-Built (Traditional) Construction ( Concrete Frame Construction, Steel Frame Construction, Wood Frame Construction). The Stick-Built (Traditional) Construction segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Modular Construction is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.

Stick-built or traditional construction is a method of building on-site by assembling the parts (component by component). This method is still the most common, and prevalent method of industrial construction because of the flexibility in design and decor materials. Stick-built construction is used for large custom-built facilities like manufacturing plants, warehouses, or power stations. The stick-built form of construction will always follow the complexity of a design that is site-specific. It allows integrated infrastructure in relation with the surrounding infrastructure, although it can take a long time to construct and can be subjected to adverse weather that could cause delays. The traditional construction method will withstand the weather and provide structural integrity and longer lifespan even if changes are experienced in both construction and engineering.

Based on building type, global industrial construction market is segmented into Manufacturing Plants ( Automotive, Electronics, Food Beverage) ) , Warehouses Distribution Centers, Data Centers, Clean Rooms / Laboratories, Power Energy Facilities, Waste Water Treatment Plants. The Structural Systems segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Pre-Engineered Components is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.

Context is king in all aspects of design. Manufacturing facilities are essential to the industrial construction space, built purposely for the production of things at scale. The design of a manufacturing facility has its own set of challenges, because at times they provide for either extremely complicated machinery or these bulky flows of creating goods. In addition to the machinery it also must incorporate workflows to store materials and assurances for the safety of employees as well. Projects of this type give heavy use to higher structure requirements (high volume and high load), differentiated flooring systems, and lots of electrical and mechanical systems. Manufacturing facilities are also typically subject to rigorous environmental, health, and safety criteria. In the new era of manufacturing, the design and construction of auto plants now typically emphasize automation, energy efficiency, and lean manufacturing plans. In view of all of this, these new facilities must really begin with regional demand, access to raw material, and especially now with supply chain logistics for how and where these facilities will be build. The world is shifting to Industry 4.0 and we are even developing the plans as constructs become smarter.

Based on By Component Type, the global Industrial Construction Market has been segmented into Structural Systems, Interior Build-Out, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP), Pre-Engineered Components, On-Site Built Components. The Structural Systems segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing (MEP) is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.

Structural systems typically make up the physical framework of an industrial facility. Structural systems are the combination of the foundations, beams, columns, slabs and load bearing walls that are engineered to support the weight the building, prevent lateral forces like wind and seismic and accommodate the loads of heavy machinery operations. Structural systems will use materials successfully used as a part of other similar types of work. Common materials used are steel, reinforced concrete and precast materials. The combination and configuration, for each job, will depend on the size and operational use of the facility.

Based on By End-Use, the global Industrial Construction Market has been segmented into Oil & Gas, Pharmaceutical, Food Processing, Automotive, Aerospace, Logistics, Chemicals, Utilities Infrastructure. The Logistics segment dominated the global market in 2024, while the Utilities Infrastructure is projected to be the fastest–growing segment during the forecast period.

Logistics construction supports the warehousing, transportation, and delivery of products. Key project types are distribution centers, cross-dock terminals, and freight hubs. Modern logistics buildings emphasize clear heights, large open floor areas, strong floor slabs, and sophisticated automated systems, such as AS/RS and conveyor networks. Locations with access to highways, ports, and urban centers offer the best last-mile delivery potential. The global e-commerce boom has further increased spending on logistics infrastructure. These investments want fast build time and scalable and flexible facilities. Sustainable buildings with integration of sustainable resources and smart energy paradigms are becoming a standard expectation in logistics real estate development.

Regional Analysis

Based on Region, the Global Industrial Construction is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2024, while the Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest–growing Region during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is the fastest growing region in the global industrial construction market, led by China, India, Japan and Southeast Asia. China still remains the elephant in the room by an overwhelming distance with its massive investment in manufacturing, energy and logistics infrastructure across the country, underpinned by new regulations intended to legitimate a new, sustainable economy. The 'economic rebalancing' is manifesting itself through sharp upticks in neighbouring countries. India is nurturing its industrial base and making a significant piece of it through its involuntary commitment to Build in India, driven by increased foreign direct investment (FDI) and heightened demand for electronics, electric vehicles and pharmaceuticals. Southeast Asia is being favoured by companies who are diversifying away from China offering an emerging industrial construction opportunity. 

All industrial construction in the Asia Pacific region will continue to experience growth driven by urbanisation, population, and digitalisation. The industrial warehousing for food, beverages and essentials (e.g. pharmaceuticals), data centres and renewable energy plants are key growth areas. Further, there is a relatively cheap and skilled workforce within the region, as well as government support to attract private sector investment. There are real opportunities within the region but there are potential challenges to project timelines and schedules of other tasks from disruption to supply chains or lack of policy clarity or constraints from humanitarian or mechanical issues in general.
