GlobalData's Construction Risk Index (CRI) provides a standardized view of the underlying degree of country-level risk facing the construction industries in 91 major developed and emerging markets around the world.
The construction risk outlook in 2025 is being defined by the adaptability of project owners to source building materials (at inflated rates), and the capability of public-sector agencies to lifeline project funding. While the OECD emphasize that the full effects of US tariffs are yet to materialize, as data center investment combat macroeconomic headwinds, narrow margins and inventory buffers means that global construction activity is proving somewhat resilient. Converse to expectations, project cancellations across H1 2025 fell by 14% year-on-year (YoY), according to GlobalData's Project Database.
