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.
Global construction risk has remained elevated throughout 2025, reflecting the interaction of political uncertainty, subdued economic growth, restrictive financial conditions as inflation persists, and elevated material prices constraining project delivery. While GlobalData records construction risk to have eased slightly compared with the Q2 2025 update, the current global risk environment continues to constrain project starts, make financing more difficult for project owners, and squeeze margins for contractors across many of the 91 construction markets covered in the construction risk index (CRI).
