According to Insight Data, forecasts from the CPA (Consumer Products Association) hint that ‘brighter times’ might be just around the corner for the construction industry.
While UK construction output could drop by 25% this year, the CPA predicts the sector will bounce back by 26% in 2021 – raising the prospect of a V-shape recovery for our industry.
These forecasts offer hope for many businesses that supply into construction – but while this may present exciting opportunities for supply businesses, it’s likely to create new challenges too, adds Insight Data.
With a surge in new building projects, many supply companies will double down on marketing efforts to try and secure new business. Beating off the competition could become increasingly difficult in the months ahead, says Insight, with many companies looking for ways to ‘cut through the noise’.
