Every year, Marcum surveys the national construction industry. The results reveal key trends in the construction industry today.
In our 2022 report, respondents expressed a cautious optimism, buoyed by the federal infrastructure bill, growing backlogs, and other tailwinds. However, many factors still threaten the industry on a highly competitive landscape.
- Close to 60% of respondents expect to see more opportunity this year. That’s the highest percentage for anticipated growth – and the lowest percentage.
- More than half of respondents expect to see a positive financial impact from the Infrastructure Invesment and Jobs Act.
- Backlog took a significant leap, with 48% of respondents reporting higher backlog. That’s up from 29% last year.
