The heavy and civil engineering construction market is segmented into utility system construction; highway, street, and bridge construction and other heavy and civil engineering construction.
The global heavy and civil engineering construction market is expected to grow from $1528.13 billion in 2020 to $1623.35 billion in 2021 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $2104.6 billion in 2025 at a CAGR of 7%.
