Freedonia Market Research Press Releases US Expenditures on Commercial Building Construction to Advance 4.3% Annually in Nominal Terms to 202

US Expenditures on Commercial Building Construction to Advance 4.3% Annually in Nominal Terms to 2023

Cleveland, OH, August 14, 2019 — US expenditures on commercial building construction are forecast to advance 4.3% annually in nominal terms through 2023, according to Commercial Building Construction: United States, a report recently released by Freedonia Focus Reports. Rising consumer spending will spur businesses’ expansion and investment in new and improved structures. Rising government revenue will stoke advances for spending on such structures as schools and government offices. The pace of gains is expected to moderate from the faster rebound-fueled growth of the 2012-2018 period, reflecting the extent of the rebound in activity already achieved.

Expenditures in the education segment – the largest discrete segment – are forecast to rise 4.1% annually through 2023. Rising government revenues due to an expanding economy are expected to support state and local funding for new schools and renovation projects.

These and other key insights are featured in Commercial Building Construction: United States. This report forecasts to 2023 US commercial building construction expenditures in nominal and real (inflation-adjusted) US dollars and floor space in square feet.
