Project Insight: Global Industrial Construction Projects (Q3 2026)
Powered by ![]()
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
This report provides a detailed analysis of industrial construction projects globally, based on projects tracked by GlobalData.
GlobalData is currently tracking industrial construction projects with a total value of $6.3 trillion at all stages from announcement to execution. This pipeline mostly comprises industrial buildings, manufacturing plants, mines and mineral processing, and other related facilities. In terms of the current project pipeline value, North-East Asia accounts for the largest share, with a pipeline of $1.6 trillion, accounting for 26.0% of global project value – ahead of North America with 18.2% ($1.1 trillion) and South Asia with a 12.4% share ($778.8 billion). The smallest share of the pipeline is attributed to Australasia, which accounts for a 2.3% share ($146.5 billion). The pipeline is marginally skewed toward the later stages, with projects in the pre-execution (design, tender and award) and execution stages accounting for 56% of the pipeline, while projects in the pre-planning (announced and study) and planning stages account for the remaining 44% of the pipeline, by value. Assuming all projects in the pipeline proceed according to their schedules and spending is distributed evenly across the execution stages, annual pipeline expenditure will reach $1.1 trillion in 2027 and increase to $1.4 trillion in 2028.
