Quantitative Analysis

1. Annual Analysis: 2025 vs. 2024 (Seasonally Adjusted, Table 1a and Table 2a)

Comparison of average index numbers and total output in £ million for 2025 versus 2024.

Average Index Numbers (Table 1a, 2022=100)

Sector 2024 Avg Index 2025 Avg Index % Change
Public New Housing 97.9 85.0 -13.2%
Private New Housing 81.5 85.7 5.1%
Total Output in £ Million (Table 2a)

Sector 2024 Total (£M) 2025 Total (£M) % Change
Public New Housing 5,951 2,960 -50.3%
Observations
  • Declines: Public New Housing (-13.2% index, -50.3% value), Private Commercial New Work (-7.5% index, -46.2% value), Private Housing R&M (-4.1% index, -44.8% value), and Total Housing R&M (-3.0% index, -43.3% value) show significant declines.
  • Growth: Public Other New Work (+17.2% index, -30.6% value), Private Industrial New Work (+13.5% index, -33.6% value), Private New Housing (+5.1% index, -37.8% value), and Non Housing R&M (+4.8% index, -36.5% value) show index growth, but value declines suggest price or volume adjustments.
  • Overall: All Work index increases slightly (+1.6%), but total output value drops significantly (-40.3%), indicating a possible deflationary effect or reduced activity in monetary terms.

Trends and Market Outlook

  1. Sector-Specific Trends:
      • Public New Housing: Consistent decline across analyses (-13.2% annually, -9.0% 6-month, -5.2% Q1 vs. Q4 2024). The significant drop in value (-50.3% annually, -25.4% 6-month) suggests reduced investment or project delays.
      • Private New Housing: Shows growth in index (+5.1% annually, +4.1% 6-month) but sharp value declines (-37.8% annually), indicating potential price deflation or lower project scales.

  2. Overall Market Trends:
    • Index vs. Value Discrepancy: While the All Work index shows slight growth (+1.6% annually, +1.5% 6-month), the significant value decline (-40.3% annually) suggests a deflationary environment or reduced project sizes.
    • Seasonal Stability: Seasonally adjusted data shows stable but slow growth (e.g., +1.2% Q2 vs. Q1 2025), indicating resilience despite economic challenges.
  3. Market Outlook:
    • Positive Drivers: Growth in Public Other New Work and Private Industrial New Work suggests targeted public investment and industrial resilience.
    • Challenges: Declines in Public New Housing, Private Commercial New Work, and Private Housing R&M indicate weaknesses in residential and commercial sectors.
  4. Recommendations:
    • Investment Focus: Prioritize sectors with growth potential (Public Other New Work, Private Industrial New Work, Infrastructure).
    • Cost Management: Address value declines by optimizing costs.
    • Monitor Housing: Policy incentives could stimulate recovery in housing sectors.

Notes

  • The significant value drops in Table 2a and 2b for 2025 vs. 2024 may reflect data inconsistencies or incomplete projections.
  • The Q3 2025 analysis is limited to July data, reducing its reliability.
  • Non-seasonally adjusted data (Table 1b, 2b) shows higher volatility, suggesting seasonal factors significantly influence construction output.

This analysis provides a comprehensive view of the 2025 construction output in Great Britain, highlighting growth areas and challenges for strategic planning.
